1976 Charles Mingus - Mingus Plays Piano - A Masterpiece Rare Japanese pressing. Few copies are listed on Discogs, and it's expensive. Label: Impulse! – YP-8542-AI, ABC Impulse! – YP-8542-AI Series: Impulse Best Collection – 42 Gatefold, deluxe gatefold jacket. After taking photos, I've quickly cleaned it with a NAGAOKA record cleaner. I've played it a few times after purchasing it. The record surface has faint, slight scratches if you look closely, but it's a beautiful, near-mint record. There are stains on the jacket. Please understand. There are no skips in my environment. (Played on a Technics SL-1200 series with an M44g cartridge at the appropriate stylus pressure.) A very rare record. For those who are looking for it. I haven't confirmed any major damage other than what's mentioned above, but please consider this if you prefer new items or are not comfortable with used items. Please forgive any oversight of minor scratches, and any claims of issues with portable players that may cause the outer edge to lift. *Due to the nature of the product, we cannot accept returns for any reason, to prevent swapping, etc. As mentioned above, please forgive any claims or returns regarding the condition of the product.
