ONE OWNER - THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. 

*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a VG+, looks and plays great.

Record Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. Just listened to both sides of the whole album and it plays beautiful. It is from our personal collection. Little to no surface noise at all. A visible surface scratch on Side one that has no effect on music other than an occasional pop that is not disruptive at all. No skips or jumps. Difficult to find this rare vintage stereo recording in such nice condition. (see pictures) 

Jacket Grade VG+ = Shiny, clean, well maintained. We kept it on shelf in plastic cover. No staining. No writing. Glossy. We placed three inches clear tape on spine and two inches bottom middle to protect small seem splits. A very clean jacket for a 56 year old album. (see pictures)
