Notes

Recorded on September 29, 1957.


LP is VG+, with light scuffs and a couple of tiny scratches - plays with some surface noise. There is one quick skip at about 5:20 during the first song on the second side(titled Cooker 3). I have included both the whole song and just the skip (along with the rest of the songs) for reference. This is an original mono US pressing with a deep groove on either side. The address on either side is the 47 West 63rd address, and DOES NOT have the "R" underneath the "E" in Blue Note at the bottom of the interior labels. The matrix area has the ear and RVG stamped on either side. The actual matrix info is as follows: "the ear" followed by stamped RVG with etched BN-LP-1578-A / "the ear" followed by stamped RVG with etched BN-LP-1578-B. The back of the jacket has the 47 West 63rd St address printed at the bottom. Listen to all of the tracks from this actual LP, for reference:

Cooker 2.mp3
Cooker 3.mp3
Cooker Skip.mp3
Cooker 4.mp3
Cooker 5.mp3

Interior labels are clean and LP retains a nice gloss. Jacket is VG+, with a seam split in the center of the spine. Split is almost 4 inches long, and has been reinforced with clear tape (see pictures). All corners show corner wear. There are a couple of small wear spots on the spine. There is a small air bubble under the laminate on the front of the jacket along the bottom seam. The back has a couple of small spots of discoloration, but over all very clean. There is light writing in pencil in the top right corner on the back of the jacket (see pictures). Jacket retains a nice gloss and the colors remain bright. This is a solid addition to any jazz collection! Don't miss this rare gem! We will pack this securely for safe delivery - this will be a little heavy due to the inserts we put in the LP mailer. LP will be packaged inside of a paper sleeve and placed in a polybag, outside of the jacket. Domestic delivery will be via USPS media mail including a tracking number.
