Rare MAL WALDRON Mal/3 Sounds LP Original 1958 Mono Prestige RVG LISTEN VG+/VG+

Description

RARE 1958 Mal Waldron - Mal/3 Sounds LP on Prestige Records - 8201. Not a 21st century repress! Original 62 year old Prestige pressing that sounds great! Yellow label, deep groove, RVG in the matrix/dead wax and Bergenfield NJ address. Includes the original wax paper like inner sleeve, but I replaced it with a modern sleeve when I purchased this LP. I'll pack this well, with the LP and original inner sleeve outside of the record jacket, all in a plastic sleeve. Free shipping and insurance included. Actual sound samples from my LP below!

Record Grading Guide

• Mint (M):
  I only use Mint to describe sealed records. Even sealed covers I often won't grade Mint, depending on the condition.


• Near Mint (NM or M-):
  NM records are shiny, with no visible defects. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any spindle marks. When played, it will do so with no surface noise.
  NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind. They may have the original shrinkwrap.


• Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (EX):
  VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole.
  VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking or price sticker.


• Very Good (VG):
  VG records may lack some of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear may be evident, as well as light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has some surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages.
  VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear may be obvious, though not overwhelming. Multiple creases might be visible. Seam splitting can be more obvious, and it may appear on all three sides. Writing, or a price tag, may be present too.


• Good (G), Good Plus (G+), Very Good Minus (VG-):
  Good records may have significant surface noise, groove wear, worn labels, significant ring wear, heavy writing, or other obvious damage.
  Good covers may have ring wear to the point of distraction, seam splits obvious on sight, obvious writing (marker, pen, etc).


• Poor (P), Fair (F):
  Poor records may be heavily scratched, cracked or badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating.
  Poor covers may be water damaged, split on all three seams or heavily marred by wear and writing. The cover may barely keep the LP inside of it.
