Be sure to look at my other auctions!  I have many great titles for sale this week.


Artist: Gil Melle 
Title: Patterns In Jazz 
Label/Catalog #: Blue Note 1517
Mono/Stereo: Mono
Details:  First pressing. Lexington labels, deep groove, RVG, Ear. Flat edge disc and frame front cover. Ultrasonic cleaned. 


Record condition: Visually VG but well.  Visually there are light marks on both sides, some squiggly scratches on side 1. Play graded in full. The mentioned squiggles make some cyclical noise at times but not too loud. Most of side 1 plays an enjoyable VG with mild noise at times. Side 2 plays VG+, only some minor noise. Both sides have great clarity, a nice play copy overall. 

Cover:  VG+. A weaker VG+ but still better than VG. Age toning on back. Seams are in great shape with only a tiny spot of wear on lower corner. Quite nice, especially for it’s age. 

Labels: See photos
