Condition: 

DISC:  Vinyl is nice VG+ to VG++ with 100% of original gloss, appears to have been played a small number of times and handled with reasonably good care.  Would grade higher except for a couple light scuffs that produce an occasional soft tick.  Fidelity is excellent.  Labels are clean.  Overall a very decent playing copy of this rare gem.

JACKET:    VG++ with no major problems.   Panels are clean, except for a few very light traces of ring wear.  Spine has some light wear and about an inch of chipping at the top.  No writing, stickers or cut-out indications.  Reverse is clean with no writing, stickers, or stains.  Overall a very fine jacket to accompany the nice sounding disc.

NOTE:  This came from a large collection stored for many years by an individual associated with the radio station at a historically black university back in the mid 1970s-early 80s.  Most appear to have been sampled once, or appear unplayed.  Guaranteed to be original and not a modern repro.  I will be listing additional albums from this collection in the coming weeks, so please check back for additional rare titles.
