Graded Cover/Record

2 LP 45 RPM AcousTech Analogue Productions 

Limited Edition # 0268

I am selling off my entire Pop, Rock and Roll, Jazz and Surf record collection that I have been collecting for over 42 years. Up for bid is a brand new Near MINT copy of The Blue Note 45RPM Reissue Series from AcousTech Music Matters series!  I bought the entire series in 2014 and so this is the original edition and played once still with original plastic wrap!  Warm analog sound and in Stereo! 

Hank Mobley: Soul Station Blue Note ST-84031 Analogue Productions STEREO: Near Mint/VG  ***The only reason for the official VG grade is due to a lacquering flaw as described below.  Otherwise, vinyl is super clean brand new Near Mint played only by me once! The only other flaws would be minor superficial scuffs/hairlines from taking the record out of it's inner plastic lined sleeve.  The VG physical flaw is what looks like a lacquering flaw from the factory on 3 sides which have what looks like a light gray colored paint brush strokes of about 6"  inches on each side on the outermost part of the vinyl.  The width of these strokes is about 1/2".  Side 1 has two of these.  Side 2 has only one. Side 3 has one and Side 4 has 2.  I played it last night and this sounds absolutely fantastic and I could not discern any flaws in the sound.  Looks like this is a visual defect only and does not compromise the sound.  Analogue Productions pressings are known for their fantastic fidelity.  Limited Edition # 0268!  Cover is super clean and still looks brand new with super nice gloss.  Original plastic lined paper inner sleeves are in very good condition.

For 2014, Blue Note — along with Universal Music Enterprises — is launching a major 75th Anniversary Vinyl Initiative that is dedicated to the proposition that Blue Note's catalog should be readily available at a low cost — featuring high quality pressings and authentic reproductions of Blue Note's iconic packaging.

Soul Station is Hank Mobley's acknowledged masterpiece. Mobley's hot, brilliantly constructed solos have a smooth sound and an easy feel. With Miles Davis at the time, Mobley is joined by band mates Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers along with a magnificent Art Blakey. A true classic.

This album features Hank Mobley at the peak of his powers, taking lengthy solos full of passion and drive, balancing exciting ideas with a thoughtful approach. His four originals include his most famous composition, "This I Dig Of You," which he squeezes for every ounce of its expressive power. Hank plays with heartbreaking lyricism on the two standards "If I Should Lose You and "Remember" and creates masterful statements throughout this essential set. If proof were ever needed of Hank Mobley's greatness, Soul Station is perfect evidence.

Side 1 Remember This I Dig Of You Dig Dis
Side 2 Split Feelin’s Soul Station If I Should Lose You

Be on the lookout for the rest of my collection including 2 other artists that have the same flaw Arnett Cobb Sizzlin' and Horace Parlan Us 3!
