M-, EX+, EX, EX-, VG+ and so on down the line. That Lee Morgan is probably translatable to a VG at best.

I make do with a mint Japanese Phillips issue of “dusk fire”. “Shades of blue” is the album I’m after but that’s just as expensive as an original “dusk fire” if not more! So likely not going to happen; at least if I want to keep my wife and two kids haha..

It’s out of my reach at these prices. “Phase III” usually attracts less of a premium. Fortunately, I don’t need to follow the “Live” auction because I found a clean copy at a fair price in my local second hand record store last year.

It has the sticker from a record store in Milwaukee on the back, along with the date that it was purchased, 9-25-56, in ink. Somehow, those little personal touches add to the pleasure of owning it. I’m going to listen to it later today or tomorrow.
