BOOKER LITTLE s/t TIME LP rare deep groove stereo original s/2011 nm-

$

110

Artist: Booker Little

Album: Self-titled, s/2011 (deep groove stereo original)

LP Condition: visually this grades quite well at NM- (the highest grade I offer) with just a couple inaudible scuffs on both sides, there are literally less than 5 light pops on the entire record which is pretty great for such an old album. Absolutely no significant imperfections to this LP! This record has probably been played less than a dozen times honestly: you'll have a hard time finding this, you'll have an even harder time finding such a clean copy especially at a reasonable price.  

Cover Condition: Cover grades VG++ due to the 2" seam split as noted in the last picture. Otherwise the cover retains its gloss and has no other notable imperfections or splits.  

Additional Notes: Insanely good and legitimately rare early 60s post bop from Booker Little and company. This is one for the true heads and academics, better than any Miles Davis record, I dare say as sophisticated as any Blue Note LP from the era, even on par with Freddie Hubbard's Open Sesame. 

...

Grading is as-follows: 

NM- As good as it gets for a contact system, practically an untouched record that plays as if it were brand new. 

VG++ A few faint surface marks, nothing that will affect play in any major way, sounds just barely short of brand new. 

VG+ A few more marks than a VG++ record but still sounds plenty clean for listening and/or DJing, your typical used but far from abused copy. 

VG Light scuffs and light scratches throughout, most can't be felt. Expect surface wear throughout the record with light surface noise and possibly a few pops. Should still serve as a suitable player copy for listening & DJing despite the moderate noise. An average 45 coming from the field, noticeable noise here and there that's still secondary to the music.

VG- The record may have some scratches that will be deep enough to feel. Audible clicks and pops are likely consistent throughout the grooves. Should still play well enough for DJing if you're not a stickler. Expect noticeable noise throughout, NO SKIPS though.

G+ A record that has been played and not taken care of. Constant background noise will be present. NO SKIPS but such records are the lowest grade likely to still serve as a cheap filler copy for those in need.

I know everyone has their own opinions on grading, mine are listed above so you'll know exactly what you're buying. If you have any doubt about purchasing a record from me, please do not buy it. I've recorded many of these items so you'll know what you're getting. If you legitimately feel as if my grading is wrong by 2 grades or more, send me a message and I'll work out arrangements for you to return it.
