album." Quality control alert on this one, for "condition buffs": most of our stock on this title arrived with a very minor bump on the extra-heavy duty jacket. Although well packaged by Shadoks, sometimes other Jesus-like forces intervene...So please understand that your stock on this title may arrive with a very minor (appox 1/4" seam bump) cover flaw.
