A MINT MINUS/VG++ LP ON BLUE NOTE BLP 4252
FROM 1967 IN MONO AN AUDITION COPY RUBBER STAMPED IN BLUE ON BACK COVER AS SHOWN
Q: WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT A PROMOTIONAL LP? A: PROMOTIONAL LPS GENERALLY SPEAKING WERE THE FIRST PRESSINGS OF A PARTICULAR ISSUE TO BE HANDED OUT TO RADIO STATIONS, PERSONNEL AND OTHER PROMOTIONAL VENUES. MANY BELIEVE THE PROMO COPIES TO BE SUPERIOR IN SOUND QUALITY, SINCE THEY CAME OFF THE MOTHERS FIRST.
RECORDED BY RUDY VAN GELDER WITH Van Gelder IN THE DEAD WAX BOTH SIDES
WITH FREDDIE HUBBARD ON TRUMPET, JAMES SPAULDING ON ALTO SAX & FLUTE, JOE HENDERSON ON TENOR SAX, DUKE ON PIANO, RON CARTER ON BASS, MICKEY ROKER ON DRUMS
WITH THE ORIGINAL BLUE NOTE 1939-1966 INNER SLEEVE AS SHOWN
TRACKS AS SHOWN ON THE LABEL PHOTOS
BACKGROUND INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
Pianist/composer Duke Pearson leads an all-star group on this run-through of seven of his compositions. The musicians -- trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, altoist James Spaulding, Joe Henderson on tenor, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Mickey Roker, and the pianist/leader -- are actually more impressive than many of the compositions, although the swinging minor-toned "Big Bertha" deserved to become a standard. The frameworks are quite intelligent, everyone doesn't solo on each selection, and the improvisations are concise and clearly related to each tune's melody and mood. Although not quite essential, this set has some rewarding music.
COVER STOCK IN NEAR FINE CONDITION SINCE IT WAS STORED IN PLASTIC SLEEVE SINCE PURCHASE. BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER WITH SMALL CRUSH MARK. EDGES CLEAN AND SHARP. A SMALL WHITE RUB MARK ON FRONT TO LEFT OF HER HEAD. NOTWITHSTANDING, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, SO PLEASE DO LOOK AT THE COVER PHOTOS TO ASCERTAIN COVER CONDITION.
SPINDLE HOLE WITH SOME LIGHT RUB MARKS; DEAD WAX AREA WITH FINGERPRINTS AND SOME OF THE BLUE IN THE LABEL SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN OVERPRINTED INTO THE WHITE AREAS WITH FINGERPRINTS. THE HIGH LUSTER VINYL BLANK AT FIRST GLANCE OUT OF THE SLEEVE APPEARS UNUSUALLY PRISTINE AND TO HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED, MUCH LESS TOUCHED, BEFORE NOW. UNDER BRIGHT ANGLED LIGHT AND ASSIDUOUS EXAMINATION A FEW LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS AND PAPER SLEEVE STORAGE IMPRESSIONS.
