The record is of very high quality and sounds great, especially in stereo. Multi-talented Roland Kirk plays various wind instruments in this recording with Ronnie Smith on piano, Ronald Boykins, bass, and Grady Tate on the drums. The jacket has ring wear on both sides but otherwise is in satisfactory condition. Former owner's name is written on back cover. Original inner sleeve is in very good condition. One of my best sounding VG records. I use premium quality cardboard mailers to ship my records.I encase the records in clear vinyl protective outer sleeves reinforced with two cardboard inserts to safeguard the records in transit. I play all of my records at least once before grading. None of this grading by visual sighting only. Shipped by USPS Media Mail.
