THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. Very Rare.

*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a Near Mint, looks and plays great.

Record Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. The vinyl is in beautiful condition. It was not played or handled very much. Just listened to both sides of the whole album and it plays beautiful, no interuptions, a great record. There are a few surface scratches from regular use that may cause minor surface noise but not much. Amazing condition and quality. Shiny vinyl. Difficult to find this rare vintage record in such great condition. (see pictures) 

Jacket Grade VG  = Shiny, clean, well maintained. No staining. We grade the jacket a VG+.  We put clear tape on top right corner at entry point to protect small seem split at entry point. Bottom left corner of jacket has dent. No major defects at all, just normal use wear. This record is from our personal collection. Original purchase price sticker on back "$3.00" and a faint stamp on front says "March 8 1958", barely visible. A very clean jacket for a 60 year old album. We have kept it in plastic for the last 58 years. (see pictures)
