Description
Here's a 1966 US MONO PRESSING of ART BLAKEY & JAZZ MESSENGER'S LP - INDESTRUCTIBLE on the BLUE NOTE LABEL LABEL CAT#BN4193. This is a 1966 pressing on the BLUE NOTE label. IT HAS VAN GELDER STAMP ON BOTH RUNOUTS, NEW YORK USA LABELS, A LAMINATED COVER, AND 43 WEST 61ST STREET NEW YORK 23 ON THE BACK COVER. THIS IS ONE OF THE UNDISPUTED GREAT LPS OF THE 60'S JAZZ ERA, A KILLER HARD BOP SWINGFEST WITH AN OUTSTANDING BAND. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COPY. THE RECORD IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THE COVER, AND THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING. THIS RECORD HAS BECOME VERY RARE, ESPECIALLY THIS MONO COPY, AS THIS IS THE ONLY MONO PRESSING OF THIS KILLER ALBUM, AND IT HAPPENS TO BE THE FIRST PRESSING.
THE COVER HAS A BIT OF WEAR, BUT IS STILL VERY HANDSOME (SEE PHOTOS). A COUPLE VERY SMALL CORNER DINGS, A SLIGHT FADING OF THE COLORS FOR 1/4" ALONG THE SPINE FRONT, A LITTLE RING WEAR ON TOP. BOTTOM SEAM HAS SOME SHELF WEAR, AND A NICK TO THE PAPER IN THE CENTER. THE SPINE IS TONED, AND A LITTLE SOFT AT THE BOTTOM CORNER. TOP SEAM HAS SOME SMALL NICKS, AND SOFT AT THE OPENING. BACK COVER HAS A LITTLE RING WEAR ON TOP. OVERALL THE COVER IS VERY NICE, AND SHOWS THAT THIS RECORD WAS ENJOYED AND HANDLED LOVINGLY.
THE VINYL - PLAYS IN BEAUTIFUL NEAR MINT CONDITION. IT HAS SOME MINOR BACKGROUND AT THE BEGINNING RUN IN AND THE RUNOFF AS WELL AS SLIGHTLY BETWEEN TRACKS, BUT THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND SOUNDS AT ALL DURING THE MUSIC. THIS PLAYS A SOLID NEAR MINT.
OG INNER - WITH THE 43 WEST 61ST STREET ON BOTTOM IS VG WITH TONING AND FOLDS. NO SPLITS. IT SURVIVED TIME LIVING IN CARDBOARD FOR 55 YEARS, AND THE PAPER ACIDS TOOK THEIR EFFECT ON THE TONING. STILL A GREAT PART OF THIS WONDERFUL TREASURE OF AN ALBUM.
