Condition : -
The pasted picture sleeve, complete with original catalogue inner, has survived over half a century in spectacular condition. Cannonball Adderley's name is misspelt 'Adderly' & 'Flamenco Sketches' is listed before 'All Blues' [the labels list them the other way round]. The colours are still bright & vivid & both sides clean, with clearly legible text all over including along the spine. There are no splits & just the lightest few cosmetic blemishes on the front panel barely noticeable. The edges reveal just the lightest signs of shelf wear, astonishing considering it's unlaminated. A beautiful example, graded Excellent.
The matrix numbers in the trail off are hand scratched 'XLP47324-1BC' & machine stamped 'XLP47325-1J' either side. Regarding the letters, the myth goes that Columbia worked through the alphabet, first with single then double letters (A to NJ, B to Indiana, C to CA & so on).
The heavyweight vinyl is super clean & plays like a dream with minimal surface noise & no distortion. The labels are clean with just the lightest evidence of play by the spindle area. The vinyl is graded EX+ with just the softest of vinyl ambience during the classic intro to So What. Simply wonderful this album... pure aural ambrosia!
