London By Night - 1960 US Liberty label 2nd pressing 12-track Stereo LP

Scarce 1960 US Liberty label 2nd pressing 12-track LP - classy and smoky-voiced, downbeat jazz and pop crooners superb nocturnal 'narrative of a lovelorn woman finding true love, getting dumped, and wandering around sadly until finding romantic redemption'* - a companion piece to Sinatra's great 'In The Wee Small Hours'.

Vinyl has the generic black and silver printed company labels with left side spectral or colour-band area with mid golden integrated Statue of Liberty and shield logo displaying the company name in white.

Vinyl is housed in an era specific company add inner sleeve - ultimately in a back pasted and thick picture cover.

Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl is still superlustrous and has a few light and far from audible scuffs and lines - too much for a near mint grading. Labels are mint - vinyl overall graded close to near mint/excellent.

Front cover has a touch of top and bottom ringwear - back is wonderfully clean with hardly any signs of play or handling

Seams are intact but with light wear to top and botton seams - spine is easily readable with a single couple of mm's point of wear - just after artist name. Opening edges has no rubbing.

Lower opening corner has a touch of wear, top spine corner hardly any - lower spine corner some and top opening corner a very marginal dent.

All in all a series of more marginal imperfections which has little influence on the viewing of the cover - mostly edge and corners orientated - graded cat least VG+ - a very nice copy of this more than 50 years old album.
