Description
This auction is for the Japanese Toshiba pressing of Ike Quebec's Easy Living. The album was also released under the title Congo Lament, and features Art Blakey on drums and Sonny Clark on piano. The record comes with the original obi and Japanese Language insert. The vinyl is immaculate. The jacket is in great shape, with just a tiny corner bump (see photos).
This record was play-graded, using the Goldmine grading system. I grade conservatively, as I would rather have you pleasantly surprised than disappointed.
This record comes from my personal collection. It has been ultrasonically cleaned and sleeved in a new MoFi inner. The record jacket will be placed in a new 3mil outer sleeve and the record will be shipped in the sleeve behind the jacket to prevent seam splits. Although I am new to selling on eBay, I have sales and feedback on Discogs, reddit, and the Steve Hoffman forums. Please message me for details, as I’m happy to provide my profile info.
