ELLA FITZGERALD & LOUIS ARMSTRONG ● PORGY & BESS ● 1959 UK Double Vinyl LP ● VG+/VG+
Time to move on some of my collection of the last 50 years otherwise they will just languish in their case, probably never to be played, by me, again.
Over various lockdowns, and now retirement, I have re-played all of my collection and I have graded this as follows:-
VG+/VG+
Ella
Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Porgy &
Bess

Vinyls - Display quite a few light, fine, paper scuffs/hairlines. Some on side C are very visible & 2 are just about feelable. Played all sides, all through & except for odd random light tick there's absolutely minimal, close to zero crackle/background noise, a very listenable copy.
Cover - Laminated Gatefold Picture sleeve, almost no edge wear, minor corner wear, booklet still attached inside, price in biro inside cover, a really good, solid cover.
Inners - Original paper + poly liner
Includes 12-page inner booklet.
Advertised as a new release in Gramophone magazine, June 1959
