Description

Greetings and salutations. You are bidding on a used copy of 2LP vinyl edition of Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers live album, "First Flight To Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings."
This item was purchased by me from a local record store and has been played several times since then. The first LP has no issues whatsoever. The vinyl is clean, glossy with little to no surface marks. I will grade LP1 as Near Mint. LP2 has a few surface "paper sleeve" scuffs on side two and in the dead wax of side one, there is an odd scuff which does not affect the play of the music but is an imperfection nonetheless. 
The cover and albums were housed in a 3rd party outer sleeve after purchase and the hype sticker was removed and affixed to said outer sleeve. Very minor edge wear on the corners but I will still grade this in Near Mint condition as there are no other issues to speak of. 
The booklet is in Near Mint condition and the included collector postcards are unopened and still in the envelope.  
This record was lovingly kept vertically in a non-smoking home with no pets and low humidity. 
Shipping will be done via Media Mail and the item will be packaged with protective care to prevent damage. 
Please contact me with questions you might have on this item to remedy any anxieties before bidding.
"Recorded live at Hibiya Public Hall, Tokyo, Japan, January 14, 1961.
Never before released limited edition double-LP includes 6 collector postcards, a 16-page insert with rare photo essay, exclusive interviews with Wayne Shorter, Lou Donaldson and more. Gatefold sleeve. Pressed on 180g vinyl."
