Charles Mingus - Mingus Plays Piano (spontaneous compositions and improvisations) - Impulse A-60 vinyl LP original orange and black mono with VAN GELDER in the deadwax. 

Original gatefold jacket.  Original inner sleeve.

Vinyl - EX/NM- bright, glossy, with one or two non-feelable, inaudible sleeve scuffs.  Bright orange labels, barely a mark on them.  Beautiful original pressing, perhaps listened to twice.

Jacket - EX nice sharp wide spine, no splits.  A tiny bit of flaking at very top of spine.  Some overall light shelf and ring wear.  Lovely gatefold with bright interior (see photos).

A gem from Mingus, stretching out on the piano.  You don't see this one around too often.

Recorded and mastered by Rudy Van Gelder - superb sound.
