This is one felicitous Blue Note original we have never stocked before. The pasted sleeve has no seam splits at all or any writing & is simply as good as it gets. Some very faint discolouring to the panels is unavoidable & there is still a lovely sheen to the front. The yellow remains strikingly vivid & all text is clearly legible with no blemishes to stand in its way. Fantastic!

The labels have no writing or tears & the UK tax import sticker is intact on the second side. There are spindle marks by the centre hole to highlight past action on the turntable. The deep groove & Lexington address is present both sides. This was released before the label became an incorporated company & registered trademark meaning there is no INC or R lettering after Blue Note on the labels. There is a distinct flat edge.

The Rudy Van Gelder initials RVG & the ear logo are both etched into the runoff area. The matrices like the ear are hand scratched. A combination of Van Gelders sound engineering & Plastylite pressing is well & truly the golden age of highest quality Blue Note pressings. We really should be putting these in our audiophile store!

The vinyl is incredibly clean with no scratches or anything that would upset play. It has received a deep cleanse on a top of the range Matrix machine. The quality of heavyweight Blue Note vinyl pressings from this period is unsurpassed & playback is immense with just the lightest bit of surface detectable during the quieter sections & at the start. This is a very pleasing VG++ example. A fine play copy of an ultra rare original & at a more affordable price than a mint one. On mono setting playback this one is sooooooo good!
