ORIGINAL MONO MIX 1958 1ST ESQUIRE LABEL PRESSING OF A RARELY SEEN JAZZ LP:

MILES DAVIS"BLUE HAZE"

ESQUIRE 32-088 

GREAT SOLOS! GREAT BOP TYPE TUNES FROM ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT JAZZ MUSICIANS OF ALL TIME!  

 VERY,VERY THICK,HEAVY VINYL!!!!!! 

REALLY NICE LABELS AND A DECENT COVER!

PLEASE SEE BOTH OF THE PHOTOS! 

NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH A LITTLE SURFACE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE.THERE IS ALSO SOME DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS BUT NO NASTY CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! 

THE SOUND IS VERY CLEAR AND THE ACTUAL SURFACE NOISE IS MINIMAL TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE AGE AND THE FACT THAT MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE UNPLAYABLE OR IF THEY ARE DO NOT GIVE A DECENT SOUND.

THE VINYL IS FLAT,NO WARPS OR DENTS! 

THE VERY EARLIEST UK PRESSING OF FAMOUS 1953/1954 RECORDINGS INCLUDING A SMALL GROUP THAT INCLUDES:

JOHN LEWIS/MAX ROACH/HORACE SILVER/CHARLIE MINGUS etc!  

THE GLOSSY FRONT SLEEVE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE EVER SEEN-MOST TURN UP WITH PIECES MISSING,BADLY TORN,OR IN MOST CASES NO COVER AT ALL!

THE CARD USED WAS WAFER THIN AND VERY DELICATE AND NATURALLY MOST BUYERS WOULD PLAY THIS ALBUM A LOT,RESULTING IN THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND RETURNING TO THE COVER OF THE DISC.

THIS ONE HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES AND SOME STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,NO REPAIRS OR FLIPBACK DAMAGE!!!!

(FULL DETAILS BELOW)!!!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY RARE JAZZ LP -THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

AN EARLY 1ST EDITION WHICH WAS VERY LIMITED AND RARE TO FIND OVER 50 YEARS ON AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY JAZZ COLLECTION!

THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN EARLY 1958 AND DID NOT REMAIN IN PRINT FOR MANY YEARS. 

IT IS MUCH, MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN OTHER JAZZ LPs OF THIS VINTAGE! 

THIS IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN DREADFUL UNPLAYABLE CONDITION.

THIS COPY HAS SEEN A NUMBER OF PLAYS WITH SOME  GENERAL MINOR SURFACE NOISE BUT SOUNDS NICE,THERE ARE NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS AND WILL PROVIDE A VERY DECENT,PLAYING EXPERIENCE!

THE USE OF A MONO SWITCH OR AT LEAST AN ADJUSTMENT OF THE TREBLE CONTROL AND THE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS WILL BE LESS NOTICABLE. 

IN 1958,SO OFTEN THE EQUIPMENT USED WOULD RUIN ANY DELICATE L.P.DISC WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS!!!

EVEN 78 RPM NEEDLES WERE SOMETIMES USED! 

YOU CANNOT BEAT SEEING THAT BEAUTIFUL CREAM ESQUIRE LABEL SPINNING ON YOUR RECORD DECK!

THE GROOVES DO NOT"LOOK WORN"AND WITH SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TONE CONTROLS THE MINOR SURFACE NOISE IS LESS NOTICABLE AND THE SOUND IS SPLENDID.

YOU MIGHT HAVE A COPY BUT IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY NOT AS GOOD AS THIS ONE!

THIS COULD BE AN IDEAL MIX AND MATCH OPPORTUNITY!

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST COPY ON EBAY IN MANY MONTHS-JUST COMPARE WITH OTHER COPIES ADVERTISED WITH TOTALLY WRECKED COVERS,AND EVEN STATEMENTS ADMITTING MAJOR JUMPS AND NASTY DEEP CLICKS-SUCH COPIES ARE OF NO INTEREST TO SERIOUS COLLECTORS AND ACT AS MERE"BETTER THAN  NOTHING"GAP FILLERS!

MAKE NO MISTAKE,THIS IS A NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION EXAMPLE BUT BEARING IN MIND IT'S SCARCITY IS FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES AND COVERS THAT YOU WILL SEE IN 2010! 

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME!

*************************************************************** 

AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 52 YEARS ON! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!

I DO NOT NORMALLY SELL LPs WITH SURFACE NOISE UNLESS THEY ARE VERY RARE LIKE THIS ONE AND BEING A FIRST PRESSING IS BOUND TO BE ACCEPTABLE TO MANY AS A VERY DECENT GAP FILLER BUT YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT A LONG TIME TO FIND ANOTHER ONE OR PAY A LOT MORE!!

Copies of this album were being sold in TINY quantities and so how many survive IN PLAYABLE CONDITION??!!!!!!

MOST THAT TURN UP ARE TOTALLY WRECKED AND HAVE NO COVERS AT ALL. 

THIS ONE COULD WELL BE IN THE VERY FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE! 

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, JAZZ LPs were carefully considered and saved for items,many JAZZ fans not getting THIS LP.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear JAZZ and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is minor spindle wear!!!

THE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

SEE BOTH PHOTOS.NOTHING TO HIDE!!!! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of major faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A NEAR EXCELLENT  CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EXCELLENT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.   

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY ALL THE PHOTOS!
