To my surprise and horror I quickly realised that they, Hallmark, had simply used what surely must have been an old copy of the LP in order to produce the CD!
May be they meant : "mastered from original worn vinyl LP, played on a vintage Dansette record player !..."

Yes, no doubt that is what they meant!!!
Such a shame that such a great album should be rendered almost unlistenable due to this kind of cheapskate release. They could at least have used a vinyl LP that was in good condition and didn't actually jump!! The mind boggles....
I shall not be playing it again. But I shall keep an eye on eBay - the source of many a real bargain over the years!
Cheers everyone.
I have the original viny LP (French mono release and UK stereo release) and the EMI 1991 CD reissue. No need for more !
