Description
Beautiful copy of the true first pressing of the wonderful Fiorello LP by the Oscar Peterson Trio, on Verve mono MG-V-8366. Original trumpeter label copy. This copy was personally owned by Ray Brown himself, the bassist in the Oscar Peterson Trio, and one of the greatest jazz bassists of all time. There is nothing to prove that it was his, but you can probably search the internet and see that the Ray Brown estate sale just happened here in LA a few days ago (it is now the 26th of May). I acquired a number of his original LPs, many of which he played on himself. If you like I can get a letter of confirmation from the estate sale operator. This copy is quite beautiful. The disc looks only lightly played and only has a bit of light sleeve scuffing. It plays just about flawlessly and gorgeously. The cover is beautifully clean as well, with only light ringwear and a slightly bumped lower right corner. No seam splits and very little sign of use. A top copy.
