Description
THE CHARLES MINGUS JAZZ WORKSHOP 'PITHECANTHROPUS ERECTUS' LONDON LTZ-K 15052 LP FEATURING JACKIE McLEAN, J.R. MONTROSE, MAL WALDRON, WILLIE JONES. FIRST UK ISSUE OF ATLANTIC 1237 LP. THIS IS ONE OF THE MILESTONE SESSIONS OF 1950'S MODERN JAZZ - THE MEETING OF SO MANY LEGENDS IN ONE PLACE, ALL UNDER THE SPELL OF THE IRON FISTED MINGUS' AND HIS MURCURIAL 'JAZZ WORKSHOP'. THE MUSIC ON THIS LP IS NOTHING LESS THAN ASTONISHING - ESPECIALLY WHEN HEARED ON THIS ULTRA HIGH FIDELITY PRESSING WHICH MAKES THE BLACK AND SILVER LABEL ATLANTIC USA NYC FIRST ISSUE LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A BUDGET LABEL SPECIAL (AND THAT'S REALLY SAYING SOMETHING - AS THE USA ATLANTIC IS NOT A BAD LP BY ANY MEANS). DEEP GROOVE, FLAT EDGE, SUPER THICK AND VERY HEAVY VINYL, SOLID MINT! PERFECT FIDELITY AND MIRROR LIKE SHEEN, AS NEW IN APPEARANCE AND SOUND AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED CLOSE TO 50 YEARS AGO. RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE CLEAN AND PERFECT WITH A VERY STRONG DOUBLED DEEP GROOVE IMPRESSION. COVER THICK, LAMINATED, AND PERFECT MINT, WITH GREAT ABSTRACT ART BY LATIN ARTIST JULIO DE DIEGO.. EXTREMELY RARE—AS GOOD AS IT GETS IN VINTAGE VINYL. YOU WILL NEVER FIND A CLEANER, MORE PERFECT COPY OF THIS MODERN JAZZ RARITY THAN THIS LP. AS WELL THE FIDELITY IS SO AMAZING - IT HAS TO BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED. A FABULOUS GEM!
PLEASE FORGIVE IF YOU SEE THIS SAME DESCRIPTION ON MANY OF THESE EUROPEAN DEEP GROOVE FIRST ISSUES. EACH LP HAS BEEN PLAY GRADED AND VISUALLY GRADED INDIVIDUALLY BUT THEY ARE MOSTLY ALL IN PERFECT UNPLAYED CONDITION. THEY BELONGED TO A RECORD DISTRIBUTOR IN THE UK WHO WORKED DURING THE EARLY 1950'S TO MID 1970'S ALL OVER EUROPE. HE KEPT SOME COPIES OF LP'S IN BOXES AND NEVER PLAYED THEM - IN THE LATE 1970'S I WAS ABLE TO BUY HIS ENTIRE COLLECTION FROM HIM IN LONDON. I AM REPEATING DESCRIPTIONS ON SOME OF THESE BECAUSE THEY ARE VIRTUALLY IN THE SAME PRISTINE CONDITION. I MENTION THIS BECAUSE AN EBAYER WROTE ME TO ASK IF I DID GRADE THESE LP'S OR JUST CUT AND PASTE THE SAME DESCRIPTION OVER AND OVER ON MANY AUCTIONS - I TOLD HIM THAT EACH LP IS CHECKED EXTENSIVELY BUT I ONLY HAVE SO MANY WAYS TO SAY - THE LP IS PERFECT. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS NOTE AND THE ONE BELOW. IT IS MY PRIVILAGE TO OFFER THESE VERY RARE BEAUTIFUL LP'S TO YOU.
PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THESE EUROPEAN MODERN JAZZ FIRST ISSUES.
*NOTE: I WILL BE LISTING A LARGE COLLECTION OF THESE FIRST ISSUE EUROPEAN MODERN JAZZ 10”, 12”, EP’S, AND 78 SETS. IN SOME CASES THEY WERE ISSUED IN EUROPE DURING THE SAME PERIOD AS THE AMERICAN PRESSING IN THE USA, WHILE SOME OF THE LP'S WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE USA DURING THE DEEP GROOVE PERIOD, OR AFTER. THE FIDELITY AND PRESSING QUALITY OF THESE EU DEEP GROOVE FIRST ISSUES IS AMAZING, IN SOME CASES THEY SOUND MUCH BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN ISSUES (IF THERE EVER WAS ONE). THE ALTERNATE COVER ART IS ALSO OF SPECIAL HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE COLLECTOR OF MODERN JAZZ AS IT IS CREATIVE, DRAMATIC, AND OFTEN USES NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED PICTURES AND INNOVATIVE GRAPHIC DESIGN. ALSO, THIS COLLECTION OF EU DEEP GROOVES ARE IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION (SAD TO SAY THE EUROPEANS FOR THE MOST PART SEEM TO HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF THEIR LP’S THAN FELLOW AMERICAN COLECTORS OF THE PERIOD). THESE ORIGINAL LP’S WERE NOT PRESSED IN SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS DURING THE 1950’S (SAME AS CAN BE SAID OF THE MAJOR INDEPENDENT JAZZ LABELS IN THE USA) SO THEY ARE IN FACT OFTEN MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN THE SAME USA PRESSED FIRST ISSUE. THESE EU DEEP GROOVES ARE IN EVERY CASE – AUDIOPHILE PRESSINGS, MADE OF VERY THICK PURE VIRGIN VINYL, WITH A VERY STRONG DEEP GROOVE IMPRESSION. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WRITE THIS NOTE THANKS TO MANY YEARS OF COMMUNICATION WITH DISTRIBUTORS, AND COLLECTORS FROM EUROPE DURING THE PERIOD, AS WELL AS CONTEMPORARY MAJOR COLLECTORS AND JAZZ MUSIC HISTORIANS. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION WAS OF ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THESE LP’S.
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, DOWNBEAT 2003 WILL BE LISTING A MAJOR COLLECTION OF VERY RARE VINTAGE JAZZ LPS, 78S, EPS, ETC. FROM A MAJOR COLLECTION ACQUIRED OVER 30+ YEARS OF INTERNATIONAL COLLECTING. SOME OF THE RAREST LPS OF BOP AND MODERN JAZZ WILL BE OFFERED, FROM ALL MAJOR LABELS INCLUDING BLUE NOTE, PRESTIGE, SAVOY, DIAL, ROOST, PACIFIC JAZZ, DEBUT, VOGUE, TO NAME A FEW. THE PIECES IN MOST CASES ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND PRESERVATION. SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! PLEASE SEE MY ‘ME’ FOR ALL STRICT GRADING, SHIPPING AND PAYMENT TERMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
