DISC:  EXCELLENT with full original gloss.  Has been played a small number of times and handled with care.  There are a couple slight hairline paper scuffs but no serious or audible marks or problems.  Plays beautifully with superb fidelity.  Labels are clean.  This hard-to-find LP is one that you will never need to upgrade.      

JACKET:  EXCELLENT with nice clean panels.   Seams, spine, and surfaces are excellent.  There is a slight chip (approximately ½”) on the bottom seam slightly right of center.  There is also a small notation in pen on the reverse at bottom right.   No other writing, stickers, or other issues.  Overall a very fine, clean jacket worthy of display.

Includes the original LIBERTY RECORDS factory inner sleeve in top condition.

Review:

“For this interesting set, organist Larry Young (the first musician on his instrument to really move beyond Jimmy Smith's soul-jazz into the avant-garde) mostly utilized lesser-known musicians from the Newark, NJ, area: Tyrone Washington and Herbert Morgan on tenors, flugelhornist Hank White, guitarist Eddie Wright, drummer Eddie Gladden, and Stacey Edwards on congas.  "Major Affair" is an organ-drums duet and Larry's wife Althea Young does a haunting version of "Wild Is the Wind," while the other four selections use all of the horns.  The adventurous music is sometimes quite intense but also grooves in its own eccentric way, offering listeners a very fresh sound on organ.”
