Description

Please keep attuned to my site because I am now selling an extraordinary collection of near mint records that I have hand picked from probably the most legendary private collection on earth. In the 1980s and 1990s, my special friendship with the famous jazz auctioneer Leon Levitt resulted in my being invited to his home in Sun Valley, California and given the opportunity to acquire the best of the best of any jazz record in which I expressed an interest. If he had twenty or thirty copies of a particular record, which was not unusual, he would allow me to take them all home and choose the best cover and the best sounding and cleanest copy of the bunch. I did this methodically for at least ten years and accumulated a collection that in terms of condition rarity is second to none on the face of the earth. I am now going to be selling these records in small groupings on ebay. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire some amazing records. I have a perfect record on ebay and, if you check the commentaries on my transactions, you will and should be perfectly comfortable with my representations. These sales are going to continue throughout the year. I cannot emphasize enough that these records are all the original first pressing, thick and chunky, and have been play graded as well as sight graded, and they will all be in extraordinary condition.

This is the Seventh installment of extraordinary records from the Leon Leavitt special collection that I was allowed to accumulate.

This another spectacular MONO Blue Note from the Levit collection. This is HANK MOBLEY Blue Note 1550. It features Hank Mobley, Art Farmer, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins and Art Blakey. It is the ORIGINAL DEEP GROOVE WEST 63RD ST with the deep groove on both sides and the ear in the dead vinyl. The record is in unplayed NM+++ condition. The vinyl is thick and hefty, brilliantly shiny, chunky as befits a FIRST PRESSING, unblemished and stunningly beautiful. There are no spindle marks on the perfectly preserved labels and the cover is pristine, fresh with all of its coloration fully vivid and intense. The corners are perfectly squared and the cover looks like it just came out of the factory. The record has been carefully play graded and it sounds as good as it looks, which means it play beautifully. This is the second most sought after Mobley Blue Note, after 1568, and this is a perfect copy. If you are fortunate enough to win this record, you will never have to upgrade it. Leon regarded this as the finest copy he had ever sold..

I will ship to USA or overseas. Shipping in the USA will be $25.00.. Shipping overseas will depend on location and postal rates. Payment must be made within three days of winning the auction by Paypal only.
