DUKE ELLINGTON Plays The Blues (Rare 1952 Canadian 8-track deep groove mono 10" LP on heavyweight vinyl, first released on shellac in 1947! The pasted picture sleeve has a wonderful piano design & some glowing album notes from Leonard Featheron the back. The cover shows only light, natural wear to the paper & the sturdy card has kept the panels in Excellent condition with all text legible & unblemished. There is a very minor price sticker tear in the top right corner on the front& a thin 2" hairline split in the bottom opening edge which can easily be taped. The spine is glorious with all print including the small 'nipper' logo, still clearly visible. The vinyl shines bright & grades Excellent, with merely a few faint paper hairlines not affecting play LPM3067)
