This is some incredible Latin-style jazz. Candido is amazing on this -- he was also a player with Kenny Burrell. I think this one is a bit underrated -- anyway here's a really great OG copy of it.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) OG MONO, 50th address, deep groove, flat edge press, RVG hand etched in runouts. Vinyl is solidly clean. A little light paper scuffing, and one small scratch on the last track of Side B. For about 1/4 of the track there's a really light tick. I think I see one other light one on Side B. A little light ticking here an there, but still a pretty solid play.
COVER: Strong VG (7.0 of 10) Decent cover. Clear storage wear, 1" split top opening, A little corner split -- 95% holding together. All liner notes can be read fine. Decent enough cover. _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Audio Technica MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
