CHARLES MINGUS Pithecanthropus Erectus (1961 second US issue of the 1956 4-track mono vinyl LP, on the plum & red Atlantic label with white fan logo to the right, housed in a beautiful silk laminated heavy duty pasted picture sleeve with company catalogue inner. This was Mingus' first masterpiece, with the boundary-pushing title piece,'Profile Of Jackie' & a wonderfully modern arrangement of Gershwin's 'A Foggy Day', also starring Jackie McLean (alto), J. R. Monterose (tenor), MalWaldron (piano) & Willie Jones (drums). Despite a name & date discreetly penned on the back, the sleeve is otherwise near mint & the vinyl looks barely touched!)
