Up for sale is this copy of Clifford Jordan's Memorial album on the Blue Note label BLP1525 .      
The record has the deep groove on both sides, with Blue Note Lexington address on each label. Rudy Van Gelder's RVG is hand etched into the dead wax, and the Playstilite "Ear" is also present.
VINYL The vinyl is in very nice condition and the music is bright and loud, however there are a few bubbles present on both sides of the vinyl. I have done my best to try and show these in the photo's. I do not know if these were original pressing bubbles or otherwise. You can hear when the needle passes over them so they do affect the playback of the music. In my opinion they do not overwhelm the music, but others might not agree. The vinyl playback is otherwise good and has a nice gloss sheen to it. There are no feel-able scratches or hairlines present, only handling marks from fingers are what I could see, so the vinyl could do with a good clean. 
Vinyl grades VG.
  COVER 
The cover is nice and clean with a small piece of writing in the bottom right-hand corner on the back cover. There is a seam split on the top seam from the start of the spine to approximately halfway across. There is an approximately 1inch seam split on the bottom of the spine. The bottom seam is intact, but someone has placed a small piece of tape where they think a seam is starting to split, apart from the splits, the cover is actually in quite nice condition.
Cover grades VG
Shipping is $35.00 from New Zealand

Will be shipped safely in a record mailer, with the record outside the cover to protect the seams.  

Grading NM, VG++, VG+, VG, G, P
