THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. Very Rare.

*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD (VG) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a VG+, looks and plays great.

Record Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. The vinyl is in beautiful condition. I just now listened to both sides of the whole album and it plays smooth and quiet. Shiny vinyl. A few surface scratches that have little to no effect on sound, occasional pop at most. Difficult to find this rare vintage record in such great condition. (see pictures) 

Jacket Grade VG+ = Shiny, clean, well maintained. Gatefold is beautiful. We grade the jacket a VG+. No tape. This record is from our personal collection. No major defects at all, just normal use wear. A very clean jacket for a 49 year old album. We have kept it in plastic. It comes with the original Blue Note paper inner sleeve, which is slightly ripped. (see pictures)

"The Jody Grind" is a 1966 recording by the Horace Silver Quintet, led by jazz pianist Horace Silver. Released the following year on his lifetime label Blue Note, it peaked No. 8 of the Billboard jazz album charts. As one of his “groove-centered” recordings it would “wind up as possibly the most challenging”, Steve Huey writes on Allmusic, and gave “one of the most underappreciated” of Silver's albums 4½ stars.
