Artist:  THE ENTOURAGE MUSIC AND THEATRE ENSEMBLE

Title:  Self titled first album

Label:  Folkways FS 33866 Stereo.  Original blue label.  Side 1 has "Purchased at USPS Auction" stamped in black. (see pics) Some spindle marks on labels.

Record condition:  VG.  Number of surface and hairline marks, but this should play fine. Bright and clean vinyl.

Cover condition:  VG-.  Has original shrink wrap on it, but that has allowed some mildew to form so cover is spotted, otherwise solid seams and without damage or marks. Lacks booklet. (Price tag in picture has fallen off.)

Notes:  This is the original Folkways pressing, not the modern re-issue.  Entourage included Joe Clark, Rusti Clark and Michael Smith. They were an avant garde, free jazz trio which released only two albums, both on Folkways.  A scarce jazz record.

RECORD GRADING: 

·         SS    Still sealed. A new and unplayed, unopened record.

·         M     Mint minus.  Clean and bright, no obvious signs of wear, probably played once or twice.

·         VG+   Very good plus. Close to like new with only superficial signs of use which will not affect play. A well cared for record that will satisfy most collectors.

·         VG    Very good.  A used but reasonable copy. There will be some signs of wear and possibly light noise during quiet passages, otherwise a nice and acceptable playing copy.

·         VG-   Very good minus.  A used copy with significant wear, marks and likely to have surface noise.

·         G+    Good plus.  Not a particularly nice copy, however a playable record. We do not like to sell any record in G+ condition unless it is a true rarity and when any copy in playable condition might be desirable.
