This is Blue Note Records BST 84179, Jackie McLean It's Time, a blue and white, New York USA label, original stereo issue of this classic record with Van Gelder and the ear (p) mark stamped in the dead wax. The record is in VG+(+) condition, (a very strong VG+),  showing some light sleeve marks and pressing discolorations on both sides but playing quietly. However, there is light groove wear audible in the middle of track 1 side 1 and very light crackle audible during the bass solo on track 3 and during some quiet parts of the ballad on side 2. These are all minor issues but should be mentioned. This is still a beautiful sounding copy. The cover, still in it's original shrink wrap, with the 43 West 61st St., New York 23, address and Printed In USA on the back, is excellent and intact. There is a slight warp on the upper right of the cover where the record doesn't reach. The labels are excellent and show only light spindle marks. An original inner sleeve is included as well. The record was cleaned on a VPI 17 and played on a Linn Sondek LP12, This is an excellent collector's grade copy of this beautiful original Blue Note issue with all the proper markers evident.
