Brief description of item

A Story Tale... Original JAZZLAND USA pressing, made in New York. Heavy and chunky vinyl pressing here in a mono recording. Cat# JLP 40. Original orange/black labels with only some slight spider lines to be seen around the centre. I can count maybe three on each side. This has not been played very much in its life, still remaining in audio terms as no less than a very strong EXCELLENT.

The record has been checked and test played again. Under bright light or a certain angle of daylight conditions there are slight/light signs of cover removal caused from the very thin (still included) paper tracing inner sleeve.

The sleeve has created a few lines on this record...None of which happily affect the recordings in any of these compositions featured here within. Merely a visual issue and not a serious scratch or similar.  

Actual play was tremendous & their are no signs of pop, tick, crackle, distortion or ingrained dust...Very clean surface.

The cover is in very good shape without any ripping, split or tearing. No pre-owned handwritten names. Very clean cover front and acceptable back cover. The original price written on back of the cover at the top. Still nice and very clean, where they usually would with these designs become aged or dirt ridden.

Here we have a clean & damp or dust free copy. A rare gem today as an ORIGINAL recording & very first mono. I keep the record inside a plain white inner sleeve as the paper tracing inner (which will be included) is rather fragile, but still like this after all these years. Please see the close up view below of all on offer. Thanks.

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condiition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displayes no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has notceably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD's and CASSETTES As a general rule CD's and Cassettes either play perfectly - inwhich case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD's are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves
