Tracklisting & More Information

Condition:-

Sleeve:-
Obtained from a one previous owner collection of jazz records, with many bought as exotic imports from the US at their original time of release, this is a wonderful collector's example. This sleeve appears Excellent with lovely clean edges & no seam splits or writing. The laminate is nice & sharp looking with no creases or fading to the colours on the front. All text remains clearly legible & the spine reads perfectly. On very close inspection, there is a small scuff mark in the paper's top edge, easily forgiveable with age. The back slick also looks fantastic with none of the usual age yellowing found with US jackets of this era. The picture of Sabu & Blakey together is as strong looking as when it was first printed.

Labels & run-out:-
The important bit of the run-out area, along with the Rudy Van Gelder 'RVG' etching, is the Plastylite 'ear' etching both sides. This tells you this is indeed a first Blue Note pressing before the company was bought out by Liberty in the late sixties. Confirming this is the original 'West 63rd' address on the labels & 'deep groove' both sides. The labels have no writing or tears & there is minimal signs of play around the spindle area.

Vinyl:-
The vinyl has been professionally cleaned & remains in Excellent condition. Sound quality is exceptional & there are no heavy marks or scratches. On close inspection, you can see a few faint paper hairlines either side when held to light in no way affecting play. Completing the package is the original Blue Note catalogue inner, which exhibits just one minor split at the bottom due to its thin paper structure. All in all, this is a wonderful collector's example that comes highly recommended.
