This auction is for a 1958 Jubilee recording, CU-BOP, JGM 1049; Art Blakey and His Jazz Messengers, with Sabu and A Bongo. The 12 inch is superlaphonic HI-Fi. The LP is in NM condition, it is clean, a little dust and minor surface scratches, seen only under light and probably from sliding in and out of sleeve, not felt by fingers. The cover appears VG+, as there is shelf wear(minor), but it has one area on the back where the liner notes has been torn and are illegible. This is approximately 3/4"long and 1/8" wide and does not go through the entire cover.
The record came from the estate of a close friend and my guess is he played it one or two, possibly three times. His stereo system was a high end Thorens and Nacamichi system so when these records were played it was on a good sound turntable. Anyway, I know for a fact this record has been kept in a climate controlled room (constant 75 degrees year round) for the last 20 years, so there is no warping. This and the other records in this collection have not been played for at least 10 years probably longer and need to be in the hands of collectors who know how to take care of and appreciate them.
I have not played the LP, but will update you if I do. I have learned from experience record grading can be highly subjective. That said, there are NO MAJOR scratches, NO apparent surface wear due to abuse of the playing surface. I decided not to try to clean it. I'll leave further care up to the new owner. At the risk of being redundant, for the purposes of this auction and because record care and standards vary from person to person, I will guarantee this LP asVG++. I'd guarantee the cover VG+.
THE FINE PRINT: RETURN POLICY
If you are the high bidder and I ship it to you and you are not happy here's the deal: I will accept the record back and give you a full refund including your shipping cost PROVIDED (read this carefully) you return the record to me in the exact condition I shipped it. I have taken several close up pictures to verify the condition prior to shipping. You can take the record out and look at examine it and play it, but if you play it and scratch it, then you own it.
If you're just looking for the music, please, buy one of the CD collections offered at other EBay stores. I'm not trying to be difficult; I just don't want any misunderstandings. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to write. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
