$

195

Title:   Jazz at Massey Hall

Artist:   "Charlie Chan," Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Max Roach and Charlie Mingus

Label & Number:     Debut DEB-124

Mono/Stereo:   Mono

Defects:   None

Record Condition (1 to 10 scale):   10  (see detailed description below)

Sleeve Condition:   Excellent - no split seams, rounded corners, heavy wear or any other problem.  The only defect is a small red star that has been affixed to the back.  The cover shows just a little light shelf wear.

Comments:  This record originally came enclosed in a clear poly inner sleeve.  Luckily, the original owner kept the record in this protective sleeve, as there is no wear on the lead in area or on the outer tracks.  Actually, I would venture to say that the record has been played only a couple of times.  There are no spindle trails, fingerprints, or any wear on the label itself.  This does NOT look like an LP that was made nearly 60 years ago - it looks brand new.
So who is "Charlie Chan"?  The concert was recorded in 1953 and according to the liner notes, he died four days later.  His picture is on the album cover, but only from the shoulders down.  Here's a hint:  how many "Charlies" can you think of who would be able to play with these other four incredible bop musicians?
The book value of this record in it's condition is $300.00.  We'll start lower than that, but if you're serious about owning a truly unique jazz LP in top condition, then give this opportunity some serious consideration.  It may be a long time before you see another copy.  As always, your questions are welcome, and we'll do our best to answer them promptly.
Featured This Week:  We normally offer only 78 rpm records, but we came across a jazz LP collection that was just too good to pass up.  All records in this collection appear to be in excellent to near mint condition.  We will list the basic information as it appears on the record label or sleeve, and include pictures of the label and both sides of the sleeve.  However, if you require further information, please send us a message and we'll do our best to answer your questions.  This is a new field for us, and we're hoping you will find some excellent records to add to your collection.
NEW!  Be sure to visit our newly expanded Books and Periodicals section where you'll find a wide selection of classical and jazz books to add to your music library.
