Van Gelder and "ear" machine engraved on both sides 

 This thick, heavy vinyl retains its fine original sheen and looks carefully played a few times

Plays very clean on both sides with NO noticeable blemishes as tics, clicks, skips, surface or background noise

Superb high fidelity sound !

COVER : NEAR MINT / EXCELLENT+

1st original thick cardboard jacket 

 The front side retains its striking, crisp original shape with NO shelf wear

 Graded as such (NM) only because of a slightest hint of neatly repaired early flaking on the tight top seam, barely visible and not affecting the integrity of the artwork whatsoever !

  Tight bottom seam and fully readable spine:  INTACT with NO wear (see pic)

With NO ring-wear, NO dog-eared corners, NO seam splits, NO tears, NO stamps, NO holes

43 West 61st Street, New York 23 address on the back side, graded as such (EX+) because of extremely pale aging spots and a couple of "ink" writings (tracks timing)
