Description

I inherited this Lp from my dad who was a jazz radio dj for over 50 years. This is one of many Lps he brought home from the radio station. It has a small stamp inside the gatefold sleeve that says “Property of WCMF.” There are a few spindle marks on either side. Side B of the vinyl looks essentially mint, no scuffs at all. Side A has a long, light non-feeler scratch that doesn’t seem to affect playback. If you look really carefully there are a few super light scuffs, probably from the inner sleeve. There is a little light surface noise and a few pops here and there. In general, this is a nice sounding copy. The sleeve presents a strong excellent. The lower right corner is cut, probably because it was a radio demo. The spine and the other edges are in great shape. There are no seam splits or ring wear. There is one small corner bump. The other corners are clean. Please see all pics. The original  inner sleeve is present but has splits on all sides (see pics). Record will be shipped in proper Lp mailer with stiffeners, poly sleeve for the vinyl and corner protection.
