Even though this record has no feelable scratches I have to grade it at VG due to the presence of a fair amount of surface marks and a few concentric turntable scuffs on the A-side; A-side will play with some scattered surface noise and scattered ticks even though nothing is feelable.  B-side grades at a high VG+ with just a few light surface marks which cannot be felt and do not affect play.  Condition of cover is a low VG+ with a fair amount of ring and contact wear and some general wear along the edges and on the corners.  '27 Years Blue Note' inner sleeve has a small tear in its top edge and some wrinkles.  I have priced this LP modestly due to the A-side condition issues, I will leave it to the bidders to determine its final value - This LP would be a nice addition to any Blue Note Records or modern jazz record collection!  Media mail postage within the U.S. is $4.00. I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE - PLEASE NOTE: NEW FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S EXCEPT FOR CANADA (17.50) AND GERMANY is $22.00 - YES IT'S CRAZY, THIS IS THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE AS OF 1/27, NOT ME!!!  PLEASE NOTE: AN EXTRA $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY WILL BE ADDED TO ALL SHIPMENTS VALUED OVER $50.00 GOING TO BUYERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.  ALSO, DUE TO THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS CONTINUING FAILURE TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES, I AM FORCED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL $13.95 TO COVER REGISTERED POSTAGE WITH TRACKING AND SIGNATURE DELIVERY TO ALL SHIPMENTS GOING TO GERMANY.  I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, BUT I CANNOT CONTINUE TO LOSE MONEY AND HAVE MY EBAY REPUTATION DAMAGED BY THE GERMAN POST AND CUSTOMS' INABILITY TO DELIVER MY PACKAGES.  Please e-mail me for postage rates to other areas outside the U.S.!   BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the LP in the above stated condition if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
