Description

Lou Donaldson's The Time is Right, on original 1960 first pressing Blue Note LP BLP-4025. Rudy Van Gelder RVG stamps in runoffs, with the "ear". Great hard/funky bop, in the classic Blue Note style with incredible production and a beautiful deep-groove pressing. This copy is in really nice playing condition. It appears about VG, with some scuffs and light marks, mainly on side two where there is a long rub visible, but it is just a surface mark and makes no sound. After I had both sides ultrasound-cleaned it plays beautifully with just a touch of light background noise here and there, mostly between tracks and in the occasional quiet passage, mainly just the bass solo on Crosstown Shuffle. The play is for the most part EX, sounding just perfect nearly all the way through with only occasionally noticeable faint noise. Absolutely beautiful to hear on the original. The cover has a seam split at the top edge, about 1/3 of the way, and there is a center seam split at the bottom edge that is very tight and not very noticeable. Otherwise it just has light shelfwear and looks beautiful. Only light surface rubbing and the bare beginnings of very light ringwear. A beautiful copy.
