Description
CHARLIE PARKER ~ THE BIRD BLOWS THE BLUES ~ DIAL 901. FROM 1950 IS THIS VERY EARLY ISSUE 12" 33 1/3 OF SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS (AND INFAMOUS) CHARLIE PARKER SIDES. THIS TOUCHSTONE LP HAS THE COVER AT VG++ WITH SOME AGE SPOTS TO THE FRONT (THAT MIGHT CLEAN OFF) BUT IS VERY SOLID AND NICE. THE THICK DISC DEFINES "PLATTER" AND HAS SIDE ONE GRADED VG++ IN PLAYBACK. A BIT OF NOISE ON TRACK 4 BUT PLAYS REALLY CLEAN THOUGH THERE IS THE INHERENT PRESSING NOISE AND THIS IS NOT A HIGH FIDELITY RECORDING. SIDE TWO STARTS WITH 6 REPETITIVE CLICKS AND PLAYS THROUGH WITH CONSISTENT, MID LEVEL EXTRANEOUS NOISE, BUT NO MORE CLICKS OR POPS. IT'S GRADED "GOOD" FOR THAT REASON. NOT BY ANY MEANS UNLISTENABLE, JUST RATHER IRRITATING. NO SKIPS OR LOUD POPS, JUST CONSISTENT, EXTRANEOUS NOISE - WHICH THE MUSIC RISES ABOVE. PHYSICALLY SIDE ONE LOOKS VG++, SIDE TWO VG+. LABELS ARE VG++. SO, I'LL GRADE THIS VG OVERALL. THIS WAS LISTENED TO IN MONO MODE AND WILL LIKELY SOUND NOISEIER (IS THAT A WORD?) IN STEREO. A GOOD CLEANING MIGHT HELP A BIT. SO, A DECENT COPY OF A RARE BEBOP SMALL LABEL CHARLIE PARKER LP THAT IS ICONIC AND LISTENABLE.
SORRY, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RESERVE ON THIS ITEM.
