Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks great, a few creases, surface impressions and light scuffing and discoloration on front. Back is generally discolored with a surface impression near top center and a surface abrasion near bottom right; name written at back top center. Inner-sleeve is original (Liberty ads); two seams partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with mild wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
The End of the World was Julie London's second-to-last charting album, reaching No. 127 on the Billboard charts. This Julie London album is commonly mistaken to be entitled The Good Life, due to mistitling on the album jacket's spine. This error happened again on her 1964 self-titled album Julie London, when it was mistitled as You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry/Wives and Lovers on the album jacket's spine. Ernie Freeman arranged and conducted the orchestra. Desafinado was released as a single and became a minor hit.
