   ART BLAKEY      AT THE JAZZ CORNER OF THE WORLD Vol. 1        Blue Note BLP 4015
Up for auction is an early Blue Note Mono (Liberty w/ original labels) pressing (1966) of Art Blakey's 1958 live lp, "At The Jazz Corner of The World Vol. 1". Fantastic Live Hard Bop with brilliant front line of Lee Morgan and Hank Mobley. This was recently opened by me after keeping sealed in my collection for at least 20 years. I wanted to see which pressing, and play for grading.
DEAD WAX INFO:  BNLP - 4015 - A etched on Side 1 run-out and BNLP - 4015 - B etched on Side 2 run-out. Both Sides have RVG stamped into the run-out. Stone original Mono first Liberty Blue Note press (1966) with 47 West 63rd (original) labels.    VINYL VISUAL: NM at best with one minor mark, inflicted by me when opening (small fingernail brush Side 2), and two mottling marks from being sealed in paper for 50 years.. Labels show NO PLAY (except for grading). Might want to clean for dust removal purposes before playing.  
VINYL PLAY GRADE: NM with very little noise. Could use a cleaning, which might elevate this even more. VERY low noise level on lead-ins and between tracks. A GREAT player with that bright, LOUD Blue Note early Liberty sound. Plays as new, which is what you would expect.    
COVER VISUAL: VG+ at best with FULL SHRINK and little wear, but downgraded for corner softening, yellowing, and slight musty smell.
COMES WITH ORIGINAL Blue Note PRINTED 27 YEARS INNER  in GREAT SHAPE (one seam starting to come unglued, and slight musty smell).
       PLEASE READ FOR DETAILS ON SELLER AND SHIPPING 
HELLO ALL. My name is Jamie, and I have been collecting records steadily for over 45 years.  After a bit of a respite from selling on Ebay, I am back and will be selling a ton of stuff over the next few years. My tastes run all over the map, so there will be something for everyone. All opened items will be visually AND aurally graded. All Dead Wax info will be listed. Play grade is done on a Thorens TD 165 through Yamaha amplification and JBL reference headphones (treble set high so there will be no surprises when you get the item). 
ALL ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH PROPER MAILERS AND EXTRA PADDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS. I HAVE MADE FAR TOO MANY PURCHASES ON EBAY WHERE THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED WITH DINGED CORNERS DUE TO INADEQUATE PACKAGING MATERIAL. BY USING FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP IN ALL FOUR CORNERS, YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF AN ITEM WITHOUT DINGED CORNERS (OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER).             Non-tracked shipping throughout the U.S.A will be $13 CANADIAN per item, as will tracked shipping within Canada. Tracked shipping to the U.S.A. will be $16 CANADIAN for items under 500g, and slightly more for items over 500g. Most single sleeve items can be shipped as under 500g. Gatefolds and multi-sets will be over 500g. 
Being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing ALL of the shipping material cost, and some of the actual postage cost.
If you have issue with an item, PLEASE work with me to achieve an outcome that will be to your satisfaction. I do offer full refunds (excluding cost to get it back to me), on any item that is not satisfactory.       SINCE SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE (Thank You Canada Post), I will rarely list gatefolds or multi-items for sale overseas. IF ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS CRAZY INTERESTED IN ANY ITEM, I WILL QUOTE SHIPPING ON REQUEST. Since a lot of the stuff that I will be selling is of higher end quality, rarely will things be offered overseas. Sorry folks. Again, I can consider requests on an item-by-item basis. THANKS FOR READING, everyone.       Occasionally I will be selling rare and collectible CDs. Shipping obviously will be much less, around $5 CANADIAN within North America.
