Description
LEE MORGAN The Rajah Blue Note BST 84426
Up for auction is an original 1984 Blue Note FIRST stereo pressing of Lee Morgan's great 1966 quintet session, "The Rajah". Comprised of 5 covers and the title track (a Morgan composition), this fantastic session sat in the vaults for 18 years until dragged out by Michael Cuscuna (his contribution to the archive of jazz music is unparalleled). Great music.
DEAD WAX INFO: Side 1 has M9 348213 2 and BST 84426 DA 21 all stamped into the dead wax. Side 2 has M9 348214 2 and BST 84426 DB 21 all stamped into the dead wax. 1984 Blue Note DMM press (U.S.) VINYL VISUAL: NM with no issues. Labels show no play, but I have played it once since new, I think.
VINYL PLAY GRADE: NM with GREAT fidelity and a very low noise level. As good a player as you will find of this press.
COVER VISUAL: VG+ and much better with light seam, spine and corner wear. Show great.
Comes with plastic-lined Blue Note branded printed paper inner of the era. Poster that came with these pressings is also included (see pictures). DETAILS ON SELLER AND SHIPPING
HELLO ALL. My name is Jamie, and I have been collecting records steadily for over 45 years. After a bit of a respite from selling on Ebay, I am back and will be selling a ton of stuff over the next few years. My tastes run all over the map, so there will be something for everyone. All opened items will be visually AND aurally graded. All Dead Wax info will be listed. Play grade is done on a Thorens TD 165 through Yamaha amplification and JBL reference headphones (treble set high so there will be no surprises when you get the item).
ALL ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH PROPER MAILERS AND EXTRA PADDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS. I HAVE MADE FAR TOO MANY PURCHASES ON EBAY WHERE THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED WITH DINGED CORNERS DUE TO INADEQUATE PACKAGING MATERIAL. BY USING FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP IN ALL FOUR CORNERS, YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF AN ITEM WITHOUT DINGED CORNERS (OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER). Non-tracked shipping throughout the U.S.A will be $13 CANADIAN per item, as will tracked shipping within Canada. Tracked shipping to the U.S.A. will be $16 CANADIAN for items under 500g, and slightly more for items over 500g. Most single sleeve items can be shipped as under 500g. Gatefolds and multi-sets will be over 500g.
Being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing ALL of the shipping material cost, and some of the actual postage cost.
If you have issue with an item, PLEASE work with me to achieve an outcome that will be to your satisfaction. I do offer full refunds (excluding cost to get it back to me), on any item that is not satisfactory. SINCE SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE (Thank You Canada Post), I will rarely list gatefolds or multi-items for sale overseas. IF ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS CRAZY INTERESTED IN ANY ITEM, I WILL QUOTE SHIPPING ON REQUEST. Since a lot of the stuff that I will be selling is of higher end quality, rarely will things be offered overseas. Sorry folks. Again, I can consider requests on an item-by-item basis. THANKS FOR READING, everyone. Occasionally I will be selling rare and collectible CDs. Shipping obviously will be much less, around $5 CANADIAN within North America.
