Dead wax runout side one and two combined: 60-1540/60-1541 (Stamped) Factory sticker affixed to the rear cover listing the artists, their instruments and other pertinent information.  All numbers and additional information match this edition as a genuine first pressing.
The cover is in nice condition.  No seam splits.  Excellent front surface. No seam or spine chipping with the exception of minor corner rubs.
Minor foxing on the rear cover.
Play Graded:
Side one plays VG+ with some widely scattered soft pops.
Side two plays VG with surface noise in softer passages and between tracks.
The music remains vibrant and undiminished sixty years plus after it's pressing.

BE WARY OF SIGHT GRADED RECORDS
Many times it results in an inflated grade.

Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually. While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems such as skips, pops and crackle. Crackle sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking. The only way to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it. I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality. Any record with excessive background noise is rejected and not offered for sale.

All records are packaged in a commercial record mailer. Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of cardboard inserts and bubble wrap.   The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' 
Media mail shipping is $4.00 additional individual albums may be combined with minor additional shipping charges. Shipping discount up to 3 records. Additional record purchases will be packaged and charged separately with original mailing costs. This is due to limited record mailer depth. 

You may return any album that does not play to your satisfaction. However, please email me with any problems you have in this regard before return. All albums must be returned in the time allotted and in the same condition and manner as they were shipped. This applies to individual LPs and lots.   I will reimburse your purchase price and original mailing cost.  I package records with great care and ship with delivery confirmation.
Note:  Currently, USPS delivery may be very slow in certain locations.
