Condition: 

DISC:  VG++ to EXCELLENT, with 100% of original gloss.   Exceptionally fine condition for a flat-edge Lexington Avenue Blue Note.  A few small, slight hairline scuffs that may produce an occasional isolated soft tic but nothing more – no heavy marks, no distractions, no pops, no clicks, no surface noise.   Listening experience is excellent.  Fidelity is superb.  Labels are very clean, only a few traces of tape residue and a couple visible light spindle trail marks. 

JACKET:   VG+ with some minor signs of wear and handling, but still quite presentable.   Minor surface wear is noticeable on the white portions of the front panel, but not overly pronounced.  Wear is also evident along seams and spine, including a 2” split at top right, and chipping across majority of top seam.  Bottom right corner has a small bend, and top right corner is noticeably bumped.  Reverse panel is clean and white with no writing, stickers, or staining. 

From our personal collection – this is about as nice as it gets!

PLANNING A VISIT TO THE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON AREA?

 If so, please consider a visit to my booth (Booth 002, down stairs) at the ANTIQUE DEPOT antique mall in historic ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND (3720 Maryland Avenue, just off Main Street at the north end of town – open every day of the year except Christmas and Thanksgiving) for some excellent bargain-priced LPs and 45’s. 

Also, I regularly set up at the monthly ARBUTUS RECORD & TAPE EXPO at the Arbutus Fire Hall on Southwestern Boulevard, Baltimore ~ usually held on the 3rd Sunday – but it’s always good to check and confirm).  If you let me know ahead of time of your interests, I will do my best to bring a few extra goodies for your consideration.

Thank you for viewing my auction, and good luck with your bids!
