One of the most versatile jazz pianists of the 50's, Ray Bryant is joined here in a trio with Tommy Bryant and Oliver Jackson paying tribute to some of the top jazz composers of the day.  Vinyl is a solid VG+, with very good deep gloss and only a few stray hairlines.  Signature deep groove black labels are VG+, with faint sticker residue on Side 1 and a small scratch on Side 2, otherwise dark and vibrant.  Cover is VG: top seam is split nearly all the way across, no other splits; edge wear; ring wear and rubbing; hard bump on back bottom edge; light name written on back cover.  Front picture and graphics are clear.  Nice player.   Free domestic US standard shipping!  See below for cost of US Priority Shipping, or International Shipping.  Please disregard eBay's automatic shipping calculator for priority or international shipping!  I ship using new packaging materials, no shipping in a used Tide box!

RECORD GRADING (SEE PHOTOS FOR NOTED DEFECTS):

Mint (M) (only if sealed).  Not used for 7". Near Mint (NM): Very little evidence of use, glossy surface, minimal vinyl marking; labels are clean and crisp with no writing, ring wear or significant spindle marking; jackets are clean and square, no writing, no splits, no ring wear. Very Good+ (VG+) : Vinyl shows use but has been well cared for, surface has light scuffs or very light scratches (not feelable) that will not significantly degrade the sound; labels are clean with only minor ring wear, any writing or sticker/residue is discrete, only slight soiling or dirtiness, drill hole OK if label otherwise clean; jackets are clean with no more than light ring wear, minor corner dings, if writing on the cover it is discrete, no more than one slight seam split, light creasing, cutout hole or corner only if rest of jacket is free of defects - multiple flaws of the types described will drop grade. Very Good (VG): Vinyl shows significant use with more scuffing or light scratches, should play through without skipping, will have surface noise particularly at intro and in soft passages, dimished or irregular gloss; labels may have significant ring wear, more prominent writing or stickers/residue, drill hole, more soiling or dirtiness; sleeves may have multiple splits, writing, creasing, soiling or dirtiness, drill holes or cut corners, ring wear - this is a common grade for older 45's but they should still afford an enjoyable listen. Good (G): Infrequent grade usually only applied to rare items, or to one aspect (i.e. the sleeve) if another aspect (i.e. the vinyl) is a significantly higher grade.  Vinyl may have significant scuffing or scratching, poor gloss, significant noise on playing but should play through; labels may have glaring writing, significant ring wear, extensive sticker residue, dirtiness; sleeves may have substantial ring wear, extensive seam splitting, taping, prominent writing.
