Up for bid is what allmusic.com calls one of Ella Fitzgerald's  best live records in her discography. "Although it's full of brilliance, the highlights are clear: a nine-minute scat masterpiece of "Take the 'A' Train," with chorus after chorus of variations, and the shorter but still excellent "Mr. Pananini." (The latter is one of the nods to her early career, along with a set-closing, "Air Mail Special.") The balladry is masterful as well, with "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home" and Satin Doll" high on the list"

CONDITION:  I don't have the equipment to test reel to reels but visually the tape appears to be in great condition.  The box has very minor shelfwear, a small tear on one corner seam; penned note on back totaling how long the tape is.  It's 46:27.  Other than that it appears to have been well taken care of.
