Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB overall condition vinyl 2 LP Set and a 1972 issue on the Blue Note Records label and the remarkable self-titled final session as a leader by legendary trumpeter LEE MORGAN titled "Lee Morgan"---the album was recorded in September 1971 by RUDY VAN GELDER (the vinyl has VAN GELDER stamped in the runout grooves of all four sides) and features GRACHAN MONCUR III on trombone, BILLY HARPER on tenor saxophone and alto flute, BOBBI HUMPHREY on flute, HAROLD MABERN on piano and electric piano, REGGIE WORKMAN on acoustic bass and percussion, JYMIE MERRITT on electric bass, and FREDDIE WAITS on drums--this is a wonderful final musical testament by Lee Morgan, who was tragically killed six months after this recording. The LP is a Blue Note Records 2nd Pressing issued in 1973 with the serial numberr BST-84901, is a Stereo issue with VAN GELDER stamped in all four runout grooves and was made in the United States.
This 2 LP Set is in SUPERB overall condition and the vinyl should play beautifully overall and is in VG++ condition on album one with some very light pressing bubbles near the beginning of the sides which produce a few light and scattered pops--the LP otherwise has just a few light paper scuffs that should not signifcantly affect play; record two is in NEAR MINT- (Ex)  and has some light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play;  The deluxe gatefold cover is also in NM- condition with a tiny owner's first name on the bottom right of the front surface (Lee Morgan's left leg), slight 1/2 inch clean splits on the lower opening edges, a VERY slight rounded corner on the lower right tip and very light ding on the upper opening tip, a light forward list of the spine end, VERY slight ringwear on the surfaces and just very light shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant flaws!  The ORIGINAL BLUE NOTE INNER SLEEVES are both included and in beautiful shape.

Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!
