### CONDITION GRADING (Strictly Visual & Play Graded)
* **MEDIA (Vinyl): NEAR MINT (NM)**   The vinyl is in spectacular, immaculate condition. It retains its full, brilliant, original mirror-like gloss finish. Visually, there are no notable marks, scratches, or scuffs. 
* **AUDIO PERFORMANCE:**   Plays beautifully, crisp, and dynamically with incredible clarity. The ultrasonic deep-clean has completely quieted the floor noise. An absolute top-tier audiophile-grade play copy of a legendary 1960s blues album.
* **SLEEVE (Jacket): VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)**   The thick cardboard jacket is highly structural, sturdy, and well-preserved. Front artwork remains vibrant and sharp; the white back cover shows only minor, natural age-toning. Edges and corners show light shelf wear consistent with age, but there are NO total seam splits, NO writing, and NO barcode. Please see the high-resolution photos to inspect the corners closely.

### 🧼 ULTRASONIC CLEANING & SPECIAL CARE This record has been professionally ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED using a specialized multi-frequency bath. This process uses microscopic cavitation to lift 50+ years of deep-groove dust, grease, static, and paper-sleeve residue that regular brushes miss. 
Following the cleaning, the vinyl was placed directly into a brand-new, premium anti-static archival inner sleeve to prevent re-contamination. The original 1967 inner paper sleeve is also preserved and included in the package.

### 📦 SAFE PROFESSIONAL SHIPPING I package records the way collectors want them packaged: 1. The vinyl (inside its anti-static sleeve) will be removed from the jacket prior to packing to completely eliminate the risk of "seam splits" happening during transit. 2. The jacket and vinyl will be placed together inside a protective clear plastic outer sleeve. 3. The package will be securely sandwiched between stiff cardboard pad inserts inside a dedicated, heavy-duty corrugated LP mailer. 4. Prompt shipping with full tracking and insurance included.
