Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good, light scuffing (front/back); a few surface impressions on front and slight discoloration with darker spots on back. Inner-sleeve is original (London FFRR poly-lined paper). Spine is mostly readable with wear and small developing split near top. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of use and several divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Annunzio Paolo Mantovani was an Anglo-Italian conductor, composer and light orchestra-styled entertainer with a cascading strings musical signature. The book British Hit Singles & Albums stated that he was "Britain's most successful album act before the Beatles ... the first act to sell over one million stereo albums and [have] six albums simultaneously in the US Top 30 in 1959".
