JOHNNY GRIFFIN - VOLUME 2 - BLUE NOTE BLP 1559 (AKA - A BLOWING SESSION). THIS IS A RATHER SAD EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE CLASSIC BN'S FROM THE 1500 SERIES. THIS HAS THE (MOSTLY) STILL LAMINATED COVER AT "G" WITH A (LITERALLY) CHEWED-UP BRHC. THERE IS A 2" TOP SEAM SPLIT FROM THE OPENING IN. CHIPPING TO ALL THREE SEAMS. THERE IS A PIECE OF MASKING TAPE WITH A NAME WRITTEN AND THE SAME NAME WRITTEN ON THE B/C BELOW IT  (CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL DEFACING AN LP COVER, EH?). THE B/C SLICK IS MOSTLY INTACT, THE CHEWING MUCH LESS NOTICEABLE TO THE BACK. SOME TLC AND A PAIR OF SCISSORS MIGHT TAKE THIS COVER TO G+, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT AND WHY SPLIT HAIRS? THICK PRESS VINYL IS ALSO GRADED "G", IT HAS MANY MARKS AND SOME MEDIUM SCRATCHES BUT PLAYS THROUGH LIKE THE WARHORSE PRESSING IT IS. CLICKS AND POPS, A BIT OF SIZZLING, ET AL. WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE "G" GRADING TO THE LABELS, THERE ARE PLENTY OF FAIRLY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THIS IS A DOUBLE SIDED DG 47 WEST 63RD NEW YORK 23 COPTY WITH NO "R" MARKS, RVG HAND ETCHED AND THE EARS PRESENT. NO "9".  DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THIS LP WE HAVE UNDER GRADED IT AS SUCH SINCE WE PLACE LITTLE FAITH IN GRADES LESS THAN VG+. G, G+ AND VG ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME TO US AND WE DO NOT CONSIDER THEM COLLECTOR'S GRADES. THIS LP PLAYS OK AND MAY BE A PLACE HOLDER TO THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR, BUT IT IS A DECENT ENOUGH ORIGINAL PLAY COPY FOR THE MUSIC FAN. OUR RETURN GUARANTEE APPLIES OF COURSE.
