57

John Coltrane's seminal "Live at Birdland" MONO LP on Impulse Records up for bid! This 51 year old record looks and sounds as if it was pressed yesterday! An original press--amazing and rare example!

Cover-- (NM- to NM Gorgeous inside and out--Beautiful, shiny with barely a hint of wear noticeable! Nearly flawless!)

Vinyl-- (NM- to NM Looks & plays nearly new--No noticeable flaws on vinyl & sounds divine!)

 **Record has been play & visually graded**

**All photos are of ACTUAL item(s) being sold**

GRADING:   (RECORDS/COVERS ARE VISUALLY and/or PLAY GRADED)

             MINT: Sealed in factory shrink-wrap, no wear at all to cover--Brand new

             NM (near mint): An opened record that has no marks, high gloss, no signs in dead wax of ever being played. Covers are firm, clear and straight and have no sign of wear

             NM-: Barely a faint sleeve scuff or very superficial mark only noticeable under bright light. Cover has minor imperfection barely noticeable

             EX: Glossy and may look near mint under normal light. Under bright light, shows some signs of light use. Cover has very light shelf wear

             EX-: in between VG+ and EX.

            VG+: record shows signs of normal use. may have some light surface scuffs/scratches, may have lost some luster but generally still looks to be in decent playing condition. mostly these will only have light background surface noise in places. covers will have some general shelf wear but still held together nicely.

           VG: record shows several surface scuffs/scratches. Still worth listening to but may have more noticeable surface noise in places. Cover will have a more noticeable defect like seam wear, corner bends, etc., but still acceptable. I try to be conservative as this is a very subjective grade and seems to be the most abused. this grade may be used to reflect one very noticeable flaw or the accumulation of more than one lesser flaws.

           VG-: between VG and G. maybe ok as a filler copy until you get a better one.

            G: Generally rough shape. shows many scratches. Sometimes plays better than it looks but may skip or pop. You’re taking your chances with this one. Covers will have heavy wear, but not totally trashed

I strive to be accurate and honest in assessing the record(s), grading conservatively--Please ask for more pics or questions BEFORE bidding-All sales final
