Up for sale is amazingly clean copy of Sonny Rollins ‎– Worktime. It's an early pressing with the 446 W. 50th address and RVG stamp on both sides. (see photos for details). 
Vinyl is a (visual) M-. Some paper scuffs and light hairlines. Still very glossy.
Cover is M-. Very clean, little to no visible wear. Original rice paper inner sleeve. (see photos for details).

I play-graded this one:
Side 1 plays and sounds amazing. Song 1 - there are some light ticks audible in very quiet parts. Track 2 -  has some slightly louder ticks in  quiet sections. Track 3 - track 2 ticks continue through beginning track 3 but are only audible in the quiet beginning part, plays pretty clean once it gets going. No loud pops or clicks.
Side 2 sounds amazing as well. Song 1 - there are very few, very light, ticks audible in very quiet parts. Track 2 - plays clean. No loud pops or clicks.
From a collection I recently purchased from an 83-year old record collector. His record shelves had plexi-glass doors in front of them which explains the amazing condition of the sleeves. He also took incredibly good care of the records. Follow my listings for more M-, mono Blue Note, Prestige, Pacific Jazz, Verve, Contemporary and Riverside LPs I'll be listing in the coming days.
