Thie is a really nice copy of this hard bop classic and rarity. Pics give you the idea of the cover condition. No splits, nice gloss, light mellowing on the back cover. Some light corner fray and bump to the corners. Solid VG+.
Vinyl retains nice gloss and sheen. A few light but longer 'marks' that don't affect play. Lighter handling missteps but treated well. Some spindle tracking on the labels, but they really display well. Play grade finds a solid and clear sound. So nice to listen, but please NOTE: On side 2, cut 1 there is a small (about an 1/8 or 1/16 inch long) scratch that you can feel, and you will hear. About 5 revolutions you will get a 'tic'. It does not skip or hang up. Just plays through but it's there. Just full disclosure. I'm still keeping this at VG+ but let's look at it on the lighter side. For sure a very solid VG, but it plays so nice and looks so nice that I really want to bounce that up to VG+. I think you'll find the same. Shipped securely in an oversized and reinforced lp box. Vinyl shipped outside the cover in an audiophile lined type sleeve. Feel free to make a fair offer.
