SPINDLE HOLE WITH RUB MARKS. THE VINYL BLANK WITH SOME ASSORTED SURFACE RUB AND PLAY MARKS UNDER BRIGHT ANGLED LIGHT AND ASSIDUOUS EXAMINATION.

WE'VE TEST PLAYED THIS LP ON A PROFESSIONAL SOUND SYSTEM WITH A VPI TURNTABLE WITH A GRADO REFERENCE 1 WOOD CARTRIDGE AND THE LINE MENTIONED DID ELICIT A LIGHT CLICK ON PLAY, NOT ALL THE TIME AND NOT A REAL DISTRACTION. THE REST OF THE LP SOUNDED QUITE FINE. OH, SOME LIGHT SURFACE OR BACKGROUND NOISE HERE AND THERE, BUT NOT A LISTENING PROBLEM. IF YOU WANT A PERFECT COPY THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

FROM A NOTED JAZZ REVIEWER'S PRIVATE COLLECTION

?PLEASE NOTE THE VINYL DESCRIPTION IS ONLY A VISUAL INSPECTION UNLESS OTHERWISE MENTIONED. HERE IS A FEW WORDS ABOUT MY GRADING SYSTEM AND IS IN ADDITION TO ANYTHING WRITTEN ABOVE AND SUPERSEDES ANY OTHER GRADING SYSTEM, INCLUDING GOLDMINE: ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED AND THE RED GRADE ABOVE REFERS ONLY TO THE STATE OF VINYL......YOU PLAY THE VINYL AND NOT THE COVER....COVER IS NOTED SEPARATELY. IF I'VE TEST PLAYED THE LP IT WILL BE NOTED. MINT INDICATES PRISTINE VINYL WITHOUT ANY MARKS ON THE VINYL BLANK. MINT MINUS MAY CONTAIN A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS FROM HANDLING & SLEEVE WEAR OR A FEW PLAYS. IF YOU ARE A REAL VINYL AFICIONADO AND COLLECTOR YOU'LL KNOW THAT EVEN A FACTORY SEALED LP OCCASIONALLY HAS SOME LIGHT RUB OR SLEEVE MARKS FROM TRANSPORT AND SHELVING. ANYTHING IN THE VG CATEGORY WOULD CONTAIN SOME LIGHT AND FINE SURFACE PLAY LINES AND EVIDENCE OF PLAY WEAR THAT IS EASILY SEEN. SELDOM IS ANYTHING OFFERED IN THE "G" STATE.

FROM THE ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
review by Scott Yanow
This [LP] features a logical frontline comprised of tenor saxophonist Lester Young and trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison. With pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Buddy Rich completing the sextet, it is not surprising that the music is quite swinging. Young was in good form that day, obviously happy to be having a reunion with his fellow Count Basie alumnus Sweets. On a variety of swing standards (highlighted by "Mean to Me," "Pennies From Heaven" and "One O'Clock Jump") plus "Bad Boy Blues," Prez and Sweets perform infectiously enjoyable music.

AND, LASTLY, PLEASE DO REMEMBER SOUND QUALITY IS AFFECTED BY WHAT THE VINYL IS PLAYED ON! IF YOUR STEREO SYSTEM HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CHOSEN AND ASSEMBLED FOR IT'S AURAL QUALITIES AND YOU PERFORM BASIC MAINTENANCE LIKE CLEANING YOUR VINYL, CLEANING THE NEEDLE AFTER EACH PLAY, AND REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE WHEN NEEDED, YOUR LPS SHOULD SOUND QUITE GOOD.
