This one is an original truly 1st pressing LP with Deep Groove on both sides, RVG on both sides, and also "EAR mark" on both sides. No "R" and no "INC" on both labels. Address on Side 1's label stated, "BLUE NOTE RECORDS 47 WEST 63rd NEW YORK 23". And on Side 2's label state, "BLUE NOTE RECORDS 47 WEST 63rd NYC".
The vinyl looked NM under the bright light. Just non-feelable (also non-audible) paper scuffs. I've playtested the LP by my system of Thorens TD-124 with SME3012R and Ortofon S15T. Hooked up with CELLO Palette preamp and CELLO Duet 350 amplifier, with RED ROSE Classic Speakers. The record played superbly on both sides with no issues. Labels are clean on both sides due to age (see photos). I, therefore, graded the vinyl Near Mint /Near Mint for both side 1 and side 2.
The laminated cover is looked very fine. With shiny deep blue. No split. Just only a 1-inch bruise. The back cover has yellow stains due to age. Address on the back cover state: "BLUE NOTE RECORDS, 47 West 63rd St., New York 23". I, therefore, graded the cover as VG++ due to those yellow stains. Otherwise, it would have been NM-.
I WILL PACK THEM STRONG FOR A LONG JOURNEY. DON'T WORRY!
