~ condition ~


record is in Very Good Condition and has been
fully Play Tested and it Sounds Great and plays with
no skips or repeats & has a warm full loud tone but it
does have mellow crackle & soft stray pops in places
and has shiny clean vinyl with visible wear that doesn't
interfere with the sound except for a the mellow crackle
and occasional pops & the LP has bright clean mostly
wear-free labels with no writing or markings but
they do have some spindle wear & light soiling

see our multiple photos for additional condition issues

cover is in Very Good Condition with bold bright
printing and has intact seam (the top and bottom seams
do have neat archival repairs done from the inside that
are only seen upon close inspection) & has no writing or
markings other than the PROMO stamp on the back and
what is likely a Radio Station sticker on the front cover
and there is wear to the corners & edges and most of
the printing on the spine is worn away & this has some
light soiling to the plain white background on back

displays & plays well

~ review ~


Bennie Green was one of the few trombonists of
the 1950s to not sound somewhat like a J.J. Johnson
clone & he always had a likable and humorous style
blending in well here with tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse
on these standards, blues and jump tunes, two of which
have group vocals. With a fine rhythm section (pianist
Cliff Smalls, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Osie Johnson
and Candido on congas), Green and his band show that there
is no reason that swinging jazz has to be viewed as overly
intellectual and esoteric. This is a fine example of
Bennie Green's talents and winning musical personality

~ Our Record Condition Guide ~


since everyone has their own ideas about grading the condition
of records, we've decided to spell out how we do it. our descriptions are
also extremely thorough & individually note flaws that a generic condition grade
cannot. we also occasionally assign a + and - for in-between grades

Mint

perfect, never played & usually still factory sealed

Near Mint

nearly perfect with almost no signs of handling

Excellent

the slightest visual wear that in no way interferes with the sound

 Very Good +

light visible signs of handling & wear but well taken care of
and plays with only mellow occasional crackle and/or soft pops but 
nothing interfering with enjoying the record/artwork

Very Good

obviously used & handled, but not mishandled, with no skips,
repeats or bad noise, but with noticeable crackle, pops & soft tics or
artwork defects, but nothing too bad overall

 Very Good -

considerable visible wear & background noise with possible
skips, repeats, tics and cover flaws, but still enjoyable & would
be obviously well-used and somewhat mishandled

So-So

anything below VG- which we rarely sell, except
for really rare records that are worth listing only because
they're so hard to find & sought-after in any condition

Disclaimer

not everyone's turntable sounds & functions the same, but we
have a nice sensitive set-up that makes flaws very obvious to us and we try
to note everything we ear and see. while vinyl is an awesome sounding format,
there is almost always some sort of background noise while listening to a
record. we are just about as picky as anyone, so trust us
but be sure to read our descriptions carefully!
