Format: 12" 33rpm lp

Artist: Art Pepper

Title: Modern Art

Label/Catalog #: Intro ILP 606  

Mono/Stereo: Mono

Details:   Rare first pressing. Deep groove, flat edge disc. This album has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner. 


Record condition: Side 1 is EX. Very clean, looks nearly as new! Side 2 is VG. Has a high gloss but shows some light scratches and one on the final track that can be felt. Play graded in full. The beginning has some light crackle but still plays better than any copy I've heard. The first minute plays VG+ and the rest of side 1 plays closer to EX. The first 3 tracks of side 2 play very nicely. Some slight backing ticks on track 2 but plays VG++ almost fully. The final track has a cyclical tick for about 2 minutes, audible but not horrible. Plays very well until the mentioned scratch, a nice copy overall!

Cover:  VG++. Very nice cover! Upper corner is creased and small wear on lower corner, otherwise this is NM-. Clean seams, front and back look fantastic.
