Notes

Max Roach performs by courtesy of Bob Shad, Mercury Record Corp. Recorded on December 16, 1956.
LP is VG+, with light scuffs and a couple of light scratches on either side. LP retains a nice gloss. Interior labels are very clean. LP plays with some surface noise (crackle, tics, and several pops) with no skips. Surface noise should be reduced with a professional clean. Listen to an excerpt from several songs from this actual LP, for reference:






Jacket is VG+, with a seam split on the bottom seam. This starts at the front bottom right corner and travels toward the spine 5 1/2 inches. There is wear on all seams and corners. There are several small scuffs and scratches on the front of the jacket.  There is writing in blue ink in the top left corner on the back of the jacket (see pictures). There is writing in pencil near the center of the top of the back of the jacket (see pictures). This is a very nice copy of this very rare, extremely sought after LP. Don't miss this gem!
