Additional Notes/Extras

Stunning 1956 1st press, RVG stampers, 446 West 50th address on labels

Sleeve is free of any seam splits, tears, or chipping. Light edge wear, small spot of cosmetic damage on front

Disc is immaculate, a small handful of very light surface marks that can only be seen under bright light. 

Labels are free of spindle wear, and playback is just incredible. LP is just shy of NM which is unheard of for these 50's RVG jazz albums.
