Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane--1st Press Mono Prestige New Jazz NJLP-8276. Kenny Burrell (g), John Coltrane (ts), Tommy Flanagan (p), Paul Chambers (b), Jimmy Cobb (d). Recorded in Van Gelder Studios, NJ, 3/7/58. On the dead wax: Inscribed 'DM' on the A-Side. On both sides, Van Gelder stamp and an inscribed 'A1'.
Vinyl: Near Mint Minus... Plays beautifully with just a few scattered ticks of the barely-audible variety. The sound-quality is simply superb. New-looking vinyl with just one or two very superficial blemishes. Clearly a rarely-played record. A top copy.
Covers: Excellent... Still in original shrink-wrap although a one-half-inch strip along the opening is exposed. In very fine shape with no fraying, seam splits, just a shadow of ring-wear and a well-protected front graphic.
Combined shipping is always available with no mark-up--you just pay for what it costs to ship (and of course the more disks the less per record).
Packaging includes new audiophile inner sleeve, original inner sleeve, new outer sleeve, cardboard padding, bubble-wrap and a thick cardboard record box.

Note on Visual Grading vs Play-Testing

A personal and non-professional opinion

It disturbs me that record buyers do not to insist on, or even seem to prefer, play-testing to visual grading. I believe that visual grading (although necessary) is totally insufficient for grading a record.

Why Visual Grading...Some dealers insist that they can do it very accurately (after years of experience, etc)... But I don't believe it. The fact is that play-testing is very time-consuming. It involves not just the actual playing of the record but the preliminary cleaning, which is crucial and time-consuming in itself. For large-scale dealers this is an insurmountable obstacle. Hence the best thing, from their point of view, is to foster the myth that visual grading is fine. It also has the very important added benefit of protecting the seller since if a record looks nice but is full of ticks the seller has a defense—it looked NM- so I graded it NM-.

Why Visual Grading Doesn't Work... One reason visual grading in general can't work is that the quality of the vinyl is invisible to the naked eye. And there was a steady deterioration in the quality of vinyl used from the 1950s to the late 1970s. Instead of pure new vinyl, by the end of the LP era, record producers were using recycled vinyl, old tires or anything else that could be re-processed. Most new records from the 1970s have ticks baked into the vinyl, sometimes a whole lot of them... (In addition, vinyl records became exceedingly thin in the passing years, another problem).

Another Reason Why Visual Grading Doesn't Work... Scratches on the vinyl are, of course, visible and cause consecutive clicks or pops. But low-volume ticks and slight background noise are, by far, the most common defects and it is very, very hard to determine whether a light mark on the vinyl will affect the play-back without listening to the record.

What Marks on the Vinyl Mean and What Buyers Need to Understand...If a seller says that there are various marks on the vinyl but they do not affect play, most buyers immediately downgrade the record. The only conceivable reason for this is that they believe that somehow, with additional playing, the very superficial hairline scratch will become deeper and start to cause clicks. I have seen no evidence to support this view. If one uses a properly-calibrated good-quality cartridge/stylus (set at less than 2 grams) I do not believe that non-sounding marks can “become” clicks or background noise, for the simple reason that the stylus is below the level of the surface defect.

Lack of Information Should Not Be Rewarded ... I have seen this time and again: A visual grader will say “Just superficial paper scuffs” grade it NM- or VG++ and this copy will be preferred to that of the seller who also grades it VG++ but says it plays with occasional ticks and a couple of seconds of low-volume background noise. To me this is pure nonsense. Buyers are paying a premium to a seller for withholding information. The fact is that almost every used record plays with some ticks (and quite a few brand new ones, too). Not knowing that (by not listening to the record) should not be a reason for paying significantly more to a seller.

The Wonderful World of Visual Grading ... Most of the terminology used by visual graders has very little specific meaning. Here is an example from a clearly honest seller, but what could it possibly mean?... “RECORD CONDITION: VG (LIGHT SLEEVE MARKS).” (This record sold for $100 on 17 bids.) On the other hand, you can find innumerable examples of the following: “RECORD CONDITION: NM- (LIGHT SLEEVE MARKS).” What does this imply?

I suppose it implies Caveat Emptor. Comments are welcome...
