Incredible storage locker find! Blue Note Rarity locked away for 35+ years!

Mint copy of this classic LP for the discriminating jazz fan! Never again! Moderate reserve.

LABEL DESCRIPTION:  BLUE NOTE RECORDS INC • 47 WEST 63rd • NYC

INNER SLEEVE: 27 YEARS BLUE NOTE promo sleeve.

GRADE & DESCRIPTION (COVER):  NM. High gloss laminated cover is in beautiful shape still in original shrink. Minor 3/4" tear through shrink wrap--see photo. Just opened to check record and label. 43 W. 61st Street address.

The outline of the record on the photo of the front cover is some light scuffing on the shrink wrap only--the cover is in perfect shape under the shrink wrap (with the exception of the tear on the top). Shrink has an early "Stereo" era sticker assuring the buyer that this mono record is playable on stereo players! Record is Mono.

GRADE & DESCRIPTION (RECORD):  Mint. Never played! Absolutely no flaws! Beautiful new sheen. RVG stamps both sides. "9M" etched on both side ("9M" is believed to be a marking that Plastylite used to indicate Blue Note stampers). No Plastylite "ear" or deep groove. Record is from new old stock from a record store in Sacramento from the 60's. The records were stored away for over 20 years! I bought them about 15 years ago, and have carefully stored them since then. Some may have been re-sealed, so I have opened them to confirm the labels inside. You will never find a more perfect copy!! Amazing!!!

Double-boxed in a corner ding-proof corrugated cardboard record mailer with extra cardboard reinforcement or bubble wrap. 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

GRADING TERMS

SS (Still Sealed)
Still contained in original unopened factory seal. Disc is assumed to be undamaged and mint; obviously this is unknown until the album is actually opened and disc examined.

M (Mint)
Perfect condition, no flaws, defects or marks indicating handling or playing. I don't take the word “Mint” lightly and will only use this grade on records in truly pristine condition.

M- or NM (“Mint-minus” or Near Mint)
Has a very minor defect or two that disqualifies it as mint. Vinyl, Labels & Cover are virtually flawless, bright, and shiny. Minor defects can be barely visible scuffs or hairline marks, label may have a small mark or be off center, cover might have a few small dents, or a tiny mark.

VG++/EX
This is a non-standard GoldMine grade, middle grade between M- and VG+. Some visible surface wear, few very minor scratches and scuffs, with minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. Cover has only slight wear.

VG+
Record will have moderate surface wear and may have light record noise at times but still plays nicely. There will be no skips, and audio quality is quite enjoyable, scratches are light and can’t be felt with fingernail. There might be a slight warp that doesn’t affect sound quality. The cover will have some wear but it is still nice to look at, a small seam split might be present. Flaws are quite varied at this grade level, and can include any of them but not very many. In general the vinyl will sound good and the cover will look good.

VG
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
