I am an amateur record guy and will not even attempt to grade this wonderful rare vintage album. I bought it at an estate sale from an old musician's daughter in Las Vegas. 

Here's what I can tell you...I 'sample' played it(a little of each song) on my average turntable with an average diamond stylus and even though there was the normal background 'crackle' in a few spots, it sounded WONDERFUL to me. What a treasure to have if you are a collector of such albums. 

The vinyl itself has some of what appear to be surface scratches. The label has quite a few spindle marks especially on the Side 1. What I assume is the inner sleeve looks to be of the cheap almost wax paper-like feeling and is not in good condition(see picture #6). The top seam is split for about 6" and a small piece of tape has place at the end of the split so it won't split anymore(see picture #7). The other seams are fine with no tape marks anywhere. The cover appears to be in really good condition for its age. Although the corners are age worn, there is actual very little ring wear to be seen!

Please see the pictures I have attached before bidding and if you have any other questions I might answer as an amateur, please feel free to ask!
