Be sure to look at my other auctions!  I have many great titles for sale this week.


Artist: Tina Brooks 
Title: True Blue 
Label/Catalog #:  Blue Note BLP 4041
Mono/Stereo: Mono
Details:  Rare and coveted, first pressing! West 63rd labels, deep groove, RVG, Ear. Ultrasonic cleaned. 


Record condition:  Visually the vinyl is VG but plays VG++! Great player. Visually there is light sleeve wear and a few light marks, nothing is remotely deep. Play graded in full. This plays VG++ almost entirely. I heard some very light ticks during the piano solo on track one. Otherwise there’s only the slightest noise heard on a very seldom occasion,  playing cleanly with beautiful sonic clarity. Will please nearly all listeners, a fine copy of this classic! 

Cover: VG.  You can be the judge. A moisture stain along the lower portion of cover affects the front and back. The cover is still structurally sound, hardly any bending from water exposure. Lower seam is essentially unaffected, tiny wear on corners. Spine and top seam are in great shape, as is every spot not touched by water. Would be very clean if not for moisture stain. 

Labels: See photos
