THE JAZZ COURIERS The Couriers Of Jazz! (Rare 1960 UK first
press 8-track deep groove mono LP, featuring the two frontline
tenors of Ronnie Scott & Tubby Hayes recorded for Carlton in
New York & backed by Terry Shannon [piano], Jeff Clyne [bass]
& Bill Eyden [drums]. Includes three Tubbs originals; 'Mirage',
'After Tea' & 'The Monk', the latter a quirky tribute to
Thelonious. The picture sleeve is front laminated with scalloped
flipbacks & grades a nice VG+, with no splits & intact flipbacks.
There is some faint laminate ageing or minor ring wear,
understandable with age considering the cover was
manufactured from flimsy stock like all London LPs. The
heavyweight vinyl is a high quality British pressing & grades a
healthy EX/EX- with a deep sheen both sides, a few minor
spindle marks & the odd light paper scuff not affecting play. This
is a nice surviving copy, carefully stored with card backing & a
great piece of British Jazz history LTZ-L15188)
