MAX ROACH HANK MOBLEY DEBUT DLP 13 10”LP WITH WALTER DAVIS AND FRANKLIN SKEETE. FIRST ISSUE, FLAT EDGE, DEEP GROOVE, VERY THICK AND HEAVY VINYL, CONDITION VG++, NM-. PRESSED ON THE SUPERIOR TYPE OF VINYL SOME FIRST ISSUE DEBUTS LPS ARE ON; PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW FOR AN EXPLANATION OF DEBUT VINYL TYPES. VINYL HAS FULL LUSTER AND SHEEN, WITH JUST A FEW SLIGHT SURFACE MARKS, BUT NO GROOVE WEAR, NICE CLEAN FIDELITY AND VIVID PRESENCE. THIS FIRST ISSUE OF DLP 13 IS ONE OF THE RAREST VINTAGE 10” LPS AND IS VERY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS WORLDWIDE. THIS PIECE IS ALSO THE FIRST APPEARANCE ON LP OF THE LEGENDARY HANK MOBLEY. COVER - SOLID NM, CLEAN, THICK AND HEAVY WITH NO WEAR OF ANY KIND. VERY BEAUTIFUL ABSTRACT GRAPHICS AND PHOTO OF MAX ON THE BACK. A BOP MASTERPIECE! WHEN ONE CONSIDERS THAT THIS LP WAS FIRST SOLD FROM MINGUS’ APARTMENT BY MAIL ORDER, IT BECOMES APPARENT HOW EXTRODINARILY RARE A FIRST ISSUE OF THIS LP IS—A GEM!!

NOTE: THE DEBUT COMPANY WAS INDEPENDENTLY RUN AND FOUNDED BY CHARLES MINGUS AND MAX ROACH. IT WAS ACTUALLY RUN BY MINGUS’ WIFE OUT OF THEIR APARTMENT IN NYC. MINGUS HAD SMALL RUNS MADE OF EACH LP AND WHEN HE SOLD THOSE, HE WOULD PRESS MORE. MANY DIFFERENT PRESSING PLANTS WERE USED, OFTEN SO HE COULD FIND THE BEST PRICE. WITHIN THIS SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, TODAY ONE CAN FIND FIRST ISSUE DEBUT 10” LPS THAT HAVE VERY NICE AND CLEAN FIDELITY OR SOMEWHAT MEDIOCRE FIDELITY WITH BACKGROUND NOISE WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDING BUT WAS IN FACT A BYPRODUCT OF SOME POOR VINYL USED—THE LABEL WAS HOWEVER A SINCERE AND HEROIC EFFORT BY THESE JAZZ LEGENDS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THEIR OWN MONEY, SESSIONS, AND TYPES OF MUSIC THEY WISHED TO EXPLORE.
