Description
For sale is a superior OG example of rare jazz lp Sonny Rollins Plus 4. OG promotional (stamped "Not For Sale" on back cover) example, 446 W. 50th address on label, 447 W. 50th "Free catalog" address on back cover. Deep groove, RVG etched in dead wax (see photos for dead wax Matrix numbers).
Condition:
Light wear in the upper right and lower right corners (see photos) if looking at front cover just barely bring this down from NM to VG++. Vinyl plays NM, but looks VG++ owing to a non-feelable scuff on "Pent-Up-House." Call it a safe VG++. Outstanding fidelity and beautifully clean in the louder and softer passages. Retains its original glassine inner sleeve, with three-inch seam split on left side.
My grading system:
STILL SEALED : Jacket imperfections, if any, will be described. Vinyl guaranteed to be in unplayed condition.
M : I don't use this grade, on the assumption that no record or jacket is truly flawless.
M- : Vinyl appears unplayed, jacket bears no signs of wear. I rarely, if ever, use this grade.
NM : Like M-, with possible scintilla/whiff of an imperfection
VG++ : May have a couple very minor imperfections. (superficial marks that have little or no bearing on sound.) Jacket may have a couple very minor flaws.
VG+ : Like VG++, but with a few more light imperfections
VG : Several light imperfections, and possibly one or two more serious ones, such as small feelable scratches. Still plays well.
VG- : Will display numerous minor imperfections and/or feelable scratches that affect playback quality. Between you and me, you could do better.
GOOD : What I consider pretty poor... numerous major imperfections. I generally don't sell items in this range unless they are of major significance.
