On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Herbie Hancock called "Takin' Off" and is a 1962 U.S. Stereo Pressing on the Blue Note label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE BLUE NOTE LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT I DO NOT IN ANY WAY CLAIM ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BLUE NOTE LABEL!!!!  THE ONLY HISTORY I HAVE WITH THIS LP IS THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY BOUGHT IN A UK RECORD SHOP IN THE MID 1960s AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPORTED TO THE UK IN THIS SAME PERIOD.  SO IT IS DEFINITELY A VERY EARLY PRESSING OF THIS LP INDEED AND CERTAINLY NO LATER THAN THE MID 1960s!!!!
HOWEVER, I KNOW THERE ARE ABOUT A MILLION DIFFERENT BLUE NOTE VARIATIONS IN THE EARLY TO MID 1960s - SO I WILL SIMPLY SAY THAT THIS LP IS A STEREO PRESSING, HAS A NORMAL GROOVE ON THE LABEL (NOT A DEEP ONE), AND HAS AN 'R' AFTER BLUE NOTE ON THE LABELS.  FROM THIS, I AM SURE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK OUT EXACTLY WHAT YEAR OF THE EARLY 1960s THIS LP IS FROM!!!!  MY ESTIMATION IS AROUND 1965/66.  HOWEVER, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS A VERY VERY EARLY STEREO PRESSING, AND VERY VERY RARE INDEED!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN BRILLIANT CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE 1962 U.S. STEREO PRESSING ON THE 'GROOVED' BLUE NOTE LABEL, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND THICK QUALITY STEREO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the Blue Note U.S. Pressing from 1962 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is BST 84109 on the Blue Note label (see picture) and is a Stereo 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better and plays SUPERBLY!!!!  BRILLIANT RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL Thick Quality MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, NO edge wear, NO edge splits, NO spinal wear, NO spine splits, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO stickers, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (apart from a touch to the darker picture), NO rips, NO tears, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, barely ANY yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better - and is a very VERY nice cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
