THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. 

*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD (VG) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a VG+, looks and plays great.

Record Grade VG+ = ONE OWNER. Very well maintained. Just listened to both sides of the whole album with headphones on and it plays beautiful. The vinyl looks clean. Little to no surface noise at all. A few minor surface scratches from playing the record that have no effect on music. No skips or jumps. Difficult to find this rare vintage recording in such nice condition. (see pictures) 

Jacket Grade VG = Very well maintained. We kept it on our shelf in plastic cover all these years. NO Writing. Thin European style jacket. Small glue mark from original price sticker. Minor staining from age. A tiny bit of corner dents from normal shelf use. A very clean jacket for a 58 year old album. (see pictures)

The pictures were taken of the exact vinyl record and album cover you will receive, moments before this listing was written. Please make sure to review the images and ask any questions prior to bidding.

*We consider all reasonable offers and respond to ebay messages immediately.
