Note:
In my humble opinion, this album is one of the most under-rated jazz albums of the late 1950s, a true hidden gem that is a must for any serious jazz collector.  If this were a Blue Note record, it would sell for ten times what it now does. 

Condition:
Cover looks nice, front lamination still has much of its original shine, no significant ring wear, just some light general rub.  Back looks generally clean, bone white, with the number "125" written in the top middle (see photo).  Spine is nice, intact, titles are nice, legible.  Top seam is completely split but closes together nicely--could be skillfully repaired if you wish.  Bottom seam has the beginning of a small separation in bottom right corner near open end.  Overall, though, the cover presents very nicely. 
Grade: Very Good (VG).

Vinyl is very nice, still has its original shine.  No apparent scratches or scuffs, just some light, superficial signs of having been taken out of inner sleeve a couple times.  Labels are clean, no marks around spindle holes, indicating little previous play.  Looks like this records has been played maybe once or twice but handled very carefully.  When played in the recommended Mono Mode, the sound quality is excellent.
Grade: Near Mint (NM).
