Near mint NM condition vinyl - I hesitate slightly in grading as near mint because if I look closely under a bright light I can just about detect a couple of barely identifiable small and faintest of faint wispy paper scuff lines...but apart from that no marks at all Completely flat, weighty and retaining it s original and gorgeous jet black sheen - there s something about 1960 s Polydor vinyl where black is really black - when I say black I mean a truly jet black sheen Apart from the aforementioned two wispiest of wispy hairlines, perfect Near mint NM condition labels : pristine I cannot even detect the usual one or two faint spindle trails. Clearly this is a record that has been only very sparingly played, probably just a few times at most. Excellent EX conditionfully laminated laminated MacNeill Press outer sleeve with firm unscuffed edges, including a firm spine with all spine text remaining perfectly intact. All colours, gorgeous art work and text remain in beautiful, vibrant and crystal clear definition. The only blemishes are three diagonal laminate creases/crinkles towards the top left corner on the front side and a thin vertical strip of laminate lift on both the front and reverse sides immediately next to the spine. There is no cardboard creasing, the opening edges are firm with no fraying, each corner is a near perfect right angle with barely any rubbing at all, and there is no unwanted writing. Take a good look at my photos where I have tried to show a detailed and honest appraisal of the condition of this iconic sleeve - hard to believe that this copy is 57 years of age. Near mint NM stereo audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, distortion, interference or background crackle - just perfect You may come across a couple of barely distinguishable background static clicks but no more than you would expect from a brand new record - crystal clear stereo sound quality throughout with great tone, and each and every track remaining a great listen. Comes with original and correctly dated poly-lined PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS inner sleeve with no side splits or age discolouration and just some mild creasing in two corners and some very minor fraying on a top edge. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.
A brilliant condition copy of this 1968 UK 1st press jazz rarity - you won t find many 1st press vinyls in better condition than this
