Description

media: VG - does have some scuffs/scratches

sleeve: VG+

I belive this is a 1961 U.S 1st press with black / orange labels. the first press here has the abstract cover and opposed to later pressing with a photo of oliver nelson. RVG stereo stamped into deadwax / matrix


Record has been cleaned with a humminguru ultrasonic cleaner. I have played album front to back and it does play good for its age. I play on a newer audio technica lp3 with the 95C blue needle / stylus.

From what i heard on my player, It does have some surface noise. most notable noise is on side 2 track 1 “yearnin”. given that its 65’ years old i think its pretty good shape. 



Free shipping and free pickup from loveland Colorado is being offered.
