Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good; light scuffing, surface impressions and creasing (front/back); discoloration on back with darker spots. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white); some discoloration spots. Spine is mostly readable with wear. Little shelf-wear along top/-edge, heavier wear along bottom edge with developing splits and small split at right side. Some corner wear. Opening is crisp with signs of use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Paper Roses, by Marie Osmond, is her debut studio album. It was the first of three MGM/Kolob albums Osmond would record as solo artist. The album's name came from its title track, Paper Roses, a cover of an Anita Bryant Top 10 hit from 1961. Osmond's version reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973. Osmond became the first female country singer to have a No. 1 hit with her debut single since Connie Smith with Once a Day in 1964. The album includes cover versions of hits by Sonny James (You're the Only World I Know) and Brenda Lee (Fool No. 1). Paper Rosesut peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, No. 59 on the Billboard 200 and No. 38 on the Canadian Albums Chart.
