Vinyl plays with crackles and occasional clicks and pops (play-graded). Cover looks good; a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing, slight discoloration with darker discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back); name faintly written near top-right on front. Inner-sleeve is generic white. Spine has no text and shows some wear; split from center to bottom. Shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
This well-rounded LP mostly contains old favorites like Bugle Call Rag, Sing, Sing, Sing and Avalon along with the recently composed Balkan Mixed Grill. There are some good moments from pianist Roland Hanna, tenor great Zoot Sims and trumpeter Taft Jordan, but BG is the main star.
