Mose Allison Trio - Local Colour 1956 UK LP ESQUIRE 1st RVG

Label: Esquire (Original) ? 32-071 Cream and Red Labels

Format: Vinyl, LP

Country: ENGLAND

Released: 1957

Vinyl Grade : EX+ (more or less NM)

Sleeve Grade:  VG

Sleeve is acceptable, has clean front face and back and all text & images are clear. Spine and Seams are largely intact.  It does however have some wear.  Bottom right corner there is a some wear around the catalogue reference 2cmx1cm.  A couple of small knocks to the spine.  

The paste over flipbacks aredown but missing 1cm (back bottom left). Some acceptable discoloration to the white on the rear.   The labels are clean and bright and mark free.

Visually the vinyl retains it's gloss, has no obvious markings.  Under a bright light there are a few superficial hairline types marks that do not affect play.   Looks like a very nice copy indeed and in better condition than the sleeve might have suggested. Play Graded as follows:  A very nice play, no distractions of note, some super light barely noticeable background fizz, but only as expected on many 1950s recordings, the sparse ballads for example play cleanly without distraction.  A visually stunning and as good as a clean playing copy as you'd hope to find I'd say.  There is virtually no noise in between the tracks.

PAYMENT / GRADING / SHIPPING

SHIPPING

Buyer is responsible for the combined shipping & packaging costs. All items sent from UK.

Some of the heavier gatefold LPs and all Double LP carry additional postage costs.

I will happily combine orders and reduce postage and packing costs.

Larger Air Mail orders weighing over 2kg (exceeding the Small packet Air Rate) will be priced on receipt of order.

I'm happy to ship to UK and nearly all overseas countries without insurance or tracking for a total sale (including postage) that is less than £30 but not to Italy. All Italian orders exceeding £20 (including postage) will need to be sent tracked and will incur an increased fee, apologies but we have encountered too many problems with despatching to this country.

All total sales / parcels exceeding £30 (including the postage costs) will need to be sent a minimum of Recorded Delivery (UK) or Special Delivery (UK) - depending on sale value, International Signed for / Air Sure for overseas orders. Very open to discuss any shipping option on a per-order basis.

"Signed for" postage is sent via UK royal mail and can be traced here http://www.postoffice.co.uk/track-trace
