Please read my description carefully before bidding.  I will ship the item worldwide and will accept free return if it doesn't match the listing description.


This one is a first mono and deep-grooved pressing of Lou Donaldson's LD+3. Blue Note Records BLP-4012.  This is an original issue from Blue Note Records, not a reissue version of Classic Records or Analog Production.  Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, in 1959, with "RVG" and "EAR" stamped on the dead wax of both sides. No "R" and no "INC" on both sides.  Address on labels: "BLUE NOTE RECORDS 47 WEST 63rd. NYC".  The cover is the 1st version laminated cover with no address on the back cover.


The vinyl plays VG++ on side 1 and VG+ on side 2.  Play smooth with Blue Note fidelity. Some small pops between songs and during some passages (but not overpowering music).   Visually, vinyl is bright and glossy.  

The cover is VG.  Paper loss on corners and writing on the back cover.  The spine is intact.  


The record is play graded. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. 


My grading is as follows: M (perfectly like new), NM, NM-/VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G, G-. You will be satisfied.  And I will accept a free return.  Please bid with confidence.


Shipping:


The record will ship worldwide from Bangkok, Thailand, via registered air parcel post.  I will use a professional packing service to pack them secure for a long journey.


Shipping to the Americas and Europe: 20 USD.  To Asia and Australia: 15 USD.
