Description
Seldom seen in UK auctions is this beautiful ORIGINAL UK PRESSING of Roland Kirk's hard bop classic, Rip, Rig & Panic (SLML 4015), with an absolutely towering set of support players rounding out the quartet. resulting in some exploratory jazz fireworks. I have fully play-tested the vinyl, so my grading is based on how the record actually sounds, as well as how it looks.
Vinyl is graded in Excellent condition, with no obvious marks on the record (beyond a few surface hairlines which I've captured in the last photo) - this one appears to have been very lightly played. Having played the album in full, there is no discernible extraneous noise beyond the odd crackle on the run-in, and is another exceptionally well-recorded album by Rudy Van Gelder.
The cover is also graded Excellent, being in impeccable condition, structurally sound and with only some light discolouring around the edge of the back cover.
An all-round great album in lovely condition.

Note that I separate the vinyl from the outer sleeve for postage to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me, and in the way I'd like to receive them.
All items are play-tested throughout, and I strive to be comprehensive and fair in grading descriptions. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to help.
