ERIC DOLPHY      OUTWARD BOUND      

PRESTIGE 7311 (8236) DEEP GROVE MONO  
RVG  IN DEAD WAX, YELLOW FIREWORKS PRESTIGE LABEL, BERGENFIELD N.J.  ADDRESS (BEFORE 1964, THE 'TRIDENT' LABEL AFTER 1964).

THIS IS THE 2ND COVER (1963) RELEASE OF THE DOLPHY'S DEBUT AS A LEADER (RECORDED 1960). THIS ONE WAS FIRST RELEASED WITH THE ORIGINAL PRESTIGE LABEL NOT THE 'NEW JAZZ' LABEL.

THIS DISC WAS RIGHT AT THE NEW RELEASE, IT HAS THE ORIGINAL NJLP 8236/NJLP 8236 B  IN THE DEAD WAX  CANCELLED (WHEN PRESTIGE REISSUED THE DISC THESE WERE STILL THE EARLIER PRESSING AND WERE RE-NUMBERED AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE FROM THE DISC).

THIS IS A REMARKABLE RECORD IN ITS JUXTAPOSITION OF THE HARD BOP RHYTHM SECTION WITH DOLPHY PLAYING DOLPHY (IT IS PERHAPS SIMILAR TO LIKE COLTRANE AROUND BLUE TRAIN BEFORE HE BROKE PAST THE BOP TRADITION AND PUT TOGETHER THE QUARTET, WHICH WOULD ALSO INCLUDE DOLPHY FOR A TIME). DOLPHY'S SOLOING IS STUNNING THROUGHOUT, AND BYARD AND HAYNES (AS USUAL) ARE INVENTIVE AND DRIVING, TRULY EXCELLENT. I DO NOT FIND IT HUBBARD'S BEST PERFORMANCE.  BUT IN ANY CASE, DOLPHY'S BASS CLARINET AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF GREEN DOLPHIN STREET ARE TRANSCENDENT JAZZ MUSIC.

THIS IS EX+/NM IT HAS FULL SHINE AND PERFECT LABELS. THERE IS A SHORT SURFACE SCRATCH ON SIDE 2 THE LAST MINUTE OF 'MISS TONI', JUST BEFORE THE RUN OUT, IT DOES NOT SOUND AT ALL,

SIDE 1 HAS A SCUFF MARK ON 'LES' THAT DOES NOT SOUND.  THE DISC PLAYS QUIET AND CLEAN (PRESTIGE DISCS SOMETIMES HAVE ISSUES WITH SURFACE NOISE NOT ONLY SCRATCHES AND WEAR).

THE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT, NICE COLOR A LITTLE RING TOP AND BOTTOM AND A LITTLE CHIPPING AT THE CORNERS, THE BACK IS CLEAN WITH A BIT OF YELLOWING AROUND THE FRAME. THERE IS A STORE PRICE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER. THE SPINE IS FINE WITH A BIN SCUFF THAT BREAKS THE COLOR LOW DOWN. (PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES).    

This is a superior super quality disc from 1963, deep groove mono, it plays beautifully (I listened to it yesterday evening).

I listen to the entire record before I list. I am not one of those sellers who is looking at the disc under a 500 watt bulb, I am interested letting you know how the disc looks, what the obvious and less obvious marks are but more importantly I am interested, like you, in how the disc sounds,  

I am a fair grader and my system is unforgiving, I use an Ortophon 2 red with an Audio-Technica 1240 (tracking 1.8g), a Marantz pm 5005 and Bowers and Wilkins speakers, little escapes unheard). Before you purchase a record from me I want you to know as close as is possible (listening is a subjective art) what you are getting. 

I am including the original white inner sleeve, but I have placed the disc in a MOFI anti-scratch, anti-static master sleeve.

I ship usps priority 2 day, the US post built the country, it is our most treasured institution  we should all support it against efforts to privatize and destroy it.
