Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, darker discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; slight discoloration on back. Inner-sleeve is poly-lined paper with initials near top-right on one side. Spine is easy-to-read (text is crooked) with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
The Best of is a compilation album collecting recordings made by jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. The album was released shortly after his death as a part of the "Atlantic Jazz Anthology"—a series of greatest hits compilations for Atlantic jazz artists—and features performances from his brief period recording for Atlantic with new liner notes by jazz journalist Nat Hentoff.
