Vinyl plays with crackles and occasional clicks and pops (play-graded). Cover looks good; a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; slight discoloration with darker discoloration spots on back. Inner-sleeve is original (brown); one seam partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top-edge with split near right; bottom-edge is completely split. Wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Glenn Miller never lived to see the LP era, but the continued popularity of his music made him a prime candidate for the new format once it took hold at the end of the '50s. This was the second of two 10" LPs (also issued concurrently as a set of EPs) from the early '50s, drawing on seven of Glenn Miller's more popular instrumental recordings made between 1938 and 1941. With "Moonlight Serenade," "Tuxedo Junction," "A String of Pearls," and more, it couldn't miss with a public eager to feed their new LP turntables. Though this platter has been supplanted by countless subsequent reissues, it does have nice packaging and a thoughtful essay, of which the second half is generic to this series of Miller releases.
