WARNING:

The following album came from a collection 

from a person who was an avid Jazz collector 

and VERY serious about taking care of his records!!!

More will be listed… Keep watching!!!

Up for bids is a great, rare, mono Jazz LP by Donald Byrd called "Byrd's Word". Savoy Records. MG 12032. 1956.
RARE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING!

DEEP GROOVE PRESSING!

Both sides' Trail-Off's have the etched "RVG"!
Front of cover is laminated.
Record's edges are raised.
Comes with Audio Fidelity Records plastic inner sleeve.

NOTE:

The grades I use are Mint (rarely used grade), Near Mint, VG+++ (rarely used grade), VG++, VG+, VG, VG Minus, Good+, Good, Fair and Poor.

Cover is a VG Minus condition. Front is nice with some light wear. Back of cover has some wear and browning by the edges. Top, bottom and spine all have tape across them. Looks like the top and part of the spine may have had splitting, so the previous owner took no chances and taped the other edges. Not the best tape job either (Just being honest folks!). Bottom corner at opening has a ding. Still a strong and sturdy cover in its present state.

I would rate the record’s condition as a STRONG VG+ to VG++. Looks gorgeous with some visual superficial marks that do not greatly affect play. Some surface noise as well, but not much wear at all! Record sounds so amazing on my player! GOD BLESS BLUE NOTE & VAN GELDER!

Makes a great gift for any Donald Byrd fan!
