Heavy Joker featuring Max Leth Jun. - Original 1976 Norwegian Pressed Polydor label 9-track LP

Rare original 1976 Polydor label 9-track LP from Weather Report influenced Danish fusion-jazz quartet.

Vinyl is manufactured in Norway for Danish distribution - presented with all red company labels with top label 'half album' logo above midsize , thin fonted company name in white.
Vinyl is a glossy, fully laminated picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a very light degree of sleeve wear only. Labels are mint - vinyl is overall graded near mint.

Picture cover has hardly any wear to laminate - a little light wrinkling from edges - which settles with very marginal laminate lift on back - and a couple of small and light ones parallel to opening.

Cover has light seam wear - very sparse on top seam - more pronounces along lower seam - still light though. Spine has a touch of pressure but is perfectly readable. Opening edges has only light rubbing. Spine corners are extremely nice without any denting or rubbing - opening corners has a touch of rubbing - all in all a delicate cover in a magnificent rarely seen close to near mint/excellent condition. This is overall a very attractive copy.
