Description
Miles Davis et son quintette Ascenseur pour l'echafaud. FONTANA 660 213 MR green label, first pressing. (1958)
Manufactured in France.
No introduction needed... A masterpiece performed by masters of jazz. Miles Davis, Barney Wilen, Rene Urtreger, Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke in communion for Louis Malle's movie soundtrack. Very rare and desirable french original 10 inches record of this piece of jazz patrimony. Small reserve.

Cover: strong VG mostly edge wear, fainly visible surface wear. Jeanne Moreau's portrait is delightful...Vinyl: strong VG quite numerous but extremely light scuffs that are so superficial you can mostly see them on the dead wax only. Overall beautiful condition, super clean labels.
Sound check: 6.5/10 Moderate surface noise on each side's begining and on quiet tracks, noise that is getting much lighter, even fainly audible on the end of each side and on louder tracks. As there's no really visible or deep mark on the record's surface, I guess the sound quality is suffering wether from some dust stucked into the record's grooves or from a very fragile pressing.
Note about grading: my grading system is NM / EX / VG / G. Unless a record is sealed I won't grade it M. I grade very strictly, expect perfection at NM.

AUDIO FILES AVAILABLE: I recorded quite long and representative sounsclips of some records listed. Please note: The sound clips have been recorded at a low bitrate, they sound much badder than the records will play. Check the "Sound check" section from my descriptions in order to have a precise information about sound quality. I played each record with a new cardbridge in order to provide a reliable apreciation.* * *
Terms of auction, important things to know and accept before placing a bid:- I'll be out of town from saturday march 23 until sunday april 1. In other words, I won't be able to answer to your questions. Please wait for the invoice I'll send on monday april 2 before sending your payment.
- I'm also a record collector. I'm exigent about grading when I buy records, like you, I hate bad surprises... Be confident, my record grading is extremely strict, bid accordingly to the condition staten. Seriousness shall be felt in my descriptions. If this wasn't enough, feel free to check my feedback as a seller, I don't sell records often but when it happens it's always a well done job.
- Records will be securely packed. If you purchase both LPs and 45s, I'll do my best in order to reduce your shipping costs and will make them ship together in the same parcel as long as I can garanty their security, only depending on the quantities of each...
- I just hope I'll sell these records to nice persons, good eBayers and carefull collectors around the world. I'm an enthousiastic music lover, definitely peacefully minded but if you behave without respect and a good sense of responsability, the appropriate feedback will be given, with no hesitation.
- The payment has to be made in a reasonable delay as long as you finished with bidding on my auctions: the sooner, the better as I'm selling my own records to survive to a really bad financial time. Thank you for bidding but do it only if you're able to pay.
- If you intend to use Paypal and you're not someone I know or have never won any of my past auctions, be aware that over $ 50 total ordering, I will only send records by registered post because it's the only way I can protect myself against Paypal's chargebacks abuses. I know only a rare minority is committing such abuses, I'm sorry I have to make you pay for registration but you must understand that's the only way I can proove I have sent your parcel. I'm selling records from my own collection because I have no other choice and I can't afford to let any shady eBayer act badly, ruin all my good work and push me deeper in the financial hole I'm already in... So, unless we know each other or already had at least one positive transaction in the past, you have to pay for registration. Thank you for your comprehension.
- People paying by Paypal who are... ordering under $ 50 total, french residents (as I can always proove I sent the parcel) , people I know, eBayers I already sold records to, will be in position to ask for an unregistered shipment.
- Worldwide people paying by another way than Paypal will also be in position to ask for an unregistered shipment.

Payment options: Paypal (+4 per$ent), ca$h (in euros sent registered only), international money order, bank transfer (european union only), bank check (french residents only)* * *
Shipping costs: You will pay the exact shipping cost majored by 1.50 euro, price of a brand new and secure record mailer. I won't make you pay for handling. I'm not the kind to make money on shipping costs, this practice is totally hateful. The following shipping costs include the record mailer:price rating
