RECORD GRADING (see photos) :

This is a RARE original 1st press copy in beautiful condition !

Cover : EXC+ (VG++)

Very very close to NM ! Splendid laminated cover extremely well preserved.

Actually NM condition except for back cover with slight foxing at top and 2 stamps. The front cover, the slices and the corners are perfect ! Just the normal discoloration at the location of the safety notch (for remind the notch is visible at top center of the cover).

No doubt it is a fantastic cover !

Blue Note inner sleeve : YES

Superb condition !

Audio : EXC+ (VG++)

The sound quality is great and impressive !

NO skips ; NO clicks ; NO distortion ; NO background noise.

SIDE 1 (details) :

--- Track 1 : superb ! just few very small surface noise that DO NOT compete at all with the music.

--- Track 2 : same comment as for Track 1

--- Track 3 : same comment as for Track 1

SIDE 2 (details) :

--- Track 1 : some small cracklings but the music still dominates of course ! Not really surprising as it is the ballad of the recording session.

--- Track 3 : superb ! just few very small surface noise that DO NOT compete at all with the music.
