YOU ARE BIDDING ON MOVIN" AND GROOVIN" BY HORACE PARLAN.  THE ADDRESS ON THE LABEL (BOTH SIDES) IS "BLUE NOTE RECORDS, INC. 47 WEST 63RD NYC".   "RVG" IS IMPRINTED ON BOTH SIDES, AND THERE IS A LITTLE MARK THAT LOOKS LIKE AN "EAR" ON BOTH SIDES (SEE PHOTO).  I RECEIVED THIS ALBUM FROM A FRIEND.  I DO NOT KNOW A LOT ABOUT ALBUMS OR HOW TO GRADE THEM SO PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY AND ASK QUESTIONS.  I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE WHAT I SEE.  UPDATE:  I DID PLAY THE ALBUM ALL THE WAY THROUGH (ON MY VERY OLD RECORD PLAYER).  IT SOUNDED PRETTY GOOD TO ME.  THERE WAS SOME BACKGROUND NOISE IN SOME PLACES, BUT OVERALL, SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.  AGAIN, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY RATE.  THE COVER IS "DECENT" BUT DOES HAVE A TEAR IN THE SIDE (SEE PHOTO).  THERE IS ALSO A SPOT ON FRONT OF THE COVER (IT IS ABOUT DIME SIZE, AGAIN, SEE PHOTO) AND A LITTLE DISCOLORATION TOWARD THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT COVER.  THE BACK IS ALSO A LITTLE DIRTY.  THE RECORD LABELS LOOK PRETTY GOOD.  THE RECORD DOES HAVE SOME MARKS, SURFACE SCRATCHES, AND WEAR AS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM A RECORD THIS AGE.  I CAN SEE FINGERPRINTS ON THE VINYL (SOME ARE MINE!) -- THEY WILL LIKELY CLEAN OFF, BUT I WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THEM (I WILL LEAVE THAT FOR THE BUYER).  I HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE, I WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD BUYING EXPERIENCE.   I PREFER PAYPAL.

BELOW IS SOME INFO I COPIED:

ITEM INFORMATION: Rated 4 stars by All Music Jazz. Review states, “Horace Parlan's debut album for Blue Note, Movin' and Groovin', is a thoroughly impressive affair, establishing Parlan as a distinctive hard bop stylist. Working with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Al Harewood, Parlan steals the show, playing hard-driving, bluesy bop and lyrical ballads. If it weren't for the inventive chord voicings and percussive right-hand attack, it would be impossible to tell that he was missing two fingers on his right hand, since his playing is remarkably agile and fluid. Parlan sounds vital on swinging blues, slow ballads, and straight-ahead bop, and Jones and Harewood provide appropriately empathetic support on this collection of standards, blues, bop, jazz, and originals. Everything swings, no matter the tempo, and the end result is a fine debut from a distinctive pianist.”

A great Blue Note LP and a worthy addition to a quality jazz record collection.
