Tom Jones Vinyl Appraisal

Tom Jones - Green, Green Grass of Home (Vinyl LP)

This is a 12-inch vinyl long-play (LP) record album by Welsh singer Tom Jones, titled 'Green, Green Grass of Home'. The cover features a full-length photograph of Jones in a double-breasted orange/tan peacoat and dark trousers, set against a naturalistic backdrop of tall grass and a pale blue sky. The typography on the front lists the artist and title in a sans-serif font along the side. The tracklist is prominently displayed in the upper right quadrant of the image, including songs like 'Georgia On My Mind' and 'Kansas City'. The cover indicates this is the 'STEREO' version with catalog number PAS 71009, typically associated with the Parrot Records label, dating the release to approximately 1967. The physical condition of this specific jacket is poor to fair. Extensive edge wear and paper loss are visible along the bottom and right edges of the sleeve. There is significant corner blunting, and the cardboard shows signs of delamination and possible water damage or scraping that has removed the top printed layer in several areas. The presence of a price tag or store sticker residue is visible on the bottom right. The craftsmanship of the era is evidenced by the top-loading or side-loading cardboard construction and the high-contrast photographic printing style of the mid-20th century.
