Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers: Blues March, JAPAN FONTANA 1961(?) FON-4009 MONO LP. ALL LIVE RECORDINGS, maybe from Japan (where Blakey were on several occasions in 60-61). TRACKS: Moanin' (13.11), Blues March (5.46), No Problem (7.21), Night In Tunesia (7.06). This extremely rarely seen (if ever?) Japan 10" LP is in about VG+ condition, please READ it all. Side 2 plays EXCELLENT all the way, no problems to mention, sounds is awesome, Side 1 has a light scratch (hardly feelable) that causes many clicks in diff. places. Firstly some light clicks in the intro, maybe 30-40 seconds, then later, when the music comes down, there are some tics for a 1 and a 1/2 minute or so. You only hear this scracth in the quiet moments. Overall sound is great. Besides this scratch the LP has a few light inaudible marks. Cover has a 2 inch split back spine (upper and lower spines are perfect) and is graded VG+. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER COPE OF THIS BEFORE or found evidence of this anywhere on the net! VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: due to holiday plans buyer is expected to pay with PAYPAL BEFORE Janurary 5th, 2006. - or email me to make special arrangements. Cash payment is possible, but email me first.

GRADINGS: I have ten years of experience of selling vintage vinyl. I aim at selling top quality LPs only. Gradings are on the M/ EX/VG+/VG scale. I will rarely I sell LPs less than VG+.

MINT- is superb, almost like new. No marks, scratches, clicks, noise, or anything else.

EX is also VERY nice, 2-3 light marks perhaps, no disturbing noise, great sound quality.

VG+, a nice player, but probably has some visual impairments, and some clicks or light noise in places; always see the individual description.

VG: Rarely put of for sale, an ok copy, but always see the individual description.

PLAYGRADING: There's no guessing about condition from visual look. The visual look of a record is very important, but it only tells part of the truth. Therefore I playgrade and carefully check all my offered LPs.
