THE PICTURES YOU SEE ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM YOU ARE BIDDING ON.  I NEVER USE "STOCK" PICTURES THAT HIDE BLEMISHES OR OTHER PROBLEMS.

 

 

ITEM:     "Recital By Billie Holiday",  by Billie Holiday. Original USA pressing on the Clef Records Deep Groove label, catalog number MG C 686 HI-FI.  (NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE LATER RE-ISSUE LP ON VERVE RECORDS, IT IS THE ORIGINAL CLEF LP).   Cover artwork is a David Stone Martin rendering.

COMMENTS/CONDITION:    This LP came from a private collection - it is not a beat up item bought at a yard sale. The record was visually graded, and was test played. Grading is according to Goldmine Standards. If you are not familiar with that system, please go to the Goldmine web site and read the grading details BEFORE YOU BID.


Vinyl is in a VG+  condition with a nice glossy luster.  There are no bad warps, deep scratches, cracks, chips, or groove wear. The record does have a very slight lift (warp) that does not have any effect upon the tracking or playback. On close inspection under a bright light source, a few superficial scuffs/hairlines can be detected, which are cosmetic only, and do not affect the playback or enjoyment of the recordings. On my older system, both sides played quietly with no skips, groove lock, or harsh background noise. There were a few audible soft clicks  near the beginning of track 1 on Side 2. NOTE: Sound quality will vary from system to system. The above comments are included strictly as reference, and are not a statement as to the experience you will have with your equipment.

The inner sleeve is the original studio rice paper sleeve.

Both labels are in very good, clean condition with no peeling edges, rips, writing, or stains. Original silver on black label with the trumpeter graphic (also drawn by David Stone Martin).  The center hole is perfectly round and shows no signs of repeated playing.

Cover is in VG condition with crisp, bright colors and graphics. This is NOT a cut-out - NO drill holes, notches, or clipped corners. There are no stickers, labels, price tags, tape, or writing. There is a 3 inch split in the top seam at the opening edge, and moderate chipping along the spine. The back cover has some age tanning and scraping of the paper overlay along the right side. There are four numbers written in pencil on the top right corner.

Please see the attached high resolution photos for close up, detailed views, so you can judge for yourself the condition of cover and record
