Cat#: TRA 157

Media Condition: Media: Very Good (VG) Noticeable groove wear and light scratches. Surface noise will not overpower the music.
Sleeve Condition: Sleeve: Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl is very clean overall, with minor handling marks/scratches/scuffs that do not affect play. First track on side one has the worst issues, but plays through without skipping or major noise. Cover has some creasing, minor discoloration and other issues, not the prettiest.

AUTOGRAPHED! Vinyl is average or better, plays through with minor surface noise, has a few scratches/scuffs that do not affect play. One little pressing bubble that my turntable plays through without skipping. Gatefold cover shows well, despite lots of ring/shelf/handling wear. I saw the band a few years ago and Andy Powell autographed this record for me in person.

GOLD FOIL PROMO! Nice copy, vinyl is shiny with a few minor scuffs/handling marks. Could use a cleaning. Cover art looks very sharp despite minor creasing, a couple stubbed corners and general shelf/ring wear. Beginning of a soft split in the center of the top edge.

AUTOGRAPHED! TWICE! Rare album of harp music played by Miss Washington 1965. Vinyl is so-so, has one enormous scratch that plays all the way through. (I played the whole LP with no skips, though plenty of crackle.) Cover art looks great despite the expected ringwear; upper left corner looks like a dog bit it. (Ask for photos.) Someone wrote on inner sleeve: KIPPY LOU BRINKMAN/LIVE/DOVE OF THE SEA/DUNES HOTEL/LAS VEGAS, NEV.

Remarkable three-disc set featuring all the hugest names in jazz circa 1960. All vinyl is shiny, with only minor handling marks/scuffs/scratches that do not affect play. Individual album sleeves are all practically like new. Outer box has torn corners but front artwork shows beautifully. No booklet. This is a hell of a set for the money.

BEAUTIFUL DEEP RED VINYL! Extremely clean example of this one. Disc is clean, plays well, sound great with minor surface noise in quiet passages. Cover shows VERY well, clean edges and spine, very little shelf/ringwear, small tear top right at opening. Well above average.

Very clean vinyl, only very minor evidence of prior handling. Black cover art shows a lot of ringwear but the cover itself is very well-kept, with strong edges and corners. Small hole punch lower right. A country classic — cheap heat!

WOW! EXC condition all around, vinyl appears virtually unplayed. Cover is sharp, too, not 100% flawless but *very* presentable, with beautiful, eye-popping color artwork. Top seam is split at the opening for about three inches but not visible from the front. Very hard to believe this is almost 70 years old!
