I. N. PRICING THOSE PRICES ARE FROM SOLD QUALITY COPY RESEARCH.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WITH AN UNPLAYED 50 TO 60 YEAR OLD RECORD THAT THERE CAN BE TINY DUST PARTICLES IN THE GROOVES THAT MAY TAKE A DEEP CLEANING TO FULLY REMOVE, WE DAMP WIPE ALL OF OUR LP'S BUT, DO NOT DO DEEP CLEANING ON VINYL THAT APPEARS UNPLAYED.


 ***THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VERY HARD TO FIND MONO, WHITE LABEL PROMO PRESSING OF THE CHARLES MINGUS ALBUM "MINGUS AH UM". THIS VERY DESIRABLE JAZZ LP IS THE DEBUT RECORDING DONE UNDER THE COLUMBIA BRAND AND IT IS OUTSTANDING. STARTING WITH THE S. NEIL FUJITA ART COVER, IT GRABS YOUR ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY, THEN WHEN THE NEEDLE IS DROPPED ON THIS POST/ HARD BOP RECORDING IT IS TIME TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE TRIBUTE TO MANY OF MINGUS' PREDECESSORS, "BETTER GIT IT IN YOUR SOUL" THE FIRST CUT IS INSPIRED BY GOSPEL SINGING AND PREACHING HE HEARD AS A CHILD GROWING UP IN CA. AND IT JUST GETS BETTER FROM THERE TO THE FINAL NOTE OF "JELLY ROLL", THIS IS PURE JAZZ ENTERTAINMENT.. THE VINYL APPEARS UNPLAYED AND WE BELIEVE IT WAS, UNDER VERY BRIGHT LIGHT AND HELD AT A CERTAIN ANGLE YOU CAN SEE SOME FAINT, SHADOWY, WISPY SLEEVE CONTACT MARKS (DNAP) BUT THEY ARE THERE. LABELS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES AND THE COVER MENTIONED EARLIER IS BY RENOWNED ARTIST S. NEIL FUJITA AND IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH A COUPLE OF CHIPS TO THE FRONT COVER GRAPHICS (SEE PHOTOS) OVERALL A GREAT IN DEMAND PIECE OF VINYL HISTORY THAT WILL BE A SUPER ADDITION TO AND SERIOUS COLLECTION. HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!
