Very rare jazz LP on the Impulse label: Charles Mingus - "Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus" (Cat. #A-54, Mono). The "Van Gelder" markings are in the deadwax. This is the original orange-and-black label version.

PLAY GRADED, as this is from my personal collection. The LP is graded at VG++: There are a few aesthetic marks that have no affect on play, and certainly nothing I can feel with a fingertip pass. It plays with negligible background noise, and sometimes non at all. There is one area that causes a minor click for about 8 rotations on side 2. The laminated gatefold jacket is in NM condition. It is borderline perfect save for a drill hole on the bottom left.

Grading scale: M (never used), NM, VG++ (same as EX), VG+, VG, VG-, G+, G. The goal is that a VG LP will be acceptable to most listeners, and a VG+  LP will be acceptable to all but the pickiest of collectors.

From a smoke-free and animal-free environment!
