**I have sent records out Media Mail for over 15-years with absolutely NO PROBLEMS WHAT-SO-EVER!

**I have been DUPED by two German record buyers, in the past—(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) —I was taken for thousands of dollars and a few BEAUTIFUL JAZZ LP’S! If you are part of this bait and switch ring, do not bid on my items! Thank you!

(This is absolutely the first pressing for this record… All riverside LP’S with blue and silver label Info. from RLP-272 TO RLP-333 & without “INC” after “Bill Grauer Productions”—These pressings were absolutely 1959-1960 FIRST Pressings!)

RECORD:

**Very very nice copy of a 60–year old record. THIS record plays, for me, very beautiful!——Please keep in mind, LP’S only sound as good as your audio electronic equipment that you play them on. The LP has a few “rub” areas from sleeve/shelf wear and one 2” (-) area that you can not feel what-so-ever with your finger tip, and, like I said, does not effect play! The LP still has shine; luster and beauty after all these years! To find a “NO “INC” IN THIS CONDITION IS QUITE RARE! NM - -

**GRAB THIS ONE WHILE IT IS STILL AVAILABLE!

**Please keep in mind—This LP was part of a record collection from a well known Chicago (Worldwide) Pianist that played mostly Jazz & Ragtime music. He had two (2) of everything and this was the unplayed 2nd copy—I was the 1st one to play it. Everyone seems to have problems with the construction of the cardboard used to cover this beautiful LP—-See below.

COVER:

The cardboard used for the cover of this GREAT LP was cheep & a disgrace! Every copy that I have come across has problems or flaws to one degree or another.

This LP has a split across the top and a few inches down the side—(+-). The bottom seam has a 3” (+-) split in the middle of the seam. All splits can be easily repaired at home or by a record shop who does this sort of work. The back cover has a bit of yellowing on the bottom 1/3 area. Corners have 60-years of shelf storage rubbing. As always, please use the photos provided for a good portion of your description needs.
