Description
This is a lovely copy of this mega scarce, very desirable BLUE NOTE album, "THE MAGNIFICENT THAD JONES", FEATURING THAD JONES,TRUMPET, Detroit Legend BILLY MITCHELL,TENOR SAX, BARRY HARRIS,PIANO, PERCY HEATH, BASS, and MAX ROACH,DRUMS! This is BRILLIANTLY PERFORMED, hard swinging early 50's BLUE NOTE JAZZ at its best!
This LP was released in the early 50's, and this is the first FLAT EDGE pressing. It features the well known DOUBLE SIDED DEEP GROOVE Blue and White label. It features the true first Blue Note address, 767 Lexington Ave, NYC ( no "R", no "inc") The run out groove has the "ear" as well as the Rudy Van Gelder HAND ETCHED initials. It also has the matrix BN LP 1527 A(and B) hand etched in the run out grooves. The labels are clean, with very slight spindle marks. The LP itself is the thick, heavy vinyl associated with these early 50s pressings. This LP is in very conservatively rated VG++ (VERY GOOD PLUS) condition, with clean, bright playing surfaces. There are a couple very faint, light marks that do not sound. There is one long light mark that appears on Side A that appears to be a fingernail kind of mark, but again, it is not feelable, and does not effect the sound. I have played this LP, and it plays beautifully, with almost no back round noise. Other than the couple marks mentioned, the LP is nearly MINT MINUS. The sound is beautiful...that classic, gorgeous, rich Blue Note sound, but of course, there will be an occasional pop or click. This is a 60 year old record, and its not absolutely flawless. Its all about the music, and this LP plays great! Ive been advised by a friend who is a very experienced seller to be very conservative on my ratings, as Im an avid collector, but a relatively new "seller".The classic heavy cardboard "frame" style cover is in VG/VG+condition,with solid spine, top seam, and neatly clear taped bottom seam. The LP cover has moderate shelf wear for an album that is close to 60 years old. The cover is very presentable. There is also a stamp from the original record store it was sold at back in 1954, "Seymour's Record Mart", in Chicago, Illinois (see pic). The classic cover with its distinctive graphics, are sharp and clear.
I am a Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist, and have been collecting Rare Jazz LPs for many years. This is one from my personal collection. I assure you, all the LPs I will be offering here have been meticulously taken care of, and only played rarely, on a Sota Sapphire Turntable, with a Grado Reference Cartridge. They have been kept inside a temperature controlled room in my home, in plastic dust jackets. In other words, you can bid in confidence, knowing these LPs come from someone who has loved them and babied them. I reluctantly am beginning to sell some of my LPs, and hope they go to someone who will love them as I have.
All LPs will be carefully packed in strong, proper LP boxes, well protected, and sent USPS PRIORITY MAIL or EXPRESS MAIL so proper tracking is available. Media Rate for domestic shipments is available, but really not recommended. For overseas buyers, ( Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, etc) we recommend PRIORITY MAIL, EXPRESS MAIL, or REGISTERED MAIL for proper tracking. We keep very close watch on all shipments through United States Post Office and Customs. Shipping costs are always based on your location. I do not add "handling"fees, costs will be exactly as I am charged by the shipper of choice. Good Luck to all bidders!
