Vinyl plays with crackles and a few light-clicks (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; slight discoloration on back. Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; some wear to corners. Top-edge has text and is mostly easy-to-read and split near center. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Black label. Label variation. (Not a cut-out.)
Like all good music, the music of Glenn Miller transcends national boundaries. The music the orchestra played at home and in foreign lands was exactly the same as it has etched into this historic vinyl-much of the music just as Glenn had played it with his band, some of it with modern Ray McKinley trimmings. Nine of the selections are instrumentals, revealing the sprightliness and spirit of the current Miller crew. The remaining three feature the band's singers. This elegantly recorded and rewarding indication of just where this famous sort of music has been going of late-geographically as well as musically. Most certainly, as you will hear, it has not been standing still!
