ITEM

• Hank Mobley Quartet
• TRUE ORIGINAL Blue Note 10" LP in stunning condition!
• Lexington Ave double-sided deep groove label with RVG etch and "P"/ear
• This record comes from a relative's personal collection and saw very little play. Vinyl is a strong VG+. Plays beautifully overall with superb fidelity and just a few spots of brief noise (not consistent noise - just a rotation where you'll hear a quick tic). There are a few light scuffs at the intro to both side A and B. They sound lightly on side B for several rotations and then drop out and the rest of the side plays wonderfully. Otherwise, visually, just a few short, scattered hairlines each side, nothing close to feelable.
• Sleeve is VG+ with a 1" bottom center split and some additional light wear at bottom. No other splits - spine is tight. Light top right corner ding and gentle rub to bottom right corner
• Comes with rare original "The Blue Note Story" glossy paper insert!
• Pains me to part with this, but it's time for someone else to enjoy it. There is a reserve set on this that reflects typical sale prices of this gem. If you're a serious bidder I hope you'll understand this.

VINYL GRADING SYSTEM. We will always describe a record to the best of our ability. Check our feedback for comments from satisfied customers. At the same time, we know record grading can be tricky and a matter of personal opinion. Therfore, if we ever fail to meet your expectations, please don't leave a frustrated feedback - just contact us BEFORE leaving feedback and we WILL make it right!

• NM = A record that all but the most particular collectors would say looks essentially perfect.

VG+ = Record surfaces will show signs that it was played and carefully handled by a previous owner that took good care of it, kept it in its sleeve, etc. Record will typically still retain a nice gloss and may or may not show a minimal/light amount of surface scuffing and/or light non-feelable marks, sleeve scuffs or "hairlines" that should have little to no adverse affect one's listening pleasure. VG = Record will have a fair-to-moderate amount of surface scuffs and/or non-feelable or very lightly feelable marks that might affect the sound as frequent or occasional surface noise or occasional clicks, but that does not overpower the music. A VG record is tyipcally still a very strong playing copy. VG- = Record will show heavier wear including noticeable groove wear and feelable marks that will likely pop or click. VG- records are refundable but please keep in mind that at the VG- level you're going to start to see some worn records. Good = Record can play through without skipping (though it may skip). It will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. Good records are sold as-is. Poor = This record is shot. We will only sell this if it's very rare or collectible, or if the sleeve has value as well. Poor records are sold as-is.

We will also sometimes put additional pluses or minuses (i.e. VG++) if a record is on the line between the grade below or above it.
