"the Oscar Pettiford Orchestra in Hi-Fi"

released c. 1956 by ABC Paramount # ABC-135

this is an Original Mono Pressing of a really hard-to-find
title by Oscar Pettiford that plays & sounds great & this record
seems to be a scarce import-only release? (there is a sticker
on the front cover stating "Specially Imported by E.M.I. Records
LTD Under licence from and on payment of royalty to the
British Copyright owners concerned") & this copy comes
with its original printed aBc-Paramount inner-sleeve

~ condition ~


record is in Near Mint - Condition and has been
fully Play Tested and Sounds Fantastic with just a
hint of occasional quiet mellow crackle & soft stray pops
during some of the quieter passages & the vinyl is
extremely shiny & clean with just sligh wear
and has bright clean wear-free labels

see our multiple photos for any additional condition issues

the cover is in fairly nice shape with bold bright
printing & has no seam splits, writing or markings but
does have light edge & corner wear & some spots on the
back cover where tape has been removed leaving some
small stains & there's two small spots where the printing
is peeled away & there is also some light discoloration along
the bottom of the back cover, but the front cover is not
affected and looks nice (there is an e.m.i. sticker)

the aBc Paramount inner-sleeve is in Very Good shape
but does have wear around the edges, including it being
worn-through the centers of two of the edges

displays well & plays nicely

~ Oscar Pettiford ~


along with Charles Mingus, the great Oscar Pettiford
was the top bassist of the 1945-1960 period & was the
successor to the late Jimmy Blanton. Pettiford was also the
first major jazz soloist on the cello & was a true a pioneer
in the Bop Movement. It would have been very interesting to
hear what Pettiford would've done during the avant-garde
'60s if he had not died unexpectedly in 1960

he got his big break in 1943 with Coleman Hawkins and
went on to co-lead an early bBop group with Dizzy Gillespie
and went on to  appear on many records both as a sideman
and a leader, including with Thelonious Monk, Stan Getz
Bud Powell and Kenny Clarke

~ Our Record Condition Guide ~


since everyone has their own ideas about grading the condition
of records, we've decided to spell out how we do it. our descriptions are
also extremely thorough & individually note flaws that a generic condition grade
cannot. we also occasionally assign a + and - for in-between grades

Mint

perfect, never played & usually still factory sealed

Near Mint

nearly perfect with almost no signs of handling

Excellent

the slightest visual wear that in no way interferes with the sound

 Very Good +

light visible signs of handling & wear but well taken care of
and plays with only mellow occasional crackle and/or soft pops but 
nothing interfering with enjoying the record/artwork

Very Good

obviously used & handled, but not mishandled, with no skips,
repeats or bad noise, but with noticeable crackle, pops & soft tics or
artwork defects, but nothing too bad overall

 Very Good -

considerable visible wear & background noise with possible
skips, repeats, tics and cover flaws, but still enjoyable & would
be obviously well-used and somewhat mishandled

So-So

anything below VG- which we rarely sell, except
for really rare records that are worth listing only because
they're so hard to find & sought-after in any condition

Disclaimer

not everyone's turntable sounds & functions the same, but we
have a nice sensitive set-up that makes flaws very obvious to us and we try
to note everything we ear and see. while vinyl is an awesome sounding format,
there is almost always some sort of background noise while listening to a
record. we are just about as picky as anyone, so trust us
but be sure to read our descriptions carefully!
