KENNY DORHAM Afro Cuban LP on Blue Note (BLP 1535)
Super scarce original blue note copy of this classic! 767 Lexington Ave, NYC on label. Has the ear and "RVG BN-LP-1535" written in the dead wax.

Condition:
Vinyl: Record would grade a nice glossy VG+ throughout, HOWEVER it has a long lightly feelable scratch on side one track two (Lotus Flowers) which runs somewhat parallel to the grooves and causes several clicks and three forward skips on my pioneer turntable. Does not skip on my Technics 1200 however. Could be fixed, but I am not good at that kind of a job. So, I would grade that side more of a VG or VG- due to that one defect. The rest of the tracks on that side would have graded VG+. Side two is a solid VG+. High gloss, just a few light superficial scuffs.

Cover: VG. Rub wear to seams (no splits). Some scratching to top left side of front. Several pieces of tape spanning front the edges of the front and back cover. Small patches of moisture stains on back near right edge.

Please check my other auctions this week for more rare and mostly SUPER clean Jazz LP's on labels like Blue Note, Prestige, Columbia, etc!


MY GRADING SYSTEM:

M- Mint Minus or Near Mint: a record or cover that is practically unused and bears little to no signs of wear.
EX Excellent: Just short of mint, with only the smallest sleeve marks or incidental marks.
VG+ Very Good Plus: records in this grade are very well taken care of and only show the slightest hairline marks. Should still play near perfect if it is a good pressing. Covers will only bear slight wear.
VG Very Good: This is the condition that most old and used (but not abused) records are found in. The record should have a moderately-worn looking surface but no deep scratches. It will still be an enjoyable listen. Covers will bear more advanced seam splitting, corner dings, or writing.
VG- Very Good Minus: This is a record which still has a little life in it, but is likely to be very marked up and may bear deeper scratches, scuffs, etc. Cover may have long seam splits, writing, and water damage.
G Good: This is a record that is very heavily worn but may or may not still play OK. Used and abused. I will only list rare items in this condition. I will occasionally add a + (plus) to this grade to indicate that it plays better than it looks.
P Poor: A record that is so rough that it will most likely not play through without skipping or jumping. Only very rare records will be listed in this grade, and would only serve as a place holder or wall hanger in ones collection.
