12  Montreux                                2310 751                             Exc + One crease on back /  Exc.
HMV LABEL
13 Elle and Louis                         CLP  1098                            Nice sleeve but tear front, bottom right  Therefore VG ++  /  Vg ++  Although there are some marks, they are fine and not serious. The replay is very quiet. I have a mint copy and it plays and sounds the same.
14 Hello Love                              CLP  1383                            Exc - -  /   VG ++    Some light marks which give occasional light surface noise. In my humble opinion her best album of ballads.
15 Songs for Swingers                CLP  1322                           VG  No major defects, just a bit grubby  /   VG +++ Surface marks and surface noise but not all the time. Plays better than it looks.
St MICHAEL LABEL
16 Tenderly                                 2102/0102                           VG + +  Front and back exc but edges are worn.  /  Exc   For some artists the M&S label is very collectable. This album is the stereo version of Hello Love.
MFP LABEL
17 Ella & Louis                           MFP 1296                           Exc -  /   Exc +  Half a dozen or so clicks track 1, side 1.
CAPITOL LABEL
18 Brighten the Corner              ST 2685                              Mint -  /   Exc +  
19 Brighten the Corner              SM 11793                           Exc    /    Exc +    The mono recording of the above.
MCA LABEL
20 Ella & her Fellas                  MCL 1705                           EXC  /  Exc         There are 4 tracks with Louis and a lovely calypso with Louis Jordan, and it sounds wonderful.
Many of the records come with their original sleeves.
I have been frank in my grading, over critical I would say but I I'd like to hear a buyer say that they sound and look better than described, sooner than the opposite.
Thank you for your attention and please do not hesitate to ask questions.
Kind regards,
Brian.
