Description
Charlie Parker
"Bird on 52nd Street"
Product
Record Grade: VG++
Visually the record is VG+, but play graded in full at VG++. The record plays extremely well and is quite rare. The surface does show some surface wear and a few light marks. Please note: The SIDE A label is missing. When these were originally pressed back in 1957, a common problem is missing labels or them falling off in the dust jacket. This record only has the SIDE B label.
Cover Grade: VG
Jacket is overall in very good shape, showing light signs of wear to the corners, front and back. Please see pictures. There is some seam splitting and was taped by owner.
