Lovey copy of the original 1964 first pressing of Sinatra's It Might As Well Be Swing LP with Count Basie, with arrangements by Quincy Jones, on Reprise mono F-1012. Original 3-tone "serious Frank" label. The disc is in excellent condition except that there is a very slight warp which doesn't generally affect the play, except that there is a slight faint "swish" at the very beginning of each side, but it is barely noticeable once the music starts. And it is only at the very beginning of each side, only the first several seconds. The rest of the record plays flawlessly and just beautifully. The cover is nearly perfectly pristine. This is really a lovely copy; I would be surprised if anyone were at all disappointed. I reduced the price a lot for the imperfection, but it really isn't a big deal.
