John Coltrane Giant Steps, Atlantic Bullseye Label

$

105

Album cover is in excellent condition , very little discoloration on the back, and some minor fraying on the bottom, but certainly not split.

Vinyl is vg+ to vg ++ depending on the grader, there is very ,very few markings on this record

sleeve does not appear to be an original sleeve

Back of the record is signed by ,  j ayoob  , there were alot of records that i got out of a recent purchase I made that his signature, this is the only album he signed that didnt have a promo stamp on it.   It intrigues me though , because the only other atlantic bullseye label ive seen of this album had a green label while this one is red, and I wonder if it might be a promo album.

Please feel free to ask questions.

this is an answer I wrote to a question that was asked, It is a better description of the record. I wanted to be sure all bidders would have a chance to read.

There are no ugly scuffs, the marks ( scratches and scuffing are seen by carefully looking at the vinyl, any scuffing which is very minor on this record seems to be a little residue buildup from fingerprinting, there are definately no skips that I have heard listining to this album, during quiet sessions of the album you do hear some static and light ticks and pops, they are not heard while the music is playing, If I am standing in the next room I would not hear the static during the quiet time, only if I am next to the speakers. Also remember I do not clean my records, simply because I think it should be done right or not at all and I dont have 500+ for a cleaning system, I feel that most of the static and light ticks would be eliminated with a good cleaning. For this reason I only listen to my rarer records 2-3 times because I think playing them without properly cleaning them can do more harm. Also I only have a mid model record player which can miss or add to sounds that someone with a better system might hear. Finally I have sold numerous records from the collection that this record came from and so far everyone has been happy with the condition of the vinyl. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. Thanks

Personally I would estimate its value at 50-60% of NM value. Depending on the buyers importance of the missing original sleeve.
