Dizzy Gillespie and His Orchestra "Afro" 1954 Nogran Records MG N-1003 mono yellow label. Heads up collectors, this is an important, exciting and hard to find record. Sleeve is in solid shape, nice straight on front and back, only very light scuffing/discoloration, a name written in small letters on the back (see photos), but moderate abrasion damage on the top and bottom edges, a bit worse on the spine, can't rate the whole thing better than a Very Good (VG). Vinyl is heavy and still shiny, but with a few scattered light scratches visible on both sides. Playback on the A side starts with moderate crackle and click, and stays noisy for the first 3 or 4 minutes, then quiets down nicely after that. The B side also starts with crackle, fairly heavy, but quiets down right away, with some isolated clicks that come and go in B2 and B3. There are long stretches of really clean sound, and overall, I can rate the record as Very Good (VG). Just cleaned with a VPI wet-vac system. I'll pay the shipping via USPS Media Mail.
