HEREUNDER DESCRIPTION OF MILES DAVIS' RELAXIN' WITH THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET METRONOME 7129:
PRESTIGE 7129/ METRONOME 7129 HAS WRITTEN ON LABEL: MADE IN DENMARK BY METRONOME RECORDS A/B, ON THE SLEEVE IS PRINTED BOTTOM LEFT "PRINTED IN DENMARK A/B BENT IBSEN OFFSET". HAS THE PRESTIGE NEW YORK ADRESS!
VINYL CONDITION: NM, LOOKS LIKE UNPLAYED. THE SLEEVE: NM, HAS MINOR CREASE THOUGH. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN. A GORGEOUS AND RARE COPY OF A CLASSIC ALBUM.
MY GRADING IS VISUAL ONLY, NO PLAYGRADING, UNLESS MENTIONED.
VINYL GRADING SCALE: M:PERFECT, NM:NEAR PERFECT, E:NO WEAR, SHINY SURFACE, BUT SOME MINOR BLEMISHES (SLEEVE MARKS OR NEEDLE DROPS OR A SMALL NEGLIGEABLE SCRATCH), VG:VISIBLE WEAR AND SOME DAMAGE, BUT STILL VERY COLLECTIONABLE. I DON'T SELL G(ood) AND P(oor) MATERIAL. + or - to indicate variations on the above. Bidders should be aware that some records issued in the fifties, even if Mint, are not Hi Fi. Sometimes the vinyl or the pressings are low quality, with inevitable background noise. IMHO the absolute quality standard as set by Contemporary Records is seldom, if ever, met by other labels.
