Ike Quebec - Bossa Nova Soul Samba

Catalog # Blue Note - BLP 4114

1962 original USA Mono pressing. Both the Van Gelder stamp, as well as the "ear" are present on both sides of the dead wax which make this a 1962 original. The dead wax info on both sides is as follows...

Matrix / Runout (Side 1 runout etched): BNLP-4114.A, Matrix / Runout (Side 2 runout etched): BN-LP-4114-B Matrix / Runout (Both sides runout stamped): VAN GELDER P

Media = VG+. Both sides are super clean, shiny, and glossy. A few light angel hairs from storage that can only be seen under bright, direct light. This record is beautiful. Both sides play through without negative incidence; no significant noise, no pops, no skips. This is a wonderful listening experience!

Sleeve = VG. Light general wear, throughout. The laminate is still amazing throughout the front of the sleeve, except for one small spot on the right side on the spine which is visible in the pictures above. The back of the sleeve which is mostly white has very little discoloration, and the former owner "Ted Nye" decided to write his name in blue ball point pen on the back on the top right hand side. All in all a nice cover, with some very small imperfections. Still looks amazing when housed inside of a sleeve.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

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.
