Wonderful old time 'bluesy' jazz compilation along with an excellent 'bonus' record
Notice the 'different looking' catalogue number (RCA50)?
This release was in recognition of RCA being in Australia for 50 years

1979
Australian release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no tears, no writing, no seam splits and only very light edge wear from normal handling. The bonus record has a special VICTOR black label, mimicking the original release.
New inner plastic liner sleeves
Both vinyl records are in very good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see NO marks or scratches on either record. Just looking at the vinyl isn't a good way to judge the condition, so I then played the ENTIRE release, every track on both records, and there are no issues with surface noise or click/pops
New outer protective sleeve
