Be sure to look at my other auctions!  I have many great titles for sale this week.


Artist: Kenny Dorham 
Title: Quiet Kenny 
Label/Catalog #: New Jazz 8225
Mono/Stereo: Mono 
Details:  Rare first pressing of this holy grail!  Deep groove labels, RVG. Comes with the original glassine inner sleeve it was issued with. Ultrasonic cleaned. 


Record condition: Visually VG++ and plays fantastic! Looks beautiful and plays as clean as you could possibly expect. Visually this still retains most its original gloss and shows only some minor sleeve traces. Seems to be seldom played and handled with care. Play graded in full. The vast majority plays a clean NM or NM-. A couple brief passages of faint background crackle are hardly worth mentioning. The rest plays with hardly any noise to mention at all. Marvelous player, will please virtually all listeners! 

Cover:  Strong VG+. One small stripe of tape residue on back, otherwise superb in all respects. Crease on back was done at the time of manufacturing. Corners are sharp, I noticed that the top left corner has some glare in the photo which does not exist in person. Seams are perfect other than one tiny nick on bottom. A lovely set! 

Labels: See photos
