ATTENTION RARE 1950s BRITISH JAZZ AND BLUES MUSIC AND 10 INCH LP COLLECTORS! WHAT A FIND!HERE IS>>> ROSINA AND JOHN CLARK:

"AN EVENIN' AT THE GIN MILL".77/LP/24.

HERE IS A RARE 1959 MONO 10 INCH LP FEATURING TRACKS BY AN OBSCURE BUT EXCELLENT BRITISH FEMALE BLUES SINGER ROSINA SCUDDER(SIMPLY CREDITED AS ROSINA)WHO WAS CLEARLY INFLUENCED BY BESSIE SMITH,MILDRED BAILEY AND IDA COX WITH 5 TRACKS FEATURING HER SINGING AND 4 PIANO INSTRUMENTAL SOLOS BY HER BACKING PIANIST JOHN CLARK.ON THE VOCAL TRACKS THERE ARE BACKINGS BY KEN COLYER(UNDER THE FALSE NAME OF KENNETH COLEMAN)ON TRUMPET,JOHN MASON(BASS)AND COLIN BOWDON(DRUMS) RECORDED IN THE UK IN 1959 FOR THE TINY INDEPENDENT AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE 77 LABEL WHICH PRESSED JUST 99 COPIES OF THE MAJORITY OF THE RELEASES TO AVOID PURCHASE TAX-THERE IS A TAX DUTY STICKER ON ONE LABEL WHICH IS ODD BUT MAY HAVE BEEN FOR EXPORT PURPOSES-EITHER WAY THIS IS A MEGA-RARE LP WITH MORE INFO TO BE FOUND ON THE NET TO BACK UP MY FACTS!

THE 77 LABEL WAS MADE FOR DOBELL'S JAZZ RECORD SHOP IN LONDON WITH MOST ISSUES SNAPPED UP WITHIN WEEKS BY COLLECTORS.THEY VERY RARELY TURN UP ANYWHERE-TRAWL THROUGH EBAY OR POPSIKE AND YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND ANY OTHER EXAMPLES.

NOT ONLY THAT,THERE ARE SOME INFORMATION SHEETS TO PROMOTE EARLIER ISSUES AS WELL AS ONE DEVOTED TO THIS LP WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN SENT TO A REVIEWER,RADIO PRESENTER OR AN IMPORTANT CUSTOMER/COLLECTOR!

MOST ADDITIONAL PAPERWORK LIKE THE THREE SHEETS INCLUDED WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN AWAYN OR AT LEAST BADLY DAMAGED-THESE ARE ALL CLEAN AND HAVE NOT FADED WITH MINOR CREASING-NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

THIS IS A VITAL RECORD FOR ANY SERIOUS COLLECTION OF BRITISH BLUES AND JAZZ MUSIC RECORDS-DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR A FANTASTICALLY RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER LP!  THERE ARE A FEW TINY AND FAINT SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE INCLUDING A CLICK THAT SOUNDS FOR 20 SECONDS BUT GENERALLY THE DISC PLAYS VERY NICELY INDEED! NO JUMPS-NO STICKS-NO DISTORTION! STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION! VERY FEW COPIES SURVIVE, 54 YEARS ON-THE MAJORITY IN THE HAND OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO WON'T SELL! REMEMBER THAT IN 1959,MANY JAZZ AND BLUES FANS WERE STILL STICKING WITH 78s AND MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITH MAJOR DAMAGE! 

HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED+FLIPBACK COVER WITH A TINY PIECE MISSING AT  THE BACK LEFT HAND EDGE+SOME LAMINATION PEELING BUT NO REPAIRS-VERY CLEAN AND SHARP.STILL VERY PRESENTABLE.THE ORIGINAL PVC INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED. 

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS! £20 STARTING PRICE.POSTAGE:£4 RECORDED DELIVERY TO THE UK   EUROPE  £6 REST OF THE WORLD £9 

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many JAZZ/BLUES MUSIC collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
