Beautiful original pressing of this tremendous jazz LP. Afternoon in Paris. John Lewis and Sacha Distel with the amazing tenor sax of Barney Wilen throughout. LP plays beautifully and quiet with full-bodied sound and nice dark soundstage. Clear and crisp. The cover is a work of art and is in NM condition. A top, collectible copy. Archiveable and likely as nice a total package as you will find for this title.
The soundstage on these LPs will be rich, with great background and space. Music will be upfront, full bodied and crystal clear -- the way only vinyl can sound
This LP will play great on your turntable and will be a great addition to your collection.
Side 1: I Cover the Waterfront/ Dear Old Stockholm/ Afternoon in Paris
Side 2: All the Things You Are/ Bags’ Groove/ Willow Weep For Me

About record grading:
Near Mint (NM or M-)
NM records are shiny, with no visible defects when held up to daylight or equal lighting source. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. If played, it will do so with no surface noise.
NM covers have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.
Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint.” Most collectors, especially those who want to play their records, will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if it toward the high end of the grade (sometimes called VG++ or E+).
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.
VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the imperfections found on a VG+ record are more obvious on a VG record. VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible.
VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.
