Description

Sonny Rollins (with Max Roach, Tommy Flanagan, Doug Watkins)  SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS Prestige 7079, recorded 1957. Black-and-yellow Bergenfield label.  Disc surface shows some play.  One scuff mark on B-side.  Pressing is just a little grainy, and has  a small bit of fuzz dynamic with the program intensity.  But in general remarkably clean:  Play graded NM-. Jacket has general yellowing to the white back side.  One retail rubber stamp and the residue in same corner of another sticker. Back cover shows 5 LP reproductions, also has Bergenfield address. Corners are strong and flat—no crushing, though there’s a little bit of lamination –chipping to 3 of them, the longest is 1” long on lower left edge. “slight flare up of crackles in the last part of “Moritat”.

Here’s the fifteenth of about 50 batches of records from a fastidious NY-area collector with excellent taste. One owner since release in most cases. Very many of these were played either very little or very carefully. They’ve been carefully play-graded as well.  Low starts, as you can see, and almost no reserves. Bid with confidence. Combined shipping available within reason.
