Description
CHARLIE MINGUS JAZZ WORKSHOP (ャーリー・ミンガス) Pithecanthropus Erectus (直立猿人) VINYL LP (Japan) Atlantic SMJ-7228 w/OBI (1965 – Japanese FIRST PRESSING of 1956 album. Classic 1956 album with Jackie McLean, J.R. Monterose, Mal Waldron and Willie Jones. This is a very rare thick vinyl Japanese STEREO pressing from the either late ‘50s or maybe early ‘60s, or 1965 as suggested by one on-line discography, with laminated cover and a label design used only briefly by American Atlantic circ. late 50s/early 60s. This particular copy is in exceptionally clean condition and includes the original OBI. Surely not too many copies of this album exist worldwide in this condition and w/ the OBI.)
Record Grade: EX+
(Barely played. Odd super light sleeve scuffs here and there under very strong light. One label has a touch of black to a section of the inner rim - see pic.)
Cover Grade: EX+
(Great cover - no bends, no splits, no shelf wear, no dings. No insert, but I don't think it came with one.. Obi is all good except for a touch of humidity browning which is extremely mild.)
Nice copy.
FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA (registered post on $20+ items)
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOTE: Import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of these costs before bidding. (International Postage terms: see below) Posted with vinyl outside of sleeve to prevent sleeve splits in transit. Packed in solid cardboard. Japanese pressings are usually heavier packages.
IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light.
I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I use
the UK grading system which includes EX grades. I am used to
strict Japanese grading standards. If a disc is graded EX you
will not receive something that should be VG+. On the off chance
that happens, please contact me and I will sort it out.
International Postage:
These discs are generally aimed at Australian buyers,
but I have a lot of experience posting internationally.
International postage will be an $ AU 30 flat rate .
(I'll cover the difference, including tracking etc., and if actual postage
does happen to come in lower I'll refund the difference back.)
If you would like to combine international postage on multiple items
please wait for an invoice.
NOTE: I am going to be selling my own collection of clean
Japanese pressings with obi's and other discs this year.
I have issues with storage because my wife and I have been
relocating between Australia and Korea.
Vinyl is visually graded only. My sound system is still in storage in
another city.
Grading note: Very clean near mint records may sometimes have tiny
specks of dust or very small ultra thin fabric strands (which can sometimes
be mistaken for marks) on the vinyl, which come from the inside of
inner sleeves. Both of these will likely be removed by the stylus on first play.
If I can, I send items out in anti-static inner sleeves to try to minimize
this.
