Up for sale is my copy of Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder. This is a first pressing from 1964 with NY address on the labels and the "vangelder" stamp in the runoff. The vinyl looks excellent! It is as close to NM as you can get. There are only a couple of extremely faint marks and they are very small in size. Lots of gloss still on this one. I do not playgrade my records, just visual grading. I do not have a turntable anymore (hence selling my collection).
The sleeve has residue from an old price tag in the upper left-hand side of the front and a bit of discoloration in the lower left-hand corner of the back. Each of these imperfections are visible in the photos. There is NO ring wear or splitting. Sturdy cardboard. If you have any questions or would like more photos, reach out. This is the one to have by Morgan! Includes Joe Henderson in the lineup. Absolute jazz classic.
I am not a professional seller, just a long time collector who has decided to sell them all off. Be sure to check my other listings for lots more classic Jazz, blues, classic rock, indie and more all on vinyl. I will ship wrapped in bubble wrap and in a LP mailer. Happy bidding!
