LP: (Graded) Near Mint, according to Goldmine record grading definitions. This record grades as an LP that appears to either have been handled or played on a small number of occasions only in the most cautious manner possible but picked up one faint surface sleeve scuff somewhere along the way.  The plating surfaces are pristine with as new glossiness and the labels are in outstanding shape with no spindle trails. The record is also exceptionally clean and turntable ready.

Play Graded: Near Mint Plus -  This LP, in terms of absence of surface noise, is as close to the quietness of a Compact Disc as any vinyl pressing ever gets. So, on the below linear graph, the in between tracks rating is 9.8 or better and during song selections, is 9.8 or better.  The quietness of digital and the richness of analog. The sonics, in terms of clarity, dynamics, imaging, balance and definition, are magnificent.  I just also have to observe that in comparison to the High Fidelity edition of this recording, the dimension of Stereo really transforms the performances in a startling way. It really is an amazing difference in terms of the listening experience. Atlantic also seems to have required a substantially more pure grade of vinyl on this release as compared to the Mono version.

Cover: (Graded) Near Mint  -  The front cover is a gorgeous glossy laminate with extremely light degree of shelfwear anywhere on the cover. All solid seams and fully legible spine printing. Retains original issue old school rice paper innersleeve, but will be shipped in a new, clean, white paper inner.
