Alright folks, if you've made it this far then I don't need to tell you what a great record this is...
right?
Breathtaking vocal styling, amazing musicians backing her up - Clifford Brown!  This is the originial mono first press with the drummer label, blue back, so on and so forth- it's the one you want... except:

There's some condition issues here.  Take a look at the sleeve, I actually think despite the seam splits the cover looks great and the spine OK.  The record has taken some abuse however, but if you are familiar with early DG pressing you will know that these records can handle the abuse.  Many thin scratches which do not sound on my Denon DL-110, would be curious to hear on a MONO cart/stylus combo- as well as quite a few more visible scratches which do sound.  Some songs sound better than others.

If you aren't scared off let me tell you the good news.  I have enjoyed this record as-is for years.  Recently upgraded to a better copy, but folks this is a great filler copy.  The sonics of Helen's voice as she sings "hush now... don't explain" will send shivers up your spine, GUARANTEED.  Beyond that this one will have some clicks pops and probably some groove damage so be aware.

Will be shipped in a nice poly sleeve (inner and outer) in a sturdy LP mailer.  Thanks a lot for looking!
If you haven't heard this record yet and don't want to shell out the big bucks you owe it to yourself to get this.
