TEDDY WILSON & BILLIE HOLIDAY 10-Inch LP # CL-6040 - Benny Goodman, Lester Young

$

150

Columbia Records 10-inch 33 RPM LP # CL 6040 is "Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra, Featuring Billie Holiday", one of the most perfect vocal jazz records ever issued.  In addition to Billie's brilliant singing and Teddy's brilliant piano playing, the band musicians (not on all tracks) include Benny Goodman, Lester Young and Buck Clayton. It is undated, but circa 1949, I believe.

The track list is:

Miss Brown to You

I Wished on the Moon

What a Little Moonlight Can Do

If You Were Mine

I Must Have That Man

Foolin' Myself

Easy Living

When You're Smiling

Really rare and in the best shape you'll ever find. It is overall in E+ condition, still nice and shiny, with some very light  scuffs , as well as one small manufacturing blister at the end of the record. Study the pictures and bid accordingly, this is a rare record and in really nice condition. Its the last one I have and the nicest. Check out my other listings.

The cover has very little surface rubs and edge wear, and the top seams are split on both sides for about 2"s. Small scuff on the back. 

I have a collection of over 125 Billie Holliday 10" records I will be selling. I also will be listing albums, 8 track tapes, cassettes, 45s, and other pieces of Billie Holliday memorabilia. With questions its 90six2507five02

The VJM Record Grading System.

N (78) M (LP). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).

N- (78) M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (78) VG+ (LP). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E  (78) VG (LP). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a fewinaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (78) VG- (LP). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. LP: Some wear, scratches and scuffs, but no skipped or repeat grooves.

V+ (78) G+ LP. V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced. LP: Below average with scuffs and scratches on fewer than half the tracks. No skips or repeat grooves.

V (78) G (LP). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
