Review by Bob Rusch
What separated this from the average good Bill Evans date was the inclusion of Shelly Manne on drums, who inventively pushed and took unexpected chances. This was, I believe, Eddie Gomez' (bass) debut release with Evans (piano) and it was quite impressive. There were numerous takes at this session and judging from Chuck Briefer's liners it might be interesting to hear them released.

GATEFOLD COVER STOCK WITH LIGHT RUB AND RING WEAR AND AGE DISCOLORATION. CORNERS WITH SMALL ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES ON POINT. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.

VIRGIN SPINDLE HOLE SIDE A. SIDE B HOLE WITH SOME WEAR MARKS AROUND EDGE. THE HIGH LUSTER VINYL BLANK AT FIRST GLANCE OUT OF THE SLEEVE APPEARS UNUSUALLY PRISTINE AND TO HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED, MUCH LESS TOUCHED, BEFORE NOW. UNDER BRIGHT ANGLED LIGHT AND ASSIDUOUS EXAMINATION A FEW LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS AND OR PAPER SLEEVE STORAGE IMPRESSIONS.WE'VE TEST PLAYED THIS LP ON A VPI TURNTABLE WITH A GRADO REFERENCE ONE WOOD CARTRIDGE WITHOUT NOTICE OF THE ABOVE ITEMS AND SOUNDING QUITE FINE HERE.

⁂PLEASE NOTE THE VINYL DESCRIPTION IS ONLY A VISUAL INSPECTION UNLESS OTHERWISE MENTIONED. HERE IS A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR GRADING SYSTEM AND SUPERSEDES ANY OTHER GRADING SYSTEM, INCLUDING GOLDMINE: ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED AND THE RED GRADE ABOVE REFERS ONLY TO THE APPEARANCE OF THE VINYL BLANK. COVER CONDITION IS NOTED SEPARATELY. ANYTHING BESIDES MINT OR MINT MINUS IS USUALLY TEST PLAYED AND THE RESULTS ARE FOUND IN THE LISTING. MINT INDICATES PRISTINE VINYL WITHOUT ANY MARKS ON THE VINYL BLANK. MINT MINUS MAY CONTAIN A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS FROM HANDLING & SLEEVE WEAR OR A FEW PLAYS. IF YOU ARE A REAL VINYL AFICIONADO AND COLLECTOR YOU'LL KNOW THAT EVEN A FACTORY SEALED LP OCCASIONALLY HAS SOME LIGHT RUB OR SLEEVE MARKS FROM TRANSPORT AND SHELVING. ANYTHING IN THE VG CATEGORY WOULD CONTAIN SOME LIGHT AND FINE SURFACE PLAY LINES AND EVIDENCE OF PLAY WEAR THAT IS EASILY SEEN. SELDOM IS ANYTHING OFFERED IN THE "G" STATE.
