Vinyl plays nicely; a few light hairlines (play-graded). Die-cut cover with window, reflective lettering on front, and flap (attached and in good condition) looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (photos/credits). Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Shelf-wear along all other edges and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. Track A8 is incorrectly printed on sleeve and innersleeve as Waling By The River. It is printed correctly on label. (Top-left corner is cut.)
The ABC Collection, by Della Reese, is an amalgamation of much of the great music that has been written over the years. From Johnny Mercer's Travlin' Light to the classic Do I Worry, Lil Green's In the Dark, and Della's own Ev'ry Evenin' Blues. These must all be considered blues classics with lives and histories of their own. And Della Reese surely does a superb job of handling these and several other songs of another vintage and this is the best of Della Reese.
