This is a beautiful rare near mint mono Japanese audiophile Victor Musical Industries Company (JVC) pressing of The Miles Davis Quintet LP, Relaxin With, originally recorded for and released by Prestige Records in 1956. This LP was pressed in 1976 on high quality translucent virgin vinyl by Victor Musical Industries (JVC) the same company that pressed the highly demanded audiophile original master recording series for MFSL. This LP, however, was created three years before the start of the MFSL label, and this title was never licensed to nor released by MFSL in the US. Japanese pressings of this rarity in this top condition usually are only available if at all from Japan and at higher cost, in addition to expensive shipping. Although at listing there were no other copies of this rare LP listed on eBay even by Japanese sellers. The group in addition to Miles Davis on trumpet featured the great tenor saxophonist, John Coltrane; Red Garland, piano, Paul Chambers, bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. Near mint original pressings of this classic have a very high book value ($300).

The LP visually in near mint condition and plays very nicely. The original cover is in excellent condition. The seams and spine are strong with little or no rub wear visible. All corners are quite sharp with just some slight tip wear showing on bottom mouth tip as well as slight stain in same area. The front and back of cover are very clean. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing and may be available for sale for some time, so the LP must be cleaned again before play. LP's are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine, so matter may have settled in the grooves in the interim. Please do not claim LP is not as described if you play the LP without first cleaning the LP.

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is very important to me as a seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available
