ART PEPPER — MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION Contemporary C3532 — Original 1957 Mono Issue — FACTORY SEALED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════ STILL FACTORY SEALED — original poly, never opened ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ This is a genuine original copy still sealed in its ORIGINAL factory polyethylene envelope — the welded seal is intact and unbroken. The period Good Time Jazz / Contemporary inserts are trapped INSIDE the sealed poly, visible but not removable: - Good Time Jazz "12-inch Long Playing Hi-Fi Catalogue No. 7" - Contemporary / Good Time Jazz promotional flyer - The "Factory Inspected & Sealed — GRUVE/GARD" guarantee slip   with the red GUARANTEE overprint These correct 1957-era inserts, sealed in, are the authenticity argument: they are exactly what an unopened original should contain and are not something a reseal would reproduce.
NOTE: Because the copy is sealed, the vinyl and labels cannot be inspected and the disc is sold UNGRADED / "as is," as is standard for sealed records. It is presumed unplayed but is not guaranteed to play any specific grade.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════ THE MUSIC ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ One of the most celebrated albums in all of West Coast jazz — Art Pepper (alto) cut spontaneously in a single afternoon with the Miles Davis rhythm section: Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).

═══════════════════════════════════════════════ CONDITION ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ VINYL: Sealed — unopened, ungraded (see above).
JACKET: VG++ (graded through the sealed poly) Front is bright and glossy with excellent color. Back shows honest age: light paper tanning, a small tan stain near the catalog number, and light top-corner wear — all visible through the poly and pictured. Structurally sound; no splits, no tape, no writing on the cardboard.
DISCLOSURE: a handwritten "498" (an old shop price) is on the POLY ENVELOPE, not on the jacket itself.
