Here's a very niceoriginal 50th Street copy of Prestige 7047, Sonny Rollins' "Tenor Madness," also featuring a young Coltrane, among others.  This is a first pressing throughout, with the 50th Street address on both cover and label.  Cover grades Ex, with slight rippling of the back cover slick at the opening.  This does not appear to be moisture-related, and there is no accompanying discoloration -- the paper is just standing up. Someone might be able to fix this comparatively minor problem, but I will not be that someone.  The cover also has a slight storage warp, with the two right corners somewhat raised.  Despite this overly picky description, it's a very nice cover, with nice corners and no splits or writing.  Disc grades a strong VG++ or Ex, with a number of hairline marks visible under good light, but nothing too distracting.  The disc is flat-edged, which probably accounts for some of these light marks.  Spindle holes show a few marks, indicating that the disc has been played. Although this is not an "archival" copy, I think you'll find that it is a damn good one, and will please all but the most audiophile.  Shipping in the US is $6 or $7 by priority mail, depending on where you live.  Airmail shipping to Europe is $12, and to Asia $14.  Insurance is optional, and at additional cost.  Although records will be well packed, and removed from cover to prevent seam splitting, insurance is a good idea.  ALL OVERSEAS BIDDERS MUST USE PAYPAL FOR PAYMENT (I state with emphasis, due to problems receiving other forms of payment.  Unfortunately, this has become such a problem that I will cancel the bids of folks who do not comply).  All records are guaranteed, as is my grading.  This is not my primary job, but a means of supporting a fairly bad record buying habit.  As a result, I know what buyers expect, and act accordingly.  Feel free to email me with any questions, but please do not ask for things like sound clips, which are beyond my technological ability.  Thanks for looking -- Paul
