Description
This is a very nice, super clean copy of this scarce BLUE NOTE album, "UNITY", by THE LARRY YOUNG QUARTET, featuring LARRY YOUNG, ORGAN, and an almost UNBELIEVABLY BURNING FRONT LINE OF LEGENDARY HORN PLAYERS: WOODY SHAW, TRUMPET, and JOE HENDERSON, TENOR SAX, and to top it off, here we have one of the greatest Jazz Drummers of all time, ELVIN JONES, on DRUMS. This is a historic BLUE NOTE RECORDING that is ESSENTIAL to any collector of BLUE NOTE JAZZ RECORDS. This is quintessential mid 60s BLUE NOTE JAZZ at its best. Regarding BLUE NOTE RECORDS: As we all know, the performances are legendary, and the Blue Note sound is simply stunning.
This LP was probably released in the mid 1960s, and it is a stereo pressing. It features the well known Blue and White label. It features the New York USA address on both sides. It has the matrix # BNLP 84221 A and B hand etched in the run out groove, as well as the Van Gelder stamp. It has the famous Plastylite symbol (the "Ear") on both sides. This LP is really beautiful, and Im conservatively rating it VG+. There are a few tiny, almost imperceptible light, non-feelable marks, thats it. The labels are clean, with a few faint spindle marks. The LP itself is the nice thick vinyl associated with these early to mid 60s pressings, and the BLUE NOTE sound is amazing, engineered by the incomparable Rudy Van Gelder. The LP plays and sounds great! The jacket is in VG/VG- condition, due to a punch hole in the top right corner, and the top seam is completely split. There is also a tiny piece of the back slick missing (top left corner - see pic.) I am leaving it exactly the way it is, for the new owner to repair as he or she sees fit. The classic REID MILES design and the graphics, are sharp and clear. This cover art by the way, is ICONIC, having been featured in several books on American Jazz LP Art.
I am a Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist, and have been collecting Rare Jazz LPs for many years. This is one from my personal collection. I assure you, all the LPs I will be offering here have been meticulously taken care of, and only played rarely, on a Sota Sapphire Turntable, with a Grado Reference Cartridge. They have been kept inside a temperature controlled room in my home, in plastic dust jackets. In other words, you can bid in confidence, knowing these LPs come from someone who has loved them and babied them. I reluctantly am beginning to sell some of my LPs, and hope they go to someone who will love them as I have.
All LPs will be carefully packed in proper LP boxes, well protected,and sent USPS Media Rate, unless specifically needed sooner. We can send priority mail if desired. Shipping costs are always based on your location. I do not add "handling"fees, costs will be exactly as I am charged by the shipper of choice. LPs can also be sent Fed-Ex ground, if preferred, although this can be a bit more expensive. Good Luck!
