Description: Offered here is one of the greatest Jazz albums of all time: CHARLES MINGUS “MINGUS AH UM” In Rare, almost impossible to find “SEALED” condition! This album is the 1971 reissue of the original 1959 release. it has the CBS Columbia label - red with orange ‘Columbia’ printed around the circumference of the label. The album is still in original factory sealed condition. It does however have a few minor faults which include a 1 1/2 “ and a 1/2 “ small tear of the shrink wrap along the top of the jacket. Also, a corner ding on bottom that broke through the shrink wrap. These are pictured in the photos provided. I have been selling my collection here over the past 2 years (which was large and mostly Jazz) due to my advanced age, and would hate to see these records go to waste. I have come down to the last batch, and will be selling my favorites in the near future. ( the ones that are hard to part with). This is one of those. ✅Shipping is free to U.S. destinations via USPS Media mail. _____ Please refer to the photos for a more detailed description of the contents and the conditions of the vinyl and cover(s).

Mint (M) Vinyl: Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed. Near Mint (NM or M-) Vinyl: A nearly perfect record. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover will have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. The same will be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. *NM- just not quite NM but much better than EX Excellent (EX) or Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) May have more then a few spindel marks May have some paper scuffs, rub marks but NO scratches. Any blemishes are only cosmetic. Very Good Plus (VG+) Vinyl: A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's overall listening experiences but may have minimal light background noise. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. Very Good (VG) Vinyl: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. Good Plus (G+) Vinyl: A record in Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
