Description
Up for sale is an amazingly clean copy of Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers ?– Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers. It's an early pressing with RVG and the "ear" symbol in the dead wax and the 47 West 63rd Street address.
Vinyl is a (visual) M-. Some paper scuffs and light hairlines. Still very glossy.
Cover is M-. Very clean, little to no visible wear. (see photos for details). Labels are bubbling a bit. Original inner sleeve is in nice condition.
.
I play-graded this one and Side 1 plays and sounds amazing. There are some light ticks/surface noise in very quiet parts. Towards the very end of the side it starts getting a bit lightly distorted.
Side 2 sounds amazing as well. There are some light ticks/surface noise in very quiet parts.
From a collection I recently purchased from an 83-year old record collector. His record shelves had plexi-glass doors in front of them which explains the amazing condition of the sleeves. He also took incredibly good care of the records. Follow my listings for more M-, mono Blue Note, Prestige, Pacific Jazz, Verve, Contemporary and Riverside LPs I'll be listing in the coming days.
