Description

Up for auction is a nice copy of the Oliver Nelson album "Main Stem" released on Prestige Records (PRLP 7236) in 1961. This is a guaranteed, original mono, deep groove first pressing, with RVG stamped in the dead wax. Has correct 203 South Washington Ave., Bergenfield, NJ address on labels and back of album cover. Original yellow and black "fireworks" Prestige labels. Cover is in nice shape. Nice and shiny original laminated cover, no ring wear. Corners are sharp, not bumped, but they do show some minor chip losses and rubbing. Seams are strong and intact, no splits and no cracking. Edge along opening has a very small amount of lamination lifting, but it doesn't really detract from the cover's overall attractiveness. Back cover looks generally clean, and bone white, though it does show some minor rubbing along the edges (see photo). Factory inspection stamp in upper right. No writing or markings. I'd grade this cover as EX (Excellent). The vinyl appears to be in nice shape, too. Retains its original glossy surfaces. No obvious or serious scratches or scuffs, though is does have a few faint hairlines that can't be felt, nor do they seem to affect the quality of the play back. Also, some very faint signs of having been taken in and out of the paper inner sleeve. Labels are clean and bright, no marks around the spindle holes. I have play tested this record, and overall it sounds very nice, with a full-bodied mono sound. Does have a few occasional very light ticks at the opening of each side, but they aren't persistent, nor do they distract from the quality or level of the music. Not audiophile perfect, but a very nice sounding record nonetheless. I'd grade the vinyl as EX (Excellent). 100% satisfaction guaranteed, no risk buying. My 100% positive feedback on records allows you to buy with confidence.
