First pressing of Alice Coltrane's legendary Journey In Satchidananda! The record and jacket are just shy of real VG. Most of the record plays with VG to strong VG fidelity, few very light marks, sounds great. There is a tiny but deep nick on track 2 side 1 that creates a few pops and a long scratch on side 2 that creates some rotational clicks from the end of track 1 a little bit into track 2. The long scratch on side 2 isn't horribly obtrusive, but it is there. I took a bunch of pictures of the record to show the blemishes: the scratch doesn't begin to sound until later in the track, after Pharoah Sanders' solo and gets a bit more intense towards the end of the track and then subsides back down gradually. Overall, a passable original player copy if you don't want to break the bank.
Jacket actually doesn't have any seams splits, spine is legible, but it has just too much shelf wear and corner chipping to be VG. There is light waving from moisture, just lightly noticeable.
Record grade: VG-/G+ Jacket grade: VG-/G+
