BILL EVANS & JIM HALL Undercurrent (1963 Japanese first issue of the classic 6-track stereo LP on the 'bendy sax player' label, that sees the almost telepathic relationship between the guitar of Jim Hall & the Piano of Bill Evans take root andgrow, unique fully silk laminated scalloped flipback picture sleeve variant with the classic Toni Frissell picture from 1947 as the cover art & Japanese sleeve notes on the reverse. Dating from February 1963, the flimsy sleeve shows very little of the stresses that most have succumbed to after fifty years, with just a little light age yellowing noticable at the edges of the mostly white back & some minor laminate creasings in places on the front. The pinched spine is still clearly readable & shows no wear to speak of. The vinyl is staggering & remains in excellent condition, showing little sign of play at all. An wonderful copy of this hard to find first Japanese press! UAS-1029J)
