Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch  Blue Note BST 84163
1964 Original Stereo Pressing 
Matrix/Runout Side A: (ETCHED) BNST-84163 (STAMPED) VANGELDER STEREO P (EAR) Matrix/Runout Side B: (ETCHED) BNST-84163 (STAMPED) VANGELDER STEREO P (EAR)
Visual Grading: Vinyl: Side A: VG Vinyl: Side B:  VG+ Cover: Fair
Play Grading VG to VG- both sides
Play graded on my Marantz 6300 but I will say I am due for a new stylus so that could contribute to my lower playgrading.
Both sides have several light scuffs/marks nothing feelable, Side A has a large light scuff I tried to take a picture of, it kinda shows up.  there was a fair bit of crackling in quieter spots, a few ticks but I did not catch any loud pops.
Spin Cleaned then VPI Cleaned as well.
The cover has seen better days, very dirty, bottom seam taped with black electrical tape, top seam starting to split, it's about 2 inches long, spine intact but starting to fray at both the top and bottom, name partially legible... it houses the record as it should but has heavy wear hence the "fair" grade I've given it.
This is a rare OG pressing that's still got some good play life left to it compared to others I've seen.
This will ship Media Mail, Insured, Signature Required and will be packaged properly, I ship out about 10,000 records a year from my retail and online store so I promise it will be packaged well for the trip to you.
