Prestige 7084, "Olio" with Thad Jones, Frank Wess, Teddy Chalres, Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins, Elvin Jones, from 1957.  Original W.50th St. vinyl plays at NM with isolated bits of static.  Laminated jacket has original loose outer sleeve from the days before shrink wrap; seams are strong and free of wear except for 3" (7-8 cm) of cracking at top center; squared-off spine with printed LP information is in excellent condition; there is a 1" (3 cm) corner bump at upper right which has loosened the laminate a bit.  The jacket back is quite age-colored (see scan) but has no writing or stamps.  Tracks are "Hello Frisco", "Potpourri", "Dakar", "Blues without Woe", "Embraceable You", and "Touche".  Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire.  Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil.  Additional LPs in one package are $1.00 per extra LP in the U.S. and Canada, $3.00 per extra LP overseas.  I dislike low-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer does.  Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3)  they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal mailers to provide further protection.  All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs.  The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package).  No record should arrive in a condition worse than described!  Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded.  All opened LPs are play-graded on a VPI turntable with Audioquest tonearm.
