Don't judge a book (record) by it's cover!
While the cover of this album has suffered some graphic damage due to dampness, the music is great. This is Australian jazz at it's finest and I must say, the sound recording is pretty amazing too ... I test played the album using a NAD - LEAK setup and the instruments sound so good.
THE RAY PRICE QINTET - Jazz Party No 1
Dixie Records
Cat# RPQ 001
1975
Australian release
Cover is in good (minus) condition, meaning that there is no personal writing, no seam splits, no tears and only normal light edgewear ... HOWEVER, it is pretty obvious that the rear of the cover was sitting in one of my boxes of vinyl which suffered dampness and when the covers were separated, off came some of the rear graphics!
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches or marks on either side. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the album ENTIRELY on both sides and there are no issues with surface noise nor clicks/pops - just great jazz from Ray Price and the boys - enjoy!
