J.J. Johnson - The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson Volume 1 (LP, Comp, Mono, RP) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

Released in 1957

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good (VG)

LP plays NM with the exception of one spot on track 2 that has audible surface noise for a few rotations & doesn't skip or overpower the music. Jacket is very nice looking with minor shelf wear, price tag residue & corner wear. The top & bottom of the jacket are split at opening that extends nearly half way across. I've got this record in a nice archival quality inner sleeve but nothing I use of that quality wants to fit all the way in. It sticks out of the opening a little.
