*This is an ULTRA RARE stereo release.
THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. Very Rare.
*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a Near Mint but we do not like to grade that high as some people are very picky. It looks and plays great so VG++ is as high as we ever go. It is one of our cleanest records.
Record Grade VG++ = Very well maintained. The vinyl is in beautiful condition. The vinyl is stunning. Looks barely played. Just listened to both sides of the whole album with headphones on and it plays very smooth. Amazing condition and quality. Shiny vinyl. Difficult to find this rare vintage record in such great condition. It is actually a Near mint vinyl but we never grade that high. (see pictures)
Jacket Grade VG+ = Shiny, clean, well maintained. No writing. No Tape. Very well taken care of. Faint "E" stamp on back jacket. Has been kept in plastic. A very clean jacket for a 54 year old album. (see pictures)
