THE MUSIC
The third album in Waldron's classic Prestige trilogy, recorded 1958 with an unusual and beautiful sextet: Art Farmer (trumpet), Eric Dixon (flute), Calo Scott (cello), Julian Euell (bass), Elvin Jones (drums), and Elaine Waldron (voice). Supervision by Bob Weinstock, recorded by Van Gelder. Moody, adventurous arrangements - one of the most distinctive dates in the Prestige catalog.

CONDITION
VINYL: VG. Visually shows scattered light hairlines and surface scuffs under strong light on both sides; no feelable marks noted. Graded conservatively to the original owner's play notes, which report background noise and crackles in quieter passages. Visual condition is stronger than the play grade suggests - graded honestly at VG. Additional photos on request.
JACKET: VG. Glossy front presents well with strong color. Top seam has a split with old tape repair. Bottom edge shows wear with some layer separation at the opening edge. Corner wear and general shelf wear. No writing. See photos - all defects photographed.
