Description

HERBIE HANCOCK LP - "TAKIN OFF" -  BLUE NOTE RECORDS US IMPORT - BLP4109 - ORIGINAL MONO DEEP GROOVE LABELS - A1/B1- 1962?

FIRST OF ALL I NEVER LIKE TO DISAPPOINT ANYONE WITH MY GRADINGS, SO I GIVE AN HONEST OPINION AS I CAN. 

RECORD IN APPEARENCE IS VG/ VG+, WITH QUITE A FEW HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF SMALL LIGHT SCRATCHES NOTHING HEAVY.

IVE PLAYED IT ON HEADPHONES AND THERE IS SOME MINOR CLICKS IN PLACES AND SOME LIGHT CRACKLE IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS

SIDE 1 PLAYS IN MY OPINION CLOSE TO VG+, AND STILL RETAINS A GOOD SOUND QUALITY , AND GENERALLY PLAYS WELL 

SIDE 2 IS CLOSER TO VG, THIS BEING, AS TRACK 3 - "ALONE AND I" , CONTAINS HISSING AND CRACKLE AS THIS IS MORE A BALLADS SONG.

THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT THE RECORD IS NOT COMPLETELY STRAIGHT, IT IS NOT WARPED, BUT IS A LITTLE OFF CENTRE (IF THAT MAKES SENSE). LETS SAY 90% STRAIGHT, AND IT IS OVER 50 YEARS OLD, SO PLEASE TAKE THIS IN TO CONSIDERATION.          

SOMEONE HAS ALSO WRITTEN THERE INITIALS IN MARKER PEN TO SIDE 1 (as seen in picture). I DONT KNOW IF THIS CAN BE REMOVED OR NOT.

LABELS ARE QUITE CLEAN APART FROM MARKER PEN. DEEP GROOVE TO SIDE 2

MATRIX NUMBERS BN-LP-4109 A1     BN-LP-4109 B1     VAN GELDER STAMP (not hand written) TO BOTH SIDES, AND EAR

COVER IS NEAR VG+.LAMENATED FRONT WITH SOME WEAR TO THE CORNERS, AND EDGES, AND A LITTLE CREASING  BUT NOTHING MAJOR, SPINE IS VG+ AND ALL READABLE. THE SAME INITIALS HAVE BEEN SIGNED ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER (not outside). ADDRESS TO BACK IS - 43 WEST 6st, NEW YORK 23

CONTAINS BLUE NOTE INNER, WHICH DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF TEARS

TAKING EVERYTHING IN TO CONSIDERATION THIS IS A FAIR PRICE FOR THIS RECORD

I ALWAYS TRY MY BEST WITH GRADINGS AND WOULD NEVER TRY TO SELL SOMETHING THAT DOESNT SUIT THE DESCRIPTION, IF I MAKE A GENUINE MISTAKE AND YOU ARE NOT HAPPY PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL SORT ANY PROBLEMS OUT. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE NEGATIVE FEED BACK. I USE RECORD COLLECTERS AS A GUIDE. YET AGAIN IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED I OFFER A REFUND (not the return postage costs ,sorry) ONCE THE ITEM HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ME, IN THE SAME CONDITION AS SENT.  SOME RECORDS I DEEM RARE WILL BE PLAYED THROUGH AND STATED, SOME WILL BE VISUAL GRADINGS, JUST CHECK MY FEEDBACK. GOOD LUCK
