·       KENNY DORHAM WITH SONNY ROLLINS, HANK JONES, MAX ROACH, OSCAR PETTITFORD AND OTHERS - JAZZ CONTRASTS - ORIGINAL 1958 RIVERSIDE RECORDS MONO LP RLP-1105

·       ORIGINAL U.S. PRESSING

·       INCREDIBLE, UNDOCUMENTED, AND LITERALLY UNKNOWN TO EXIST (MIS)PRESSING ON DARK, OPAQUE RED VINYL !!! HOW THIS RED VINYL VERSION OF THE ALBUM CAME ABOUT, WE HAVE NOT A SLIGHTEST IDEA. THE ONLY THEORY WE HAVE IS THAT THE PRESSING PLANT CONFUSED RIVERSIDE WITH FANTASY RECORDS (BOTH COMPANIES USED SIMILAR, BLUE LABELS, ALTHOUGH BLUE FANTASY LABELS WERE STEREO, WHEREAS BLUE RIVERSIDE PRESSINGS WERE MONO). BECAUSE FANTASY RECORDS PRESSINGS AT THE TIME WERE ALL ON RED VINYL, WE SUSPECT THAT THE PRESSING PLANT SIMPLY MIXED UP THE TWO LABELS AND USED RED VINYL FOR THIS RIVERSIDE ALBUM IN ERROR)

·       DEEP GROOVE PRESSING

·       ORIGINAL 'SMALL' BLUE RIVERSIDE MONO LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT, AND 'MICROPHONE AND REEL' LOGO

·       THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, FIRST U.S. PRESSING; THIS IS NOT A REISSUE, AN IMPORT, OR A COUNTERFEIT PRESSING.

·       THICK CARDBOARD COVER, AMERICAN STYLE

·       ORIGINAL GLOSSY, LIGHTLY LAMINATED COVER

·       CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS

·       THICK, HEAVY VINYL PRESSING

(►PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN BELOW)

(Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you’ll get. GUARANTEED!)

(PLEASE EXCUSE US FOR HOLDING THE RECORD BY THE GROOVE AREA; THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY WE COULD CAPTURE THE RED OPAQUE VINYL)

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)            WE GRADE THE VINYL AS VERY GOOD+ . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b)            The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)            Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (this is the original, glossy, lightly laminated, cover)

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD++.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has a partially split top seam (between 6 and 8 inches /15 to 20 centimeters)

-         Cover has a partially split bottom seam (less than 1 inch / 2.5 centimeters)

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / frayed / bent.

-         Cover has a small quality control (inspection) stamp on the back panel

-         Back cover has a small original price sticker, which may be possible to remove with a little effort (we did not attempt to)

-         Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2.
