I inherited this Lp from my dad who was a jazz radio dj for over 50 years. This is one of many records he brought home from the radio station. Stamped "Demonstration - Not for sale" on back of sleeve. Shiny NM vinyl, minimal signs of wear, few very light hairlines, scuffs, hard to see. Plays great, with occasional pop here and there and low surface noise. EXC sleeve! Just a little ring wear on the bottom front, none on the back. No creases, no splits. Spine and edges quite clean. No corner bumps. Original inner sleeve is beautiful. Please see all pics. Record will be shipped in proper Lp mailer with stiffeners, poly sleeve for the vinyl and corner protection.
