Notes:

Front cover:  Very nice cover.  Small scratches removed through “cloning”.

Sleeve-front:  This record has been played often and the sleeves show it a little.  I did what I could to clean without making it too perfect.

Sleeve-back:  Same issue as above.  Not bad; just played.

Back cover:  Back is in very nice shape.  Just light scratch removal and it was done.

Labels:  Labels needed some work.  In the manufacturing, cracks developed in the labels – specifically in Side 2.  I pulled the “Michael Franks” text from Side 1 and pasted it into Side 2.  Also, the spindle hole had to be covered and that took some doing because there is much cracking there.  Finding a big enough piece of the crest to past over the spindle hole was challenging but it’s all done.
