Description

BLUE NOTE VINYL ORIGINAL PRESSING!
Seldom seen in UK auctions is this beautiful ORIGINAL PRESSING of McCoy Tyner's post-bop classic, Expansions (Blue Note BST 84338). This is one of the original Liberty pressing variants of this title (the specific label variation is in the Discogs link below). I have fully play-tested the vinyl, so my grading is based on how the record actually sounds, as well as how it looks.
Vinyl is graded in Excellent condition - there is a small amount of crackle on the run-in groove, but a nice quiet soundstage throughout the music, which is great as all the soloists get spotlighted. VAN GELDER is present in the vinyl deadwax. Visually, there are a few light surface marks (highlighted in photos) which don't affect the audio, and no scratches or hairlines - overall a nice example!
The original Liberty cover is strictly graded in Very Good+ condition, due to some light ringwear on the front & back, some general discolouring on the rear, and small corner dings (visible in photos) - otherwise the sleeve is in solid structural condition.

Note that I separate the vinyl from the outer sleeve for postage to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me, and in the way I'd like to receive them.

All items are play-tested throughout, and I strive to be comprehensive and fair in grading descriptions. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to help.
