NOTES: A real gem in the catalog. Owned by a top Japanese collector and owner of a prominent Osaka shop. Unclear if a better copy of this title has ever sold. The majority of the session plays with no surface noise. Couldn't find anything during playback worth noting, other than minor rotational noise on Side A, Track 1—quite common for a record of this era. Side 2 is pure silence with Flanagan's keys shining.

OVERALL GRADE: NM
