Disc Grade: VG+,maybe VG++. This record has been graded under a 100-watt bulb and has been carefully examined three times. To quote author Neal Umphred, from Goldmine’s Price Guide to Collectible Jazz Albums 1949-1969, pages 16 and 17 (copyright 1994 by Krause Publications), “ . . . A Very Good Plus record (VG+) has been handled and played either infrequently or very carefully (this grade is sometimes referred to as “Excellent”). On a disc, this could mean that there are light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve; the vinyl may have lost some- not all- of its original luster. A slight scratch that did not affect the play in an otherwise nearly Mint disc would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors; a scratch of any sort that audibly clicked throughout at a level greater than or equal to the music would not be acceptable."
Flaws of the disc: Shuck scuffs, much factory shine.
How does it play? Slight noise in silent bands,more on side 2 trail-off. First two songs on both sides play VG+ to VG++. Both "Dis Dis" and "If I Should Lose You" have some slight cracking noises in one or two places, which makes me want to call them VG. All bass solos sound strong. Played with EQ flat.
THIS IS A FABULOUS LP!
Inner Shuck Present? No.
Outer Shuck Condition: Front: LR corner bunged, very slight seam split starting. wear to UL and UR corners. Wear and soil. Wear both sides,ring wear apparent on back.. Back has light spots all over, but looks decent. SHINY LOOKING SHUCK . . . LAMINATED?
