Kenny Dorham, Jazz Contrasts, on Riverside 1105.  Deep-groove stereo issue.  A-side is nice VG+, with a couple of short fingernail scuffs that don't sound.  B-side is strong VG, has one longer fingernail scuff and a few, thin, very light scratches, though they don't click or pop.  Both sides play wonderfully, with great fidelity and minimal surface noise.  Front cover is very clean, with a little soiling along the upper-left edge.  Rear cover has some light staining along the opening edge, and another light stain at top center.  Good seams, with a little wear (but no missing paper or splitting) along the spine.  Overall, a very nice copy that plays extremely well.

Grading

MINT-  Perfect or virtually perfect.  

VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record

VG  Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise

VG-  Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay

G  Rough record
