Condition :-
The sleeve has survived over half a century in remarkable condition & remains in Very Good order. The panels are clean with no writing or major splits & there are some natural creases caused from ring wear & the flimsy nature of its design, leading to the odd tiny thumbnail rupture or pinch mark on the spine, all print is clearly legible. Certainly one for the Jazz archives.
The heavyweight vinyl has been professionally cleaned & play tested. The disc reaches a Very Good grade. Visually speaking, there are multiple hairlines, some paper scuffs & spindle marks either side, but no heavy scratches - thanks to the high quality British vinyl pressings of this era, playback remains impressive. There is a little faint background noise during the quieter sections & some very light crackle during the first track to be expected due to its age & conditions, with no jumps or sticks. Once the album gets going & particularly on the louder numbers, it's a really enjoyable listen on its intended mono playback setting, & of course the performances are exceptional. Although far from mint, this remains a serviceable example of a highly in demand Modern Jazz LP from Britain on the famous Tempo imprint, it goes without saying original copies are long washed up & near impossible to find! It's our first & only example of this mythical British Jazz treasure, unlikely to be seen again...
