THE SLEEVE
THE STUNNING FULLY LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH TWO REAR SCALLOPED FLIP-BACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR. THERE IS SOME MINOR LIFTING OF THE LAMINATE IN SMALL AREAS ALONG THE SPINE AND A FEW TINY FLAKE OF LAMINATE ALONG THE SPINE ITSELF. THE OPENING IS NOT FEATHERED. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE NARROW SPINE IS ALL FULLY LEGIBLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE STUNNING ORIGINAL "USE EMITEX" POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW SIGNS OF VERY CAREFUL HANDLING.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO EVERY TRACK ON THIS CLASSIC JAZZ LP AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.
THE LABELS
THE GROOVED, WHITE COLUMBIA LABELS, WITH BLACK TEXT, RED COLUMBIA AND JAZZMAN LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS.
