Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers & Thelonious Monk
Catalog # Atlantic 1278
Original 1958 Mono deep groove 1st pressing.
Media = VG. Wax has some sleeve press marks from 62 years of storage; these would probably come out after a serious deep clean. A few light marks throughout that cannot be felt with a fingertip. An average original play copy who just wants a decent one to spin regularly. Plays fantastically, without any skips, and is a VG+ listen front to back.
Sleeve = VG. General wear throughout. Discoloration on the back of the mostly white sleeve. No writing, no splits, and still presents very, very well. Scope out the pics!
All lps are visually graded only unless specifically stated.
I grade using Goldmine Standards.
I use brand new mailers, sleeves, and inserts to make sure your record lands your way in the same shape it was sent out in.
Rest assured, I know how to package, as well as how to accurately grade an LP. Please check my feedback if that is something you’re worried about.
