The CATS
Tommy FLANAGAN, John COLTRANE,
Kenny BURRELL and Idrees SULIEMAN RVG is machine stamped in the dead-wax, see photos; lacquer-cut and mastered (and engineered / recorded by)
Rudy Van Gelder!
Clean labels WITH that "deep groove"
the quality control is not super, so the b-side label paper has a roughly-textured patch to the left of the center-hole, between the Kenny Burrell printed credit above it,  and the HI FEDILITY below - this is not wear, nor damage. Label has 203 SO. WASHINGTON AVE.,
BERGENFIELD, N. J. address printed on it; NJLP 8217 HI FIDELITY Original, yellowed paper innersleeve is in VG condition,
it will be shipped inside the jacket, and the vinyl will be in a fresh sleeve and separated from the jacket. the Vinyl is VISUALLY Graded:  Vinyl looks VG++, or "excellent" and just shy  of being graded Near-Mint - very clean looking! We did spot-check the intros and
there is little to no surface noise where we checked, and what little there is was between tracks or during the quiet part of  the intros of the 2 B-Side songs.
The middle, quiet track on side A, "How Long Has This Been Going On",
was play-graded through the first half, and only the faintest occasional soft noise
suggests that it's a vinyl recording being listened to - it plays remarkably quiet!
Great sound overall, with crisp highs and tight bass: the record doesn't sound heavily played or worn at all;
side A is pressed concentrically,
side B is slightly off-center by about 1 mm,  but it's not audible at all.
Jacket is VG+ overall. There's evidence that the lower-right corner on the front
(or lower-left corner on the back) was damp at some point,
with a minor water stain, see photos.
The entire jacket is slightly, gently "warped", suggesting it was in a damp environment, or that it was wet for a brief amount of time, but only a trained eye would notice this. There's minor corner wear, and the lower-right corner is slighly frayed.
Back laminate has creasing - see photo - in the right third middle section. Back has surprisingly little yellowing otherwis, and only minor, faint shelf-wear.
The spine and seams are intact.
Front still looks great, with a little faint shelf-wear, and rough textured semi-glossy finish still intact
(rough graded cardboard stock was used for this jacket). Jacket has
203 SO. WASHINGTON AVE.,
BERGENFIELD, N. J.
address on the back. There are NO signs of sticker residue, and no sticker-removal marks;
