Strictly Romantic

Clifford Brown (trumpet), Gigi Gryce (alto sax), Jimmy Gourley (guitar), Henri Renaud (piano), Pierre Michelot (bass), Jean Louise Viale (drums) recorded 1953 and leased by Blue Note from Vogue

  The label is the "767 Lexington Ave NYC" label, deep groove, both sides.  The "ear is in the runout along with "W6" on side A.  A name is written in pen at the top of the label, both sides.  Visually, the record is VG.  There are scuffs and small light scratches, both sides.  The grooves, especially toward the end of each side show some wear.  There are spindle marks both sides.  The record looks like it has had a good amount of play but has not been abused.  I played most of side A and spot played Side B.  The record plays with a bit more than moderate surface noise of the ticking and popping type.  The music is louder than the noise, but the noise is audible even on loud passages.  There is a bit of loss of dynamics near the end of both sides, due to groove wear.  The record play grades as between VG and VG-.  "Strictly Romantic", the quiet ballad plays at about G+.  In summation, the record is not destroyed; it is a less than average copy, but can still be enjoyed.

  The cover is VG.  The bottom seam is split about 6 inches and is untaped.  Spine and top seam intact with moderate wear.  The front cover and back have moderate to heavy wear. A name is written on the back cover in small lters in pen and a very small pencilled number.

      I attempt to grade records conservatively and accurately.  Satisfaction is guaranteed, no hassles.  I will ship record promptly, properly packed, upon receipt of payment.  Payment is expected in 7 days. I can only accept Paypal as Ebay will no longer allow sellers to accept checks or money orders. 

This record and all the other 10 inch LPs I am listing this week was play graded using a stereo cartridge. They would all play better and with less noise, using a mono cartridge.
