THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. 

*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a VG+, looks and plays great.

Record Grade VG+ = ONE OWNER. We purchased this record new in 1959, New York City. Very well maintained. Just listened to both sides of the whole album and it plays beautiful. Little to no surface noise at all. A few surface scratches from playing the record that have no effect on music other than the normal occasional pop sound. No distractions. No Skips. No Jumps. Difficult to find this rare vintage mono recording in such nice condition. (see pictures) 

Jacket Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. We kept it on our shelf in plastic cover all these years. No staining. No writing. No tape. A tiny bit of corner dents from normal shelf use, hardly anything. One very small hardly noticable ding in rear cover over one word in arlbum description. A very clean jacket for a 55 year old album. (see pictures)
