Erroll Garner - Play It Again, Erroll Vinyl Record

This item is an original long-playing (LP) vinyl record album featuring jazz pianist Erroll Garner, titled 'Play It Again, Erroll.' The cover art features a prominent stylized illustration of Garner's profile in earthy brown tones against a vibrant, textured purple background. He is depicted holding a cigarette, with a smaller black-and-white inset photo in the upper left corner showing him seated at a piano. The typography for 'ERROLL GARNER' is large and white in the upper left corner, while the album title is smaller in the top right. The physical sleeve is constructed of standard heavy cardstock typical of mid-20th-century record pressings. Notable condition issues include significant 'ring wear' where the circular impression of the record inside is visible on the cover art, as well as distinct edge wear, corner fraying, and surface abrasions that have caused some loss of original ink. There are visible creases and small indentations on the front surface. This specific compilation was released around 1974 by Columbia Records. The craftsmanship of the cover reflects the graphic design trends of the 1970s jazz scene, prioritizing mood and artist personality over high-fidelity photography. The overall condition appears to be 'Good' to 'Very Good' (G/VG) on the Goldmine grading scale, assuming the interior vinyl matches the exterior wear pattern.
