JOHN COLTRANE A LOVE SUPREME RARE ORIGINAL 1965 IMPULSE STEREO LP.  Van Gelder stamped in trail off vinyl (Dead Wax).  The vinyl and cover are between VG and VG+.   The record has some surface noise (pops and clicks) which can generally be heard when the music is soft. Visually the vinyl has scuffs and some light scratches but with good luster.  As can be seen in the photos, the cover has some wear and imperfections.  The laminate does show some light shelf wear.  There is a bit of corner wear/bumping.  On the front cover there are some marks on the laminate near the spine and a small area where the laminate is lifting a bit.  On the back of the cover along the opening there is edge wear and the laminate has worn and/or lifted in a few spots. There is also a seam split in the middle (about 2 inches) and in the corner (about an inch) on the bottom seam.  The inside of the gatefold looks fine. 

Please check my other auctions and those to come.
