Description
LESTER YOUNG AND HIS TENOR SAX ALADDIN ALBUM NO. 706 10" LP FEATURING THE FIRST APPEARANCE ON LP OF THE GREAT MODERN JAZZ PIANIST KENNY DREW. FIRST ISSUE, DEEP GROOVE, FLAT EDGE, SUPER THICK AND HEAVY VINYL. 10" LP'S ON THE ALADDIN LABEL ARE VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND TODAY.LIKE COMMODORE RECORDS, THEY FELT THE 12" 78 RPM RECORD WAS THE BEST SELLING FORMAT FOR THEM, SO THEY MADE 10" LP'S IN EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITIES. THIS VINYL IS SOLID VG++, NICE AND CLEAN, WITH SOME SLIGHT SCUFFS AND FAINT SURFACE MARKS WHICH DO NOT SOUND. THE HI FIDELITY IS VERY QRISP AND SOLID WITH A VERY WIDE RANGE AND WARM TONAL HUE, ESP. FROM LESTER'S SAX AND KENNY'S PIANO. THE VINYL HAS A FULL LUSTER AND SHEEN WITH NO GROOVE WEAR. THIS LP IS REALLY A GREAT LISTEN. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT, BLUE AND SILVER ALADDIN DESIGN WITH STRONG DEEP GROOVE IMPRESSION. THE VINYL IS ACTUALLY EXTREMELY THICK, AND THE DEEP GROOVE MARK LOOKS LIKE A DOUBLE STAMP - IT IS SO DEEP ON THE LABELS. WHEN ONE HOLDS THIS LP AND COVER IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS MADE TO LAST MANY LIFETIMES (SOMETHING WE SADLY LACK TODAY IN OUR STANDARD MANUFACTURING AND CRAFTSMANSHIP LEVEL). THE CLASSIC COVER IS VERY THICK AND HEAVY, LAMINATED, WITH KAKUBUCHI FRAME LINES. IT IS SOLID VG++ WITH JUST LIGHT EDGE WEAR BUT NO HINT OF SPLITS (THE REAL REASON FOR THE VG++ RATING IS THAT SOMEONE WROTE VERY SMALL ONE LINE NOTES NEXT TO EACH TUNE ON THE BACK COVER IN BALL POINT PEN - THIS WRITING IS VERY SMALL BUT IT IS THERE SO HENCE A LOWER RATING). THE BACK COVER ALSO FEATURES A GREAT PHOTO PORTRAIT OF LESTER. THE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY COLORFUL CLASSIC GRAPHIC IS BY NYC DESIGNER IRV GRAYSON WHO WAS A DESIGNER FOR DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE FOR OVER 25 YEARS. A CLASSIC MODERN JAZZ LP BY LESTER YOUNG, WITH MAGNIFICENT PLAYING BY A VERY YOUNG KENNY DREW. A GEM!
