The Amazing Bud Powell – Bebop Jazz Vinyl LP – Blue Note UK RE Sealed

$

22

In spite of spending approximately one-third of his life in various hospitals and mental institutions, Bud Powell was, and is still recognized to be, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.  Along with Charlie Parker he was one of the innovators and developers of the bebop movement.  His recordings with Blue Note are still viewed critically as some of the best piano jazz recordings ever.  This is a reissue of his first two Blue Note recordings. It’s a wonderful gift to have the music on those historic albums pulled together on this beautiful collection.  The album was released on the European Vinyl Passion label in 2019, number VP 900086.  This is a reissue of the two 10” albums issued on Blue Note in 1952 and 1954.  The album is still sealed so the vinyl is presumed to be in mint condition.  The album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades NM.

Grading Information

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

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 $22. 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 $27.  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.

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
