I don't think you want to miss this one. Since it's not a TRUE first pressing, you're gonna get a deal in comparison. And it has pretty much the same pedigree ... I mean, I think this is a jazz must, and this copy is certainly in great shape. 

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Blue Note NYC labels, deep groove, plastylite ear, RVG stamp ... the works. Early press. And glorious sounding. There's some surface scuffing, but it's all superficial -- the LP probably lived a life without an inner sleeve for some time. But overall, it's a beautiful copy. I've owned quite a few, and this one sounds pretty fantastic. Not top ... but not far off.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Heavy cardboard, beautiful gloss, solid spine. Some standard wear, and corners aren't super sharp. ... someone repaired a 1" split at the opening ... actually repaired very well. I didn't notice it until I'd had this awhile. Overall it's soldi. _________________________________________________________________ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
