ere we have Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers’ Caravan, Riverside 438 (mono).
This one is in nice shape, but the cover does have some wear to it. It is mostly simply normal aging, with some imperfections zoomed-in so you can better assess them. There is not any deep damage to the cover, but it has shelf wear, and there is some discoloration on the back. The name/title has a couple slitls like from a knife or razor -not deep, and zoomed in to see more clearly. I also zoomed in on some flaking to the top and bottom edges, and a factory imperfection in the back cover.
As for the wax, it looks really clean for the most part – some super light wispy stuff from storage, more on side one than side two. Looks to me like it’ll play at a NM for most of it, with an occasional pop from a light scuff…not overpowering the music, but more a background part of it.
