Hi, this is a VG+ to VG++  copy of   Miles Ahead.  CL 1041  released on the Columbia Label , 1957. A few tiny paper scuffs, some light scratches and some light hairlines  are to be found on  inspection of the vinyl .     Labels are nice and clean with a couple of very light spindle marks.   Comes with original inner "Take Care Of Your Records" sleeve. The  cover is a VG + with some very light ring wear  and a couple of corner bumps. Splits are just starting at the top and bottom centers with a three inch split at the spine center. A name in pen at the top back.  Not a perfect cover but not dried out or shredded. Did not need it but a peice of clear tape over half top right seam, only visible from the back. Looks to be preventative maintainence.  Please see below for detailed grading of the Vinyl. If you are looking for virtually perfect play without backround noise stay at VG+++ and above. VG++ and lower grades will have corresponding amounts of noise but no skips unless noted, as in if it looks questionable, I'll play it before listing it. Play grading is done on a Denon DP-62L with an H-1000 pre-amp for the cartridge, so it's pretty sensitive. Some noise won't even be heard on some standard systems.  If the cover has any damage such as a promo cut or seam split, it will be described. I do combine shipping.  Costs are first record, full ship fee or free if offered and 50 cents for each additional. So yes if you buy a record with free shipping, it's only 50 cents per each additional after that.

Grading: Near Mint,  Just that, an opened album that is clean with virtually no scuffs.

               Near Mint Minus- A few paper scuffs, taken out and played.

               VG+++     More than a few paper scuffs, but very close to NM-

               VG++       Beginning to have a few light marks/scratches as well. Maybe some occasional backround noise.

               VG+         Some light to medium scratches, occasional noise.

               VG           Medium scratches, some backround noise, maybe even a pop or two. If there is a skip, it will be noted.

               VG-          Will be played and defects listed, might even have a feelable scratch, will also have to be a HTF or rare                                  pressing.   

               Good- I will only list rare albums at this grade. I have been buying, trading, collecting and listening to records most of my life and I need more space so some must go.  I will describe them as accurately as I can and will be glad to answer any questions about them. Please contact me if there is any reason you don't want to leave positive 5 star feedback. Thanks For Looking, Happy Bidding and Please See My Other items.
