BILL LE SAGE "BILL'S RECIPES"

AN ORIGINAL MONO LATE 1950s BRITISH ISSUED 12 INCH L.P. ON THE TINY INDEPENDENT SAGA LABEL(APPROX 1959)THAT YOU MAY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE-I DON'T THINK IT HAS EVER BEEN REISSUED-REISSUE COMPANIES MIGHT BE KEEN TO GET THIS AS IT'S OVER 50 YEARS OLD AND OUT OF COPYRIGHT AND LOOK AT THE FANTASTIC COVER PHOTO!!!! 

A THICK VINYL 12"MONO LP:STM 6019.

I AM SURE THIS WAS PRESSED UP BY PYE AS THE LOOK OF THE VINYL,THE A-1WM/B-1WM MATRIXES AND SIMILAR COVER QUALITY AND PRINTING IS IDENTICAL TO 1950s PYE LPs! 

ONE OF THE HARDEST TO FIND BOP TYPE BRITISH MODERN JAZZ MUSIC LPs OF THE 1950s AND PROBABLY AS RARE AS ANYTHING ON TEMPO!

JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY!

THIS L.P. IS MEGA RARE AND IN SPLENDID CONDITION WITH JUST MINOR SURFACE MARKS AND ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE.SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS-THE RECORDING IS A LITTLE OVERMODULATED AT TIMES-ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE AN EARLY JOE MEEK BALANCE JOB IN PARTS-WHICH IS POSSIBLE AS SAGA WERE BEHIND HIS SHORT LIVED TRIUMPH LABEL ABOUT A YEAR LATER AND ALTHOUGH NOT NOTED OR KNOWN OF HIS INVOLVEMENT,IT IS POSSIBLE AS HE PROVIDED THE BALANCE ON MANY OF THE BRITISH JAZZ RECORDINGS FOR SEVERAL LABELS AT THIS TIME!

THE WONDERFUL LAMINATED  COVER+FLIPBACK IS  BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED WITH NO WRITING OR STAINING!

AN IN DEPTH SLEEVE NOTE INCLUDING AN INTERVIEW WITH BILL!. 

In the late 1950s Most UK Jazz record buyers were buying singles,EPs and 78s which are much easier to find than the LPs and of course most  LPs of the 1950s were more expensive and quickly damaged on the primitive and heavy equipment of the time,even sometimes getting mixed up with 78s with disastrous consequences!

From the collection of the former Esquire jazz label boss,Peter Newbrook who passed away just over a year ago.

I have been selling many of his carefully preserved records over the last year on ebay and you are welcome to trawl through my feedback to see more examples to prove the amazing quality of his collection!

I HAVE KEPT THIS LP FOR A WHILE IN MY OWN COLLECTION BUT HAVE DECIDED TO SELL IT WHICH I KNOW I SHALL REGRET LATER ON,BUT BILLS MUST BE PAID! 

IN THE LATE 1950s, THIS LP HAD MINIMAL PUBLICITY AS SAGA WERE A TINY COMPANY. IT BARELY SOLD AND WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AND IS VERY RARE 50+ YEARS ON!

IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT THE PRINT RUN FOR SUCH SPECIALIST MATERIAL WOULD BE ABOUT 500 COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!

DON'T FORGET HOW THE UK BUYERS WERE MAINLY GOING FOR EASY LISTENING POP WITH JAZZ ARTISTS VIRTUALLY IGNORED ON BRITISH RADIO AND THE MAJORITY OF RECORD SHOPS NOT STOCKING EXPENSIVE LPs OF THE GENRE,USUALLY OBTAINING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER! THIS IS NOT FICTION BUT FACT!

HOW MANY COPIES ACTUALLY SOLD OF THIS LP IS UNKNOWN BUT I AM CONFIDENT IT WOULD BE LESS THAN A HUNDRED AND OUT OF THOSE SOLD,HOW MANY SURVIVE 50+ YEARS LATER AND OF COURSE HOW MANY AS GOOD AS THIS ONE? A FEW OF YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE A COPY BUT I DARESAY IT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE! 

THIS COPY IS MAGNIFICENT AND HAS NOT HAD MUCH USE WITH ONLY A FEW ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS,VERY CLEAN LABELS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE. 

THE ORIGINAL COVER,USUALLY MISSING OR RIPPED AND TATTY IS SIMPLY STUNNING WITH NO HORRIBLE AGE STAINING OR NASTY DAMP,SMOKEY SMELL!!!

NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING WITH THICK VINYL AND THE CORRECT LAMINATED FRONT COVER + THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE.

 £50 STARTING PRICE AND FREE UK RECORDED DELIVERY POSTAGE INCLUDED!!!!
