Here the famous British jazz vocalist got together with Johnny Keating to record a fantastic live session at London's oldest riverside inn, The Prospect Of Whitby. The musicians chosen to provide Lita with a suitable musical background were all selected from the topmost drawer of Britain's jazz players: Ronnie Ross, Ronnie Chamberlain, Duncan Lamont, Ronnie Hughes, Andy White, Kenny Napper and Dave Lee.
Comes in original front laminated flipback picture sleeve and has original clear polythene inner sleeve. Has excellent rear sleeve notes by Sinclair Traill.

Vinyl in very good condition with light surface wear and a couple of light scuff marks, but actually plays through very nicely with just an occasional quiet background crackle and a quiet click every now and again. On side one is a noticeable light/mild scuff on tracks two, three and four, but this has very little effect on play other than about ten very quiet clicks during the whole duration of these these three tracks. At the very start of side 2 is a tiny 2mm mild scratch, but this doesn't seem to really affect play much at all, maybe just a handful of hardly noticeable background clicks. So all in all this is a well acceptable and playable copy, with some disturbances but nothing that distracts your attention away from enjoying the music.
Labels look very clean with only a small amount of spindle marks on side 1, and a small to medium amount of spindle marks on side 2. No writing or stickers.
Sleeve in excellent condition and looks quite tidy really, with light ringwear and some very minor corner creasing. Corners look super with only the lightest traces of wear. Other than a couple of small surface scuffs on the top spine, the spines look clean and have no splits, with the main spine writing perfectly readable. Rear looks good with virtually no discolouring, although has a number written in top left corner. Opening edges look good with just a small amount of very light feathering. No stickers anywhere. Inner sleeve in excellent condition with no edge splits.
