Condition

Cover: strong VG+ to NM 

The original framed cover is in beautiful collectable condition,

a borderline Near Mint because of a slight warp,

a hint of shelf wear on bottom seam and a few minor wrinkles.

The back has small writing and an old sticker from record shop (see scans)

 NO splits, NO peeling, NO tears, NO other flaws.  

Vinyl:  NM

Beautiful vinyl surface

A few minor handling traces 

 NO scuffs, NO scratches, NO other flaws

Vinyl audition: VG+

beautiful mono sound and strong, very enjoyable playback 

There's mild saturation on the horns in loud passages ... perhaps due to the pressing 

repetitive pops for about 20 sec on the last track of side two

  NO skips, NO ticks, NO other audible flaws

Grading

All gradings are based on thorough visual inspection and a full audition.

The standard scale applies (M*, NM, VG+, VG). 

As a rule Near Mint (NM) is my highest grade. 

* I don't believe in Mint (M) and will only use it in the exceptional case

when absolutely sure to deal with an item from unplayed and untouched stock.

I don't offer anything below VG.
