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

Format: 12" 33rpm lp
Artist: John Coltrane 
Title: A Love Supreme 
Label/Catalog #: Impulse A-77
Mono/Stereo: Mono 
Details:   A rarely seen first mono pressing with no suffix on labels. Van Gelder stamp. Comes with an Impulse inner sleeve. This lp has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition: Visually VG but plays much better! Play graded in full. Side 1 begins with some light surface noise, and some ticks are heard at the end of first track. The rest of side 1 plays EX. Side 2 plays EX up to the bass solo, which has some light ticks and briefly heard repetitive tick. The final passage plays VG+. Overall this makes a fine play copy. Visually this shows a high gloss with light marks and scratches, on the upper side of VG. 

Cover:  VG++. Not far from NM. Tiny laminate peeling on back, otherwise NM- with perfect seams. 

Labels: See photos

NM- THE RECORD SURFACE RETAINS A HIGH GLOSS, PERHAPS ONE OR TWO EXTREMELY FAINT MARKS, STILL EXTREMELY CLEAN 

EX   ESSENTIALLY A NM- SOUNDING COPY, BUT MIGHT SHOW A SMALL NUMBER OF VERY FINE SURFACE MARKS.  STILL VERY CLEAN VISUALLY AND DYNAMIC AUDIBLY.

VG++ THE RECORD RETAINS MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL SHINE, FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND OR LIGHT SCRATCHES MAY BE NOTED ON FAIRLY CLOSE EXAMINATION

VG+ THE RECORD STILL RETAINS SOME SHINE, SURFACE MARKS & SCRATCHES MAY OCCUR BUT ARE LIMITED AND TEND TO BE MODERATE TO LIGHT.  RECORD WILL PLAY VERY WELL WITH VERY LIGHT SURFACE NOISE MOSTLY HEARD DURING A QUIET PASSAGE.

VG  AVERAGE USED RECORD FROM HEAVY ROTATION, MAY HAVE STARTED TO LOSE ORIGINAL SHINE, SOME OBVIOUS SURFACE MARKS AND/OR SURFACE SCRATCHES WHICH MAY CAUSE SURFACE SOUNDS, ESPECIALLY IN SOFT PASSAGES
