Condition of record is a real nice EX with a couple of very small and light surface marks which only show up under strong light, cannot be felt, and do not affect play.  Condition of cover is VG+ with a small stain and a little writing in blue ballpoint on the back cover, a few slight wrinkles, some contact and ring wear, and some wear along the edges and on the corners.  Cover has no water damage, tape, splits, tears, or stickers other than the promo sticker on the front cover.  Verve Records stock inner sleeve is in nice shape with some very slight wrinkles, no other real flaws.This original 1968 promo LP would still be a choice addition to any modern jazz record collection!  Winning bidder pays $4.00 media mail postage or actual priority mail postage within the U.S.  I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - PLEASE NOTE: NEW FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (14.50) AND GERMANY is $22.00 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 6/1, NOT ME!!!  PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S.!   WINNING BIDDER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE!
