Description
PRESTIGE PRLP 7043 Original pressing. Deep groove.
Sleeve shows minimal shelf wear at corners and along seams and at opening.
Vinyl is in EX shape, given its age. Occasional but infrequent pops. Very minimal surface noise during quieter moments in the tracks, and a few light scuffs, but it plays without a hitch. Under strong light you’ll see all the minor imperfections, but nothing that would affect play.
One noticeable ding on side 2, but doesn't interrupt things.
Record details:
-
Yellow and black label with fireworks
-
Center of label reads “Prestige Records Inc. 446 W. 59th St. N.Y.C.”
-
RVG is etched in the run-out
-
Outer lip of record is flat
Personnel: Elmo Hope, piano; Donald Byrd, trumpet; Hank Mobley, tenor saxophone; John Coltrane, tenor saxophone; Paul Chambers, bass; Philly Joe Jones, drums.

Read all the way this far? Great! My dad bought this record when he was a teenage kid listening to jazz. This record traveled across the country a few times, safely boxed in with the rest of his collection for a good 40 years or so. Until now, when I finally put it on my turntable. If you’re serious about this one and want to hear unedited recordings, please let me know.

One additional note, given the inflated price of this record, I'll be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Bronx Music Heritage Center in honor of my dad.
