Not an original, but a nice player for sure. Has 47 West 63rd NYC non-DG labels both sides, RVG stamps in dead wax, no ears. I would play grade it at a strong VG+ with very light intermittent surface noise and a few random (mostly unobtrusive) ticks. Sounds great, still exhibits that nice Blue Note fidelity. One of the best albums by arguably the best incarnation of the legendary Messengers. Contains three compositions and great playing by a young Wayne Shorter--'nuff said. PLEASE check all the pics, and don't hesitate to email me with any questions. Good Luck!
