Condition :-

The Sleeve
Obtained from a one previous owner collection, with all records bought from new as rare exotic imports at the time, the heavyweight pasted laminate sleeve is in beautiful shape. Clean, with rich, vivid colours & all text clearly legible, with magic tape just at the opening edges as reinforcement. There are two very tiny paper tears just at the top corners but otherwise the condition is astonishing. Very neat & tidy & unlikely to be bettered any time soon.

The Labels
This variant was pressed using the late fifties stock labels, just before "Blue Note Records" became an incorporated company & registered trademark, meaning there is no 'INC' or 'R' lettering after 'Blue Note' on the labels, but because there is only a deep groove one side, we consider this to be a slightly later label variant to the original deep grooved version, which had the deep groove both sides of the label.
Both labels are clean & free from writing, stickers, excessive wear or any other blemishes that would affect the print. There is just a little faint spindle to indicate play but nothing of any real consequence.

The Vinyl
The Rudy Van Gelder initials 'RVG' & the 'ear' logo are stamped and etched into the runoff area. The matrices, like the 'ear' are hand scratched. A combination of Van Gelder's sound engineering & Plastylite pressing is well & truly the 'golden age' of highest quality, Blue Note pressings. We really should be putting these in our audiophile store!

The vinyl has been professionally cleaned on a Matrix machine and has come up looking sparkling. It already looked amazing even before the clean. Under a bright light, there is minimal signs of play. Upon play testing both sides, we can confirm this one does sound remarkable. There is very little in the way of any surface noise or ambience & would easily reach an 'excellent' grade. It gets our highest recommendation.

We are pleased to offer this beautiful, clean, archive copy for sale. A classic, very desirable, Blue Note release.
