Super rare first mono pressing of this jazz masterpiece by Wayne Shorter entitled "Speak no evil"; features "ear" and van gelder in deadwax!  Cover has some light wear and I took multiple pics highlighting all the minor issues.  Overall its a great looking sleeve in solid condition.  Vinyl is also quite visually clean with just a few very light small marks and scuffs under bright light.  Playback is great with zero groove wear or distortion...during my entire playgrade I heard just a few small faint tics.  That said please note the following - during Wayne's solo on the first track on side one there is an audible swoosh/cracking noise that occurs for 6-7 revolutions and is never heard again.  This is a known problem with this mono pressing and the same flaw is on my other copy and on the copies of people I know that have it.  Its not that bad and only occurs about 6-7 revolutions and then disappears entirely.  Other then that this is a tremendously powerful sounding mono copy!
<P> North Americans add $17 for tracked shipping; overseas add $55 for tracked shipping.  Sorry for high rates but this is exactly what Canada Post charges and I will not ship without a tracking number. <P> Please see my other auctions for a few more interesting and nice jazz records!
