Cannonball Adderley Miles Davis SOMETHIN' ELSE Classic Records 180g LP + 12 MINT

$

50

Up for auction is a set of the Classic Records audiophile LP release of Julian Cannonball Adderley's SOMETHIN' ELSE, with Miles Davis, along with a 12" 45 with an alternate take of "Autumn Leaves" and bonus track of "Alison's Uncle".  BST 81595 + 81595-45.  I've owned these records since new, when they were still in print.  I wet cleaned this record upon purchase on a Nitty Gritty, and it's remained clean as I treat all my records with respect and never handle the groove.  It's always been played on my Rega 3 since I acquired it, first with a Grado wood body cartridge, though mostly with the Shure V15 (after selling the Grado).
The records grade 9.5/10 and the cover grades 8.5/10.
I sell worldwide.  Shipping is via USPS Media (First Class outside the USA) or Priority Mail.  Please message with any questions.
Thank you for your interest.  Good luck.
