Over the next few days I will be listing some incredible and cherished jazz pieces from my personal collection. 


First we have Johnny Griffin's 1956 debut for Blue Note. Original Mono pressing with Lexington address, RVG, Ear, and Deep Groove. 


The vinyl is clean and glossy for the most part and the labels are beautiful. Surface noise is at an absolute minimum, even during the quiet moments. If I was forced to give a strict overall grade it would be a classic VG+ or higher at moments. Keeping in mind I've never ran it through a VPI. I'm assuming the winner of the auction will have their own preferred cleaning method. There are light marks and minimal scratches so I will give a full play by play grade of the entire album. The grooves are strong so the playback is really clear. Truly an incredible listening experience. I'm a collector first and foremost so grading is an area I take seriously. To me EX means zero problems whatsoever, VG+ means the standard lovely listening experience, and VG means there is a sound you will hear aside from the audio source. In this case I personally do not consider any of it to distract too heavily from the performance. 


Side 1 


1. VG+/EX 

2. VG/VG+ (a few clicks and pops from light but feel-able scratches)

3. VG+ (a few very light surface noise moments)

4. EX/VG+


Side 2 


1. VG+/VG (some clicks from one light feel-able scratch and a small nick) 

2. EX/VG+ 

3. VG+/EX


Due to the specialty of this item I'm more than happy to answer any questions or FaceTime to share audio playback or any in depth look into the record itself. 


Hopefully the photos can explain the sleeve condition better than words. Minimal wear - the bottom edge having the most.
