From Prestige Records (7455), this is SETTING THE PACE by BOOKER ERVIN, a beautiful piece recorded in Munich on October 27, 1965, and released later that same year. This is an original (first) US pressing. Jacket is EX or better showing no split seams only light shelf wear; the LP appears EX+ and play grades same and much higher.

Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.Thoughts for today:What Donald Trump wants is for us to stop calling his cruelty and fear and divisiveness wrong, but tojoin him in calling it right. And this we cannot do. ---Jon Stewart ( b: November 28, 1972) Be a nuisance where it counts. Do your part to inform and stimulate the public to join your action. Be depressed, discouraged, and disappointed at failure and the disheartening effects of ignorance, greed, corruption and bad politics — but never give up. --- Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890 - 1998)
