Description
Thelonious Monk Volume One, on Blue Note 1510. Original issue with flat edge, deep groove, RVG and ear in dead wax, Lexington address on labels and back cover. Vinyl has full shine, only one spindle mark. VG+ shape, with some very light scratches and paper scuffs, all superficial. Disk has some light spotting, i.e., small visible spots that are not scratches or scuffs, and make no sound--presumably an artifact of the original pressing process or possibly stains from being in a plastic or rice paper sleeve for some years. In any case, they have no effect on the sound. Light-to-moderate wear to front cover, light wear to rear, tiny flake along spine, about an inch of wear to top seam at center, though it's not split. Very small tear out of very bottom of rear cover slick. No writing, holes, splits, etc. A very nice copy of this early Blue Note LP
I am currently selling an excellent batch of rare 50s and 60s jazz LPs, all in excellent shape, so check my other auctions.
GRADING

VG More marks and scratches, will have some surface noise, but still a playable record. Scratches may be fairly numerous, but will be light.
