ALBERT AYLER: GHOSTS (DEBUT 144 - MONO)

ORIGINAL DENMARK 1.ST  PRESS!!

Original Debut 144 MONO from 1964. Black label with silver text.  The first pressing for this record anywhere in the world. EXTREMELY RARE!

VINYL CONDITION: NEAR MINT (IT’S PERFECT!!!)

COVER CONDITION: EXCELLENT*

For the fourth time ever, an original first pressing issue of Aylers’ Ghosts is now put up for auction on ebay.  This record is supremely rare and extremely hard to come by. Just imagine, you can go for years searching ebay for a copy of Ghosts without any luck. Finding one in a record-store or antique-shop is close to impossible, so it brings me great joy and anticipation to be able to make this record available on ebay.  What makes this event even more rare, is that the sound quality and vinyl condition of this record is extremely good. It’s like looking at and listening to a new record!!

This is a historic record. It was recorded in a Copenhagen studio with great musicians such as Don Cherry, Gary Peacock, Sonny Murray and the great Albert Ayler himself. The music is wonderful and beautiful in its own experimental and innovative way and stands as a brilliant session for connoisseurs of the avant-garde jazz-movement. During this period of time, Ayler played several gigs at the legendary jazz venue, Café Montmartre, in the heart of Copenhagen. Having him record Ghosts here in Denmark, is one of the greatest achievements for the Danish jazz-scene ever.

The three other times "Albert Ayler Ghosts" was sold on ebay it sold for $350  (six years ago), $417 (9 months ago) and $524 (5 years ago), but judging from the descriptions, it is the first time that a perfect audio/perfect vinyl specimen, like this one, has ever been put up for auction here on ebay....

VINYL: The vinyl is PERFECT! On our grading scale it’s a sure Near Mint, although that description doesn’t do it justice. From a visual standpoint the vinyl is beautiful and glossy to look at, with NO marks, scratches or any other indication, that this record is in fact 46 years old. It truly is a gorgeous record in impeccable condition! The sound is perfect with no surface sound and a smooth authentic sound that only an original pressing like this can give. The labels (original black debut labels with silver-printed text) are flawless and look brand new.

COVER: The cover is EXCELLENT* and very well kept and considering that it’s 46 years old, it really is a charm to look at. It has minor wear and tear, but overall it is a great cover. *There is only one downside with this copy of Ghosts. As the second photo clearly shows, I unfortunately got bored one night in the seventies, and decorated the back-cover. I regret it, but done is done.
