Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is gorgeous NM-, a beauty!  The playing surface is immaculate, with a high luster, played a small number of times and handled with care.  Side One has tiny manufacturing “bubble” on first track which is very lightly audible for a few turns, tracks fine without skipping.  Otherwise entire disc both sides are impeccable NM.  Fidelity is superb.  Labels are clean and pristine.  Winning bidder will be quite pleased.

JACKET:  Jacket is nice VG+.  Front art work is nice and bright, with a few minor traces of ring/surface wear just beginning to appear near the bottom.  Reverse is clean and white, except where the original owner wrote “modern” neatly at the top right corner.  Would grade higher except for chipping along top seam and spine, and a piece of blue tape that was used to repair a split along the bottom seam.  Slight wear at top corners.   Despite these imperfections a very presentable jacket to accompany the superb disc.   

NOTE:  This album came from the estate of a gentleman who collected jazz albums for many years, many of which were autographed at performances he attended when the artist(s) appeared at clubs in the Washington, D.C., area. (This album is not signed). The owner prized his collection, played them sparingly, and stored them under the best conditions.
