Hi! You're looking at an excellent condition Vinyl LP which is a FIRST PRESSING 1967 issue (it's a very early pressing with 1S / 4S stampers in the runout grooves) on the RCA Victor Records label and a classic recording by DUKE ELLINGTON and his orchestra titled "Duke Ellington's Far East Suite"--the Suite is the last great collaboration between Ellington and BILLY STRAYHORN and features JOHNNY HODGES on alto saxophone, COOTIE WILLIAMS on trumpet, PAUL GONSALVES on tenor saxophone, JIMMY HAMILTON on clarinet, LAWRENCE BROWN on trombone, HARRY CARNEY on baritone saxophone, and other members of the classic Duke Ellington Orchestra..  The LP is a RCA Victor Records album with the serial number LSP-3782, is a STEREO issue and 1st PRESSING with 1s / 4s stampers in the runout grooves, and was pressed in the United States in 1967.
This LP Set is in excellent condition and the vinyl is in VG++ overall conditoin and should play extremely well, with a few moderate scuffs and a number of light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play except for possibly a few light scattered tics in a couple of places and no other significant flaws; the cover is in strong NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition with a very light and small sticker shadow on the upper right corner of the front surface, some very light discoloration on the opening edges and just very slight shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant imperfections--it's NOT a cutout!  

Vinyl Grading Standards (unless otherwise indicated, LPs are visually graded)

Mint (or M) – Sealed and effectively perfect with no signs of wear or ever having been played.

Near Mint -- A record with only the slightest evidence of ever having been handled.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches.  Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
