Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition vinyl LP and a classic album and AUDIOPHILE 1984 issue on the Blue Note Records label featuring an all-time classic recording by tenor saxophonist JOE HENDERSON titled "Mode for Joe"--the septet recording features supporting musicians LEE MORGAN on trumpet, CURTIS FULLER on trombone, BOBBY HUTCHERSON on vibraphone, CEDAR WALTON on piano, RON CARTER on bass, and JOE CHAMBERS on drums.  The LP is a 1984 Blue Note Records issue with the serial number BST-84227 and a STEREO issue using the Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) process and was made in France for Manhattan Records.
This LP is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT condition and plays beautifully, with a couple of slight paper scuffs that do not affect play and NO other significant imperfections (THIS LP HAS BEEN SOUND GRADED IN ITS ENTIRETY AND SOUNDS FANTASTIC!); the cover is in NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition with a few tiny astericks next to titles on the back surface, light wear on the edges and very slight dings on the opening tips but NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout!  The ORIGINAL BLUE NOTE RECORDS INNER SLEEVE is also included and in beautiful shape with a small piece of transparent tape on the center of the lower edge but NO other significant flaws! 
Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
