Prestige LP-7035, "Lights Out!" with Jackie McLean, tenor sax; Donald Byrd, trumpet; Elmo Hope, piano; Doug Watkins, Bass; Art Taylor, drums; from 1957. Original W. 50th St.-label vinyl plays at an average of VG+.  There is some light static on most of the tracks, but not enough to be heard at a distance; there is a one-minute spot of much heavier crackle toward the end of Side B.  The laminated jacket has solid seams but with some laminate loss on bottom seam and a 2" (3 cm) split at upper left by spine; there is a small bend at upper left and at lower right; the jacket back is basically clean with a couple of stains and no writing or stamps.  Tracks are "Lights Out", "Up", "Lorraine", "A Foggy Day", "Kerplunk", and "Inding". 

Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $8.00 priority mail within the continental U.S.; $16.00 regular airmail to the U.K., Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.  Additional LPs in a single package are $1.00 additional within U.S. and Canada, $2.00 elsewhere. For overseas shipments, registered mail is strongly recommended at $11.75 extra. Many old records are practically antiques and should be treated that way. This LP will be packaged with the record inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket; both are placed inside a sealed outer sleeve and shipped inside a special oversized handcrafted mailer with padding on all sides. It is designed thick enough not to be bent in transit and strong enough to withstand a drop from a second-story window. More than two LPs together may be mailed inside a heavy Bags Unlimited pizza-style box. Your LP should arrive in the same condition as on the day it was shipped. All used LPs are play-graded on a VPI turntable with Audioquest tonearm and Grado cartridge.
