WORD JAZZ
.
.DOT Records DLP 3075
Original 1957 issue • MONO LP
SIGNED by KEN NORDINE • 1st PRESSING
Original inner sleeve included

VINYL is VG(+)
Deep Groove pressing has scattered light scratches/scuffs; nothing major or deep. One feelable pinhead-size scuff that causes short minor tic. Otherwise nothing more than occasional low background noise - so: LOOKS VG - PLAYS VG+. Clean Deep Groove labels have spindle marks but no other blemishes or wear.
.
COVER is VG
Very clean, vivid, bright front cover with KEN NORDINE SIGNATURE (he enclosed it in a word balloon over the central artwork character). Frankly though, this is a carefully restored cover that had bonehead bad tape on bottom seam - painstakingly and carefully removed. Split beneath now nicely, very cleanly, closed with single thin, strong strip of clear archival, acid free document repair tape. Stripe of darkening on back from the former tape and a small tan spot on back. Remains of former name label and faded ink on back, u.r. corner. Crease in l.r. corner.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG
