Description
Phil Woods was dubbed “The New Bird” early in his performing career. He began recording in the early 50’s and continued to do so until his passing 60 years later. He was also a highly sought sideman, recording with dozens of artists on several historic recordings, including Oliver Nelson’s “More Blues And The Abstract Truth”, and with Monk at “Monk Orchestra At Town Hall”. He was named Downbeat magazine reader poll Top Alto player over 30 times. This is one of his earliest recordings and he is joined by several other phenomenal young players, foremost which may be Jackie McLean. But you’ll also hear incredible performances from Gene Quill, John Jenkins, and Hal McKusick. These were five of the greatest alto sax players of the last half century. Their backing support is also fabulous. Check out the credits! The recording engineer was Rudy Van Gelder. The stunning collection was released on Prestige in 1957, number PRLP 8204. This is the original mono release of the album. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few light surface scratches that do not significantly impact play. It plays beautifully with just very light background noise throughout and a few small tics. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows light ring wear and very light corner and edge wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. There is some age discoloration on the back. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.I use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. The USPS has just raised rates yet again, fairly dramatically. As a result I have raised the shipping cost very slightly. For Media Mail, shipping is $5.50 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $5.50 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. If you also happen to win one or more 7” records, those will be shipped separately to keep all records in appropriately sized mailers.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $30. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
