Horace Silver + J. J. Johnson - Cape Verdean Blues, 1965 1st Ed., Blue Note mono

$

46

This version of the Horace Silver Quintet includes Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson, both in their early bloom.  Plus J. J. Johnson is on the tracks on Side 2.  This LP includes excellent play and an outstanding selection of songs.  In the ALL MUSIC GUIDE TO JAZZ, Scott Yanow calls it a "high-quality set of funky hard bop by one of the pace-setting groups".  He rated it with five out of five diamonds.  
The vinyl plays VG++ but is rated VG+ because of spots on the label. See the photo.  The cover has a problem along the edge of the opening near the top.  The seams are holding but the top, in particular, shows wear.  The print on the spine is clear and strong.  The original paper sleeve is included.  It has a two inch split in the center on the bottom.  It has the unique identifier listed on the London Jazz Collector website for the proper sleeve, BLP 4187 Larry Young's "Into Somethin'".
Here are the indications of a first edition.  The vinyl has both "VANGELDER" and the Plastylite "ear" stamped in the dead wax.  The addresses are "New York USA" on the record label and "43 West 61st St" on the cover.
Records are graded by playing and visually inspecting the vinyl.  If the results differ, the lower grade is used.

The following Goldmine descriptions were used for grading:

·        NM (Near Mint) ---- A nearly perfect record.  The disc looks as if you just got it home from a new record store.  Many brand new discs do not meet this standard.  The jacket should show no obvious signs of wear with no creases, folds, seam splits or cut-out holes.

·        VG+ (Very Good Plus) ---- A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.  Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear such as slight scuffs or very light scratches that don?t affect the listening experience.  The label may have some ring wear or discoloration but it would be barely noticeable.  The jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or corner indicating it was sold at a discount.  

·        VG (Very Good) ---- Surface noise will be evident, especially in soft passages, but will not overpower the music.  Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches that will affect the sound.  Labels and the jacket may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers attached.  Ring wear, scuffing, or seam splitting may be present on the jacket.  Many of the defects in a VG+ jacket will be more pronounced in a VG one.  The jacket will not have all of these problems at the same time.

·        G (Good) ---- Good does not mean Bad!  A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put on a turntable and will play through without skipping or sticking.  But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.  A jacket will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine.  Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
