Items in this lot are:
  • Dance of the infidels / 52nd St. Theme -- Label: Blue Note -- Record#: 1568

Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. E-mail before you bid as this method costs more to ship, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 2-3 pounds $29.75 + $1.85 box/tape/pack = $31.60.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique 78 RPM this one featuring Bud Powell's Modernists including Sonny Rollins.

Band members:

  1. Fats Navarro, trumpet
  2. Sonny Rollins, tenor sax
  3. Bud Powell, piano
  4. Tommy Potter, bass
  5. Roy Haynes, drums

Several things about this item make it unique. Firstly, it retains lots of the original shine with a few light marks. I did take the time to play this disc and found the two sides to audibly average nearly half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint.

You can assign your own grade based on my comments below.

Secondly, at the time of this listing, no past/present sales on e-bay and no copies found for sale out on the Internet!

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price. It is further described in detail below, please take the time to read before bidding. Please e-mail if questions.

My system for playing 78s is an old Zenith system that plays four speeds and allows me to turn a knob to allow for playing 78 RPMs. If you have a player specifically designed for playing 78 RPMs or can clean them, it (they) may sound even better.

Be sure to check my other listings to save postage on multiple winning bids. Please explore the "Me" link above(next to feedback rating) to check out my store and some of the 15,000+ records / books / CD's / cassettes I have for sale as well as the LP to CD transfer service I offer.


I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Bud Powell's Modernists Title: Dance of the infidels / 52nd Street Theme Record: Black vinyl with lots of the original shine, a few light marks. Labels: Yellow/blue with yellow/blue print. No stickers, an "X" pencil mark on one side, no spindle marks. The labels show: "Not licensed for broadcasting". Trailing wax: Side 1: "BN-362-1 A-1". Side 2: "BN-363 A-1". Inner sleeve: Will be included with a generic 78 RPM sleeve and sandwiched between two heavier pieces of cardboard when shipped. Comments: This is a truly unique item. I found the two sides to audibly average very close to half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint. You can assign your own grade based on my comments below. A unique addition to your 78 RPM collection. Side 1: Comments: Dance of the infidels Up to a very, very light to very light surface noise (3.4). Side 2: Comments: 52nd Street Theme Up to a very, very light surface noise (3.5). Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:
  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I would ship this in a 14"x14"x6" box padded with styrofoam. Weight with box is about 2 pounds 4 oz. I have successfully shipped 78s without breakage.

Shipping costs: Media Rate $3.16 (2-3 lbs.) Box $1.40, Tape $.40, Peanuts $.50, delivery confirmation $.80 = $6.25.
