More about Vertinsky here:
"Alexander Nikolayevich Vertinsky (Russian: ?????????? ??????????? ??????????? , 21 March 1889 in Kiev — 21 May 1957 in Leningrad) was a Russian and Soviet artist, poet, singer, composer, cabaret artist and actor who exerted seminal influence on the Russian tradition of artistic singing."
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Vertinsky
and here:
"Alexander Vertinsky is certainly the pride and soul of Russian musical culture, whose gift appears to withstand anything. When Vertinsky, who had emigrated from Russia during the Soviet revolution, asked the authorities for permission to come back during World War II, the horrible dictator strangely feeling some interest in the artist’s songs, allowed him to return and even let him perform on stage."

Using the Goldmine standards for sound and appearance, I would rate this record a VG. There is lots of shine on the vinyl and only minor surface scratches. A professional cleaning may enhance this record overall quality.
Shipping will be by media mail with delivery confirmation. Priority mail is an option upon request and at an additional cost.
