Description
This week I am offering a treasure trove: I found a small pile of unused Esquires, and sorted through them with a bright light to identify the best condition ones, lacking storage damage, and any spindle marks of being played by customers in the shop. No marks to playing surfaces or labels, only down side being no outers as a rule (I'd be selling them for 3 figure prices if they had!). These are the ones that are like they came out of the factory 60 years ago. Some of these are changing hands for healthy three figures, and if you have a sleeve with a worn one in, you have hit the jackpot.
Pristine vinyl 1957 Unplayed new Old Stock Phil Woods Four Altos group featuring Sahib Shihab & Msl Waldron, with Tommy Potter Bass and Louis Hayes drums. Esquire 32-074. UK 1st Press with RVG stamped in the run out grooves, which means genuine 1950s US mother sent over by prestige, and pressed on better vinyl over here. I have one of these, superb interplay and Waldron is his usual fantastic self, a veteran already by then, having played with Billie Holiday previous to this, but wanting to be more modern and adventurous, as he is here.
This record is visually Near Mint, in a plain white sleeve, record is not warped, labels are clean.
we send packed in hard card custom made new boxes.
