John Coltrane - Giant Steps LP Atlantic 1311 Black Label Mono Orig Paul Chambers

$

139

Cover: VG++ (light edge wear at the bottom but very nice overall)

Record: visually VG although Side 1 plays more like VG+ with a few ticks at the beginning of "Giant Steps" but nice overall. The first two songs on Side 2 are quieter tracks that play VG- with surface noise approaching the level of the music in a couple of spots. The last song on Side 2 plays well.

Scarce black label first pressing with the original Atlantic inner sleeve.

Please check out my other auctions. I have hundreds of hard to find jazz LP's up this week!

All records have been professionally cleaned on a VPI 16.5.

Grading:

NM Looks unplayed or perhaps played just a few times. The cleanest grade I give and very rarely used.

VG++ (same as EX) Very light surface marks often from the inner sleeve that do not affect play. Perhaps a very light tick or brief moment of barely audible surface noise at the very worst. Overall a very clean record.

VG+ Light surface noise during a quiet moment or two. Might play with a few light pops here and there but nothing sustained over more than a few seconds.

VG Surface noise is more pronounced or more frequent than in a VG+ record, but never skips or overtakes the music. Might play with some light pops or ticks for a minute or two at a time. Still an enjoyable listen.

VG- A filler copy. Will play with louder pops or ticks than a VG record and surface noise might compete with the music during the quieter moments. I will only offer a record in this condition when its scarcity demands.
