Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers 1959 Stereo - 47 W 53rd 1rst Stereo Press "RVG Stereo", "INC", "(R)", Plastylite "P"

Vinyl is very shiny, clean, with wisps and hairlines on (particularly Side B). Jacket is gorgeous, shiny, with very minor chipping and has shiny embossed "Stereo" in front.
PLAY TESTED. Below are my super critical notes during intense review over my high end audio system. No surface noise on either side. 
Side A has intermittent crackle. This is not surface noise because it is not pervasive, there are definite pauses (sometimes long) between crackles. 
Side B is very clean with one very soft crackle near the start and an audible tick twice right before the end of the record. 
The whole record is a very enjoyable listen. Volume of the crackles is really very low and not distracting. The tick on the end of Side B is noticeable but not very loud and is very quick.
