Hello there and welcome to my auction. Please read my descriptions carefully before you bid. Please make sure you read everything especially the condition of each vinyl. The grading and criteria are below.

This is an auction for:  Bill Evans Trio - Portrait in Jazz - RARE Original MONO Vinyl LP album from 1960.

Original UK pressing from 1960 on Riverside records.

MONO

Front laminated flip-back sleeve.

Catalogue Number: RLP 12-315

Matrix - Side 1 has 2L Stamped but lightly crossed out and 1L etched next to it. A correction at the pressing plant.

               Side 2 has 2L Stamped.

Vinyl Condition: Fair/G (Obviously this is an old record and it does have a number of surface marks and scratches. There are a lot of scratches however the record does play very well with no sticks or jumps. There are clicks pops and ticks and there are some places in the vinyl where light continuous clicks are heard as well as some loud audible clicks and pops. Overall I really enjoyed listening to this LP and I didn't mind the clicks. It added to the character of the great LP. This will NOT suit fussy collectors though).

Inner Sleeve Condition: Fair (Original inner is complete but does have some seam splits and rips. I have included a new polylined inner to protect the record).

Outer Sleeve Condition: G (Front laminated flip-back sleeve has some wear at the opening on the back where there are several rips and some fraying. Top right corner is a bit split. There is some corner wear and some yellowing to the back but no writing. Some lifting to the laminate. Overall good condition for its age).

I grade my vinyl’s as follows:

M = Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Unplayed and sealed records are referred to as Mint.

Ex = Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have minimal wear and/or creasing.

VG = Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.

G = Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

Fair = The record shows signs of extensive play and may have many marks and deep scratches but will still play ok but with significantly lower sound quality. Artwork will be rather worn with possible splits, small rips, scrapes, dents, or maybe water damage.

If you would like further information on sleeve or record condition then please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Please note: Due to the large amount of CD’s and records that I am selling, I don’t have time to include the track listings. If the track listing is important to you then please email me and I will send you the track list.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR POSTAGE ADDRESS IS UP TO DATE AND CORRECT BEFORE BIDDING.

Cheers and happy bidding.
