RECORD GRADING (see photos) :
This is a 1st press original copy played several times but cover and sound quality are still nice.
Cover : EXC (VG+)
The cover is nice and well preserved ! Very close to EXC+ (VG++)
--- Front is EXC (VG+) : very slight yellowing on the right side.
--- Back is EXC (VG+) : Very slight yellowing on the left side ; a tiny tear on the left side (near the opening) ; a small handwritting date on top right.
--- Slices are EXC (VG+) : Few slight wear signs.
--- Corners are EXC- (VG) : Slight wear signs.
--- Original inner sleeve : No
Audio : EXC (VG+)
The sound is surprisingly very nice (close to EXC+) considering this copy has been played several times. It is due to the quality of the Blue Note pressing.
NO tics ; NO clicks ; NO skips. Just some small surface noises due to the using the LP but doesn’t disturb the listening : quasi-inaudible except on quiet moments (please note there are almost no quiet moments on this terrific session).
Visual : EXC- (VG)
This copy has been played several times.
NO scratches.
Few slight hairlines (NON feelable).
Few slight superficial surface traces (NON feelable).
The vinyl shows slight signs of groove wear (which explain the small surface noises). See the Audio description.
Label : quite many slight spindle marks (which indicate that the LP has been played several times) ; a small BIEM stamp on Side 1.
See the grading policy in the store pages.
