ATTENTION OTTILIE PATTERSON,CHRIS BARBER AND 1960s BRITISH BLUES ALBUM COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! IGNORE EVERY OTHER COPY ON EBAY AND LOOK AT THIS STUNNING ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION MONO LP FROM 1962! 

OTTILIE PATTERSON WITH CHRIS BARBER'S JAZZ BAND:"BLUES BOX-VOLUME ONE".

HERE IS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE VERY BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD IN 28 YEARS AS A DEALER OF AN ALBUM WHICH USUALLY TURNS UP IN DREADFUL CONDITION!

1962 EMI PRESSED COLUMBIA 33SX 1333 WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "GOLD PRINT" DESIGN LABELS,THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1N/1N MATRIXES AND THE RAISED PRINT E T TAX CODE ON ONE LABEL. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL EMITEX POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT AND A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK SLEEVE WITH THE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE EARLIEST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP!

I DISCOVERED THIS GEM WITHIN THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER VERY CAREFUL JAZZ AND CLASSICAL MUSIC COLLECTOR THAT CLEARLY HAD VERY FEW PLAYS INDEED! JUST BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT AN LP FROM 52 YEARS AGO SOUNDS LIKE WITH PRACTICALLY NO CRACKLE,NO DISTORTION,NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO SWISHES-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING COPY! GLEAMING SURFACES THAT RARELY EXIST ON ANY LP OF THIS AGE LET ALONE A 1960s JAZZ ONE THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR SURFACE MARKS ADDED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF USE BY THE MAJORITY OF BUYERS IN 1962!  THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER AND THAT IS BEING MEGA-STRICT!

DOES THE GRADING MINT EXIST? ONLY IF IT IS 100% UNPLAYED AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED WHICH IS WHY REGULAR BUYERS WILL KNOW MY NEAR MINT GRADINGS EQUAL MOST PEOPLE'S MINT! THEREFORE FOR ME TO ADD "VERY"TO MY NEAR MINT GRADING GIVES YOU THE IMPRESSION JUST HOW OUTSTANDING THIS EXAMPLE IS!

LOCATING AN OUTSTANDING VERY NEAR MINT COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING DISTORTION AND MAJOR WEAR. THIS COPY IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD AND AS SUCH THE DISC IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THICK VINYL.NO SPINDLE WEAR. NO WRITING, STAINING OR FADING! 

THE LAMINATED+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES. THERE IS THE LPs TIMING OF EACH SIDE AND DATE ADDED NEATLY IN BLUE PEN AT THE BACK+ A SMALL PEN SCRIBBLE BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WRITING.NO STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS. THERE IS A WONDERFUL SHEEN AND CLEANLINESS WHICH TAKES THE BREATH AWAY! THIS WILL BE HARD TO BEAT! FACT!

THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER I HAVE EVER SEEN!  

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE SPINE+BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE CHRIS BARBER LPs ENDING FROM ME FOR AUCTION ON EBAY WITHIN MINUTES OF THIS AUCTION ENDING.

I WOULD ADVISE SENDING THIS LP SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH BUT PLEASE NO TIMEWASTERS.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
