Very 'contemporary' feeling jazz album, musicians performing are:
Billy Cobham - percussion

USA release
Cover is in good condition, no writing, no seam splits, no tears with only light edge wear from normal handling but just a bit 'tired' looking due to the predominately white background showing every little mark!
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl record is in good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see a few very light ~ light marks or scratches on each side. Just looking at a piece of shiny plastic often doesn't 'cut it', especially when it is almost 50 years old! I then joyfully played this album ENTIRELY, each side, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or click/pops - a couple of click/pops on the opening track of Side A but nothing that spoils the enjoyment of this very good jazz music.
