Condition
Vinyl: F-G. Unsoiled on visual inspection. A number of scuffs, marks and
hairlines across both sides but no deep scratches. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is fair to good. Loud crackling and surface noise at run-ins and repetitive whirring most evident through much of side 1. Some quieter cues are unaffected. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking.
Outer Sleeve (Cover): VG. Colours
are bright, unfaded and clean on superb gloss sleeve front and back.
Edges are clean and on scuffed. Spine pinched but with a few splits increases. Edges showed mild scuffing and slight bowing. Aperture lightly dogeared and bowed. Disc impression outline on front and a few creases in from some edges but overall a great cover. Back of sleeve flipbacks present and attached with mild creasing in from spine and scuffing to corners.
Inner Sleeve: VG. White paper with rounded corners. Some foxing / stains on one side. Folding and creasing but clean and intact.

Review
Lord Jim was filmmaker Richard Brooks' adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel about a disgraced British seaman (Peter O'Toole) who seeks redemption in the furthest reaches of Southeast Asia.
Bronislau Kaper's transcendent score – one of the last major works from the composer of Mutiny on the Bounty and other epics – features a powerful main theme and beautiful secondary melodies for Jim's spiritual journey and romance with a native girl (Daliah Lavi).
The balance of Kaper's score features symphonic action music as well as authentic source cues for gamelans.
