DUKE PEARSON - ANGEL EYES
Great condition 1968 UK 1st press copy of this highly collectable jazz rarity with the little played vinyl and wonderfully impressive stereo sound quality being true highlights
Year/Label : 1968 UK POLYDOR Label number : 583 723 Matrix numbers : 583723 A//1 420 / 583723 B//1 420 Stampers : 11 2, 11 1Truly excellent plus (EX+) condition jet black sheen vinyl with just a couple of side 2 small and extremely faint scuff marks, only really visible when viewed closely under a bright light - nothing feelable or below the surface and purely superficial as borne out by the superb stereo sound quality. Pristine labels - very difficult to make out any faint spindle trails at all...remarkable! Clearly this is a record that has been very sparingly played...just a few times at most. Fully laminated MacNeill Press very good plus (VG+) condition outer sleeve with firm and completely unscuffed edges; the 1st press "nipped" end spine is also firm with all spine text remaining fully intact (just some very minor spine buckling in a couple of locations), each corner remains a near perfect right angle with barely any corner rubbing at all, and the opening edges remain straight and taut with no fraying or foxing. There is a thin strip of vertical laminate lifting adjacent to the spine on both the front and reverse sides and a few non-obvious very light surface laminate creases on both the front and reverse sides (see photos), but apart from these very minor blemishes the condition of the sleeve is hard to fault with the iconic art work and colouring remaining beautifully intact. Excellent plus (EX+) STEREO audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, interference or distortion and any background crackle is at an absolute minimum...negligible in fact, with just the hint of some very background crackle during a couple of the intermissions...nothing really. Great tone with crystal clear instrumentation and every track a great listen. Comes with original plain white "MADE IN ENGLAND" poly-lined inner sleeve with no edge splits, some noticeable creasing in three of the corners and towards the bottom edge, and some very mild age discolouration towards the edges. A truly excellent condition copy of this sparingly played UK 1st press jazz rarity - difficult to believe that this record is now 56 years old, especially in condition as impressive as this.
POSTAGE COSTS :
For the UK £4 using Royal Mail tracked 48;
for continental Europe £13 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for,
and for the rest of the world £19 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for.
I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.
If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.
If this record interests you then take a look at my other listings for more 50's, 60's and 70's classic vinyl.
A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
