Description

Poppin' / Hank Mobley
(Blue Note / KING GXK-8163)
1981 King 2nd LP issue, complete with OBI and paper insert

What is this copy:

1981 King 2nd issue of Hank Mobley's unreleased session with Sonny Clark (First issue was King GXF-3066 in 1979 or 1980). This GXK-8163 was one of the “Blue Note Worldwide First Appearance” series (GXK-8151 thru GXK-8170), renumbered 2nd issue of 20 unreleased titles (originally released as from GXF-3051 to GXF-3073) chosen for Japan market. All titles of this series are extremely rare and very hard to find even in Japan. Japan King LPs, not only Blue Note reissues but also other labels' reissues, are sought after for high fidelity pressings with courteous respects for original issues.

What's inside this LP:

Hank Mobley's yet another supreme unreleased session at the time, recorded on October 20, 1957, just between “Hank Mobley” (BLP-1568) and “Peckin' Time” (BLP-1574). All the gorgeous members plays so refreshing. Especially, Sonny Clark's bluesy and emotional piano improvisations are great. Members consists of Art Farmer (tp), Hank Mobley (ts), Pepper Adams (bs), Sonny Clark (p), Paul Chambers (b) and Philly Joe Jones (ds).
