Mel Torme 1st Press OZ LP Swingin’ on the moon VG+ ’61 Verve MGV2144 Vocal Jazz

Rare OZ 1st Press LP released in 1961 on Orange & Yellow Verve Records Label. Cat: MGV2144. This album is in Mono.  
Over the next few weeks I will be listing some wonderful Jazz titles from a recently acquired Jazz collection. The original owner passed away back in 1985 and his sister decided to hold onto them for sentimental reasons. She had not touched or played them since then (1985!!). The records are in stunning condition for their age many, apart from a few light age spots on the covers, look like they walked off the shelf yesterday. I hope you enjoy viewing and possibly purchasing these wonderful jazz vinyl artifacts as much as i have in preparing them for sale and listening to them!!

Swingin' on the Moon marks a bridge between Mel Tormé's excellent jazzy outings of the 1950s and the generally pop-oriented, novelty recordings of the '60s. Recorded over three days in August 1960, the album contains few standards, substituting instead lesser numbers which all contain the word "moon" in the title (including Tormé's own title song, which opens the set).

Tracks: Swingin’ on the moon/ Moonlight cocktail/ I wished on the moon/ Moon song/ How high the moon/ Don’t let that moon get away/ Blue moon/ Velvet moon/ No moon at all/ Moonlight in Vermont/ Oh, you crazy moon/ The moon was yellow.

There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks, look very clean in general but has some light crackles throughout and is in VG+ condition. Gloss cover with back flaps has a few light marks and is in Excellent condition.
