This is an original black vinyl U.S. copy of the 1951 compilation 10" Lp "Party After Hours", Aladdin 703, featuring songs from West Coast jump blues luminaries Amos Milburn, Wynonie Harris, "Crown Prince" Waterford and Velma Nelson This iconic early 1950s R&B collectible is ridiculously rare -- one of LA-based Aladdin Records' first forays into the then-emergent long-playing 33 1/3 album format and about as collectable and exclusive as it gets. Stunningly evocative original artwork: the late-night bar room scene featuring a blues pianist and a dame whiling away the early hours. Includes songs from such West Coast jump blues luminaries as Wynonie Harris, Amos Milburn and "Crown Prince" Waterford and Velma Nelson.
DEEP GROOVE, THICK Vinyl has some surface scuffs, but nothing I can feel. Strong player with some surface noise in spots, but nothing to detract from the great music here. (A deep cleaning might help. I mean, this album is 70 years old!)
Labels show very light wear and are still crisp and strong.
Cover has NO SPLITS, but does have some light corner and edgewear, and some paper tearing on left side along spine (and one spot top center). This album was formerly housed in one of those books where the albums are pasted in place with glue-backed paper strips. The former owner was careful as could be removing it (he says), but it still tore slightly in places, and some glue residue remains (this could be removed by next owner with heat). Blank back cover also has some glue and slight tearing.
Please see close up photos, and ask for more if needed.

GRADING
Here is the standard PlanetarySounds grades records by (with help from Goldmine).
Remember, even with such a guide, grading is still subjective. Most albums, unless noted, are visually graded under bright lights. We strive to provide as much information as possible about each album. Please ask questions if unsure about anything BEFORE you bid.
Still Sealed (SS) As good as it gets. Unopened and most likely perfect all around.
Mint (M) Absolutely perfect in every way. Maybe played once. Handled with utmost care.
Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious signs of wear. Covers show no more than the most minor defects. The same holds true for inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
Near Mint Minus or Very Good Plus Plus (NM- or VG++) Just a hair more wear than NM, but still very close to Near Mint overall. Vinyl may have nominal sleeve or paper scuffs, cover may have hint of wear. VG++ will be just a fraction below NM- due to one additional tiny defect.
Very Good Plus (VG+) Album and cover show some light signs that it was played and otherwise handled with care of it. Record surfaces may have slight surface scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect play. If not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
Very Good (VG) Increased scuffs or light scratches, surface noise evident upon playing. Covers and labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers, or minor seam splits.
Very Good Minus (VG-) Certain background noise, possible click or pop, flawed item. Covers heavily damaged, major splits, tears, writing, etc.
