Up for grabs here is a beautiful original copy of Donald Byrd’s “Blackjack” issued on Blue Note Records. This is a hard to find German pressing as noted by the boxed GEMA logo on the label. The sleeve is VG some normal shelf wear and a sticker with a name written on it in the upper right corner can probably be carefully removed. The vinyl itself is the showstopper. This thing is Near Mint conservatively grading probably close to Mint. It’s absolutely pristine in rarely played condition. I play tested a couple of tracks and it is crystal clear beautifully sounding with no issues whatsoever. Shipped USPS Media Mail.
