FROM THE BACK LINER NOTES BY IRA GITLER: Friday is Prestige Day at Van Gelder's. Either recording, tape editing or master cutting is carried on. The Friday that this particular session was cut, the gathering was an informal one. Many of the musicians had played together before and the ones who hadn't were familiar with each other's work.

WITH THE ORIGINAL WAX PAPER INNER SLEEVE(SPLIT SIDES)

FRONT LACQUERED COVER WITH ONLY A MINIMAL HINT OF RUB WEAR. LEFT EDGE TOWARDS TOP HAS A FEW SMALL ROUGH SPOTS. BACK WHITE CARD STOCK COVER WITH SOME RING AND RUB WEAR AND AGE DISCOLORATION.

VIRGIN SPINDLE HOLE ON A VERY CLEAN AND SHINY BLACK PRESSING. VINYL APPEARS TO NEVER HAVE MET A TURNTABLE OR SEEN MUCH LIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE.

RARELY SEEN IN THIS UNUSUALLY PRISTINE CONDITION

GRADING & POLICIES: All records are visually graded. Grading indicates state of vinyl (covers noted separately). If I've listened to an LP, note will be made about sound quality. The following is a general overview about grades, subject to any above notations: MINT indicates pristine vinyl without any marks on surface. MINT MINUS may contain one or two very light surface marks from play or sleeve wear under light. If you are a real collector, you'll know that even a factory sealed LP occasionally has some light sleeve or rub marks. Anything in the VG category would contain more than two surface marks or have some other visible signs of ring or hole wear. Rarely do I offer something in the "G" state. If I do, it's usually a rare LP and priced accordingly. Values are assigned according to market availability and rarity, not a price guide.

PAYMENT: PAYPAL is my preferred method for your payment. I like to ship your records out within 2-3 days of payment, so using PAYPAL gets the records to you ASAP and concludes the transaction. Contact me after the auction if your PAYPAL payment or another method of payment will be delayed so I know what's going on. Shipping charge applies to any number of LPs in the U.S. and for up to two records foreign(three or more foreign please contact me for correct air quote).
