Dinah Washington “In The Land…” RARE EMARCY 1st PRESS DG MONO FEM JAZZ VOX LP

Artist: Dinah Washington Title: In The Land Of Hi-Fi Label: Emarcy (MG-36073) Year:  1956
Condition:  Vinyl - VG++ Cover - VG++
Description:  Rare very first issue on Emary from 1955 in suprisingly strong condition.  The vinly is VG+ / VG++ with super clean labels with the correct “Hal Mooney And His Orchestra” credit on both sides (later pressings had two different credits on opposing sides).  Disc plays and sounds beautifully.  Cover is VG++ with strong seams showing a beautiful patina - many of the Emarcy LPs of this era have suffered from oxidation on the jacket covers, this one is in surprisingly strong shape, just minor foxing from its 65 years of age.

BIDDERS - PLEASE READ THE BELOW 
I grade my LPs VERY conservatively and accurately under a bright light.  A description of the grading scale is below:
M: MINT - perfect.  vinyl is pristine / cover is flawless and/or sealed
M- : just under mint.  a very, very slight amount of wear on the cover or inaudible wear on the vinyl (surface wear from age, generally) but is otherwise flawless
VG+: vinyl / cover shows signs minor signs age or wear that are more or less undistinct / inaudible.
VG: vinyl / cover shows some visible wear / age but is overall in very good shape.  pops and clicks may be ever so slightly noticeable, but don't effect play or overall listening experience.
VG-: vinyl / cover shows some relatively apparent age but is in overall good shape and still a fine copy to own / play.  
G+: vinyl shows some heavy wear but overall sounds decent.  cover has some flaws or shows much age
G: vinyl is in pretty rough shape visibly but plays ok.  cover shows a lot of age or has some major splits or tears.  
G-: vinyl looks / sounds pretty rough.  cover has major condition issues such as water damage, large rips, etc
*a double "+" or "-" indicates that the condition is just above or below the neighboring grade
