Vinyl: JONI MITCHELL Blue - 1971 1st Press Reprise LP - GORGEOUS EX+

This is a rare absolutely gorgeous original 1971 first pressing copy of Joni Mitchell's classic of classics, Blue, on Reprise LP MS-2038. The disc is on the original label with no Warner logo. It is pretty close to completely perfectly mint. I only see the absolute slightest sleeve scuffing. Plays nearly flawlessly and just beautifully. One of the best playing copies I have come across that wasn't actually new. Just beautiful. You know that the music is very quiet and delicate on this album and the slightest tick can really ruin the listening experience. You won't have any issues listening to this copy. It plays near perfectly. The cover has very little of the usual wear this record normally has. Just a touch of very faint ringwear on the back, and some very minor edge and corner wear. Really a well-preserved copy! It is easily one of the better first-pressing covers I have ever seen. Usually this cover is very worn, even when it was well cared-for. Almost all copies have terrible ringwear and fading. This is a very nice copy in remarkably clean shape. Hard to beat.
