Condition - Grading is Visual Under Bright Light

Cover is a solid VG+. The front cover graphics are beautiful and vivid with some age toning along the opening. Some wear on the corners with a bit of rounding on the lowe corners and a 1/8 inch split on the lower right corner. The printing on the edge is sharp and clear, seams are nice. The back cover slick shows light surface wear,  a few very small stains, and a number in pencil on the upper left corner. "Printed and Packaged by GEM Albums, Inc. N.Y." on the bottom right corner.  A nice of this cover despite the flaws.

LP is a nice glossy VG+ with some light sleeve wear, and a few light scuffs and hairlines, nothing feelable or serious. Labels are clean and beautiful. A pretty example of this rare and desirable early Prestige. 

Overall not perfect or NM but a nice copy of a rare jazz LP. This copy should make some collector very happy. Check out my other auctions for more rare and interesting records. Winning auctions may be combined to save postage cost. Check out my feedback for results of recent rare record auctions.

Grading

Grading is SS (still sealed), NM, VG+, VG. The myriad of grading systems on Ebay is a good indicator of the subjective nature of grading. In my opinion NM is close to perfect with one or two very minor flaws, VG+ is above average and collectable and VG is average used condition but probably the best choice for playing. I'm a collector and try to describe LPs as accurately as possible, the way I would want them described to me. The pictures should at least give a good indication of the condition of the covers and labels. Please see my seller feedback for comments on my grading. If you don't agree with how I'm calling a record that is your privilege but with all respect please don't bid.
