ELLA FITZGERALD AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG LP 

ELLA AND LOUIS AGAIN 

MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS RECORDS # MFSL 2-248 

Factory sealed copy of this double record Original Master Recording LP.  The recordings are in Mono.  The cover has the unique Limited Edition number of #0525 on the back cover.  Both records are pressed on heavy weight 200 gram vinyl.  The thick perforated sealed outer sleeve has one hole in the plastic.  The cover is well preserved and the records inside are unplayed.

 

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.

With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting.

All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket (often automatically relegating it to a VG+ at best), we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark (thereby letting you know what it "really" looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner). LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.

GRADING DEFINITIONS:

MINT (M): Basically a perfect book   NEAR MINT (NM): Like new or newsstand condition, carefully read once or twice then put away, almost perfect; tight spine, flat and clean; just enough minor defects at close inspection to keep it out of the mint category. Could have a small flake of color missing at a staple, corner or edge or slight discoloration on the inside cover or pages. Cover has most of its original gloss, a few small spine bends are allowed if they do not break color. Most new comics are in this category when purchased.   VERY FINE (VF): Slight wear beginning to show; possibly a small wrinkle or crease at staples or where cover has been opened a few times; still clean flat with most of the cover gloss retained. Slight yellowing or minor bump at a corner accepted.   FINE (FN): Tight cover with some wear, but still relatively flat, clean and shiny with no subscription crease or tape repairs, only minor writing allowed on cover (ex. Initials) A few stress lines around staples and along spine are beginning to show; small corner fold or crease, minor color flaking possible at spine, staples, edges or corners. Moderate yellowing accepted.   VERY GOOD (VG): Obviously a read copy with original cover gloss almost gone; some tanning but not soiled; some signs of wear and minor markings but none that deface the cover; usually needs slight repair around staples and along spine which can be rolled; cover could have a minor tear or subscription crease staples could show signs of rust; no chunks missing. This grade comic is still a solid collectible copy.   GOOD (GD): A below average copy complete with both covers (although cover may be detached) and no panels missing; coupon may be missing as long as it does not affect the story. Moderately soiled or stained or marked with an accumulation of possible creases minor tears or splits, rolled spine, rusty staples and color flaking, but perfectly sound and legible. Minor tape repairs can occur and some browning (although not brittle) acceptable.   FAIR (FR): Very heavily read and soiled, but complete; cover can have pieces missing, tears, multiple folds and wrinkles. Spine may be partially split. Book could have a missing centerfold or page if the comic still has other complete stories. Book may be damaged by the elements but still completely sound and readable.   POOR (PR): Heavily damaged to the point that the book is no longer collectible, a reader or filler copy until it can be replaced.   (Keep in mind that a comic book may have a peculiar combination of defects and wear which may prompt the condition to be lower or higher than the typical grade assigned. These type of defects will usually be noted in the description of that particular comic book, especially if it is a higher grade.)

Vinyl Grading and Abbreviation Guide

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.   With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting. Upon request, we will give your sealed LP's the same treatment.   All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket (often automatically relegating it to a VG+ at best), we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark (thereby letting you know what it "really" looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner). LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.   SS (Still Sealed) Unopened records, still in original shrink wrap. In original manufactured condition unless otherwise noted (i.e. evidence of mildew or bent corners, etc.) The Great Escape does not sell re-sealed records. If we have ANY suspicion that a sealed record is a re-seal or has sustained significant damage, we open it for inspection and grading!
M (Mint) The record and sleeve are in perfect, original condition. The record may have been played but will have no evidence of deterioration.
NM (Near Mint) A nearly perfect record. Any visible defects are of the type that "disappear" when the record is tilted under a strong light and they should not affect play. Sleeves in near mint condition will have no obvious signs of wear. Practically imperceptible ring wear may be allowed but no creases, seam-splits, or other easily detected flaws will be present.
EX (Excellent) A very clean record. Near mint except for slight, superficial signs of wear. Sleeves in this condition may have marginal defects, but will not have significant creases or splits.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) A well-cared-for record that is noticeably less than perfect, but defects are not visually or audibly distracting. Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or light scratches, but are still primarily clean. Sleeves may have some creases or minor ring wear, but should not be split.
VG (Very Good) A used, reasonable copy to play. Many of the defects found in a VG+ copy will be more pronounced in VG condition. Surface noise may be evident and sleeves may look worn, but the record is still a decent copy.
G (Good) A well-worn record that is still playable. Good does not necessarily mean "bad" but a record in this condition will have audible distractions and may have visible groove wear. Sleeves may have all manner of defects, but are still intact.
FA (Fair) and P (Poor) These grades are for beat-up records. We only sell records in these grades if they are extremely rare and sought-after.
