Jacket:   Jacket is in NM- condition, with no significant flaws.  Front art work is clean and bright.  No splits or stickers.  There is a very slight, very faint  small moisture stain on the reverse at the top, almost unnoticeable.  Shows very slight traces of surface wear beginning to appear on reverse.  Corners are very crisp and well-defined.   Overall a beautiful jacket you will be proud to display.

Vinyl:  Vinyl is very clean with nice original gloss, displays several light hairline marks on each side that produce softly audible tics in a few places, particularly at the beginning of the sides.  I would give it a grade of VG+.  There are no serious problems, and very little wear.  Fidelity is excellent.  This is a very nice playing copy of this essential early Blue Note gem.
