Description For auction is CHARLES MINGUS' "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady", on Impulse A-35 MONO, 1963. The vinyl is VG+ or better, it has been machine-cleaned and played. Sounds great. The sleeve is VG+ or better with no flaws of note. Gatefold cover is so crisp, it doesn't even lie flat! The photos are of the exact record up for bids. Look before you bid, ask if you want any additional info or pics. A rare record, in great condition. No reserve, starts at $75. I was left over 5000 old jazz albums from a friend who passed away. They are not catalogued nor are they even organized. I'll be going through them a little bit at a time and putting them up for auction. I have one of those cleaning machines and I listen to at least part of every cleaned record. Everything I've listened to "sounds great", and I do mean "great". No pops, hisses, skips, etc. Great sound. Every record is put into a new, clean sleeve insert. In the case of an interesting original sleeve insert, I'll include that in the sale. As for grading, I've reviewed generally accepted guidelines, and I think my grades on the sleeves and the vinyl are conservative. Most everything I've looked at so far is "VG+" or better. If there are any notable flaws that make a record less than VG+, I will point that out. If you're into this stuff, you might want to save me to your seller's list and check back periodically. I don't know much about records but I think they are desirable if you're into this kind of material. Click "see other items" and thanks for looking!
