Extremely rare Dizzy Gillespie "The Small Groups 1945 - 1946" Phoenix Records LP-2 red label 15-track LP, featuring Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, Al Haig, Milt Jackson, Kenny Clarke and Sarah Vaughan among others.  This album was released in the early 1970s.   

The jacket is in "NM" condition with no seam splits, ringwear, edgewear or writing (see photos).

The vinyl is in "NM" condition with only superficial paper scuffs; the record has obviously never been played and is listed as new since these albums were never shrink wrapped when produced (see photos). 

Grading is based on the following criteria:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

“M” Mint - a near perfect or unplayed  record.

“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.

“EX+” close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

“EX” a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.

“VG+” There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few skuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
