Description
Blue Note is loved, revered, respected and recognized as one of the most important record labels in the history of popular music. In the late 1950s, many Blue Note artists were moving from Charlie Parker style Hard Bop towards a more accessible Funky Blues style which would feed through into Soul by the end of the 1960s.
Lee Morgan returned with a new album including “The Sidewinder”, an accessible long meter (24 bar) blues; supported by a line-up of Joe Henderson, Barry Harris, Bob Cranshaw and Billy Higgins.
Record Grading and Condition: G+ This copy is a US Import bought in the UK during the 1960s and played regularly at that time. The disc has been inspected to find small scratches but plays OK with some light noise.
Sleeve Grading: G Scuffing and wear particularly at the corners, discoloration on both sides due to age and usage plus small stains at the bottom. The Blue Note interior sleeve is captioned “26 YEARS BLUE NOTE”.
Label & Authentication: Blue Note Records Inc, 43 West 61st St, New York 23, “VAN GELDER” machine pressed into the run-out on both sides, dating production from 1961-62 onwards.
Note to intending buyers: This posting is from a collection of Blue Note LPs of varying quality and rarity bought in the 1960s then stored until now. Each record on sale is over 50 years old, so I have tried to be deliberately conservative in stating rating levels of Good+/Good according to Ebay guidelines. All feedback will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
THANKS to all of the BLUE NOTE collectors who have given my albums a new home over the last couple of months. Sadly this is one of the last on sale; but some more 1960s Jazz from other labels will be listed soon. Watch this space.
