Be sure to look at my other auctions!  I have many great titles for sale this week. 
Artist: Sonny Rollins 
Title: Tenor Madness 
Label: Prestige 7047
Mono/Stereo: mono
Details: First pressing. 446 West 50th labels, deep groove, RVG. 

Record grading: Visually strong VG but plays EX! This plays magnificently from start to finish. Visually there are couple longer but very light marks, otherwise this is a strong VG+. Still retains a lot of gloss and no deep or problematic marks whatsoever. Play graded in full. I heard about 7-8 very light ticks twice. The rest of the album plays brilliantly, virtually no other ticks or crackle to mention. The mentioned ticks are extremely light as well, I’m only mentioning them due to the EX grade. This will please nearly all listeners, magnificent player guaranteed! 

Cover grading: Strong VG. Has an age patina which is typical of this cover. Seams are in great shape with very tiny wear, almost completely clean. A nice set! 

Labels: See photos
