Description
HANK MOBLEY Dippin' Blue Note ST - 84209
This is a stone original 1966 stereo Blue Note pressing of Hank Mobley's "Dippin'" lp. Featuring some fine playing from a rejuvenated Lee Morgan. Excellent rhythm section as well. A great (later) hard bop session. I just opened this about 3 months ago and was pleasantly surprised to find a stone original. The lp remains UNPLAYED!
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has BNST-84209-A etched into the dead wax. Side 2 has BNST-84209-B etched into the dead wax. Both sides have VAN GELDER stamped into the dead wax area. Stone original first pressing, as this lp was never pressed at a Plastylite facility (no ears / P). It was one of the first lps pressed after the Liberty buyout.
Vinyl Visual Grade: NM with no marks worth mention, full gloss and some slight mottling from being in a paper sleeve for near 50 years. Perfect labels as this lp has not been set down on a turntable yet.
Vinyl Play Grade: Assumed NM with AS NEW fidelity (the lp remains unplayed) and probably the best listen of this lp that you will find, period (ANYWHERE).
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ on this original New York 23 paste-over cover with full shrink. Some slight water damage lower left front which has caused a wee bit of ripple and slight bubble. All in all very nice indeed.
Comes with original Blue Note 27-year paper inner (NM condition). LP will be housed in a separate Audiophile rice plastic style inner.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.
Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).
I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
