This one is the first mono pressing of Kenny Drew's This Is New. Riverside Records RLP 12-236. The is an original issue from Riverside Records, issued in 1957, not a reissue version.  White Labels and Deep Groove on both labels.


Kenny Drew (piano), Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Wilbur Ware (bass), G.T. Hogan (drums). 


The vinyl looks bright and glossy. Under the bright light, I saw some non-feelable scuffs and small hairlines. Not much. Soft spindle marks on labels. I've played test this record on my system and it plays VG++ on both sides.    


The cover is VG++.  Strong.  Some scuffs and dirt on the back cover (see picture).  Some bruises on the upper spine. No major split, just only small paper crack near a lower left corner on the front.  The spine is intact and readable.


The record is play graded as well as visually. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. M (perfectly like new), NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G, G-. You will be satisfied.
