PRESTIGE RECORDS HI-FI LP 7054

GENUINE U.S. PRESSING
VERY EARLY PRESSING ON YELLOW AND BLACK 'PRESTIGE' RECORDS LABEL WITH FIREWORKS MOTIF AND BERGENFIELD, NJ ADDRESS ON THE LABEL

DEEP GROOVE PRESSING
The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

The record has a Rudy Van Gelder name, or his initials (RVG) stamped or hand-etched in the trail-off vinyl (dead wax). On SOME Jazz labels (Blue Note, Savoy, Regent, Prestige, Impulse, Verve) this stamp signifies highly professional masterings either done by - or personally authorized by - the legendary engineer himself.

The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic.

This set features trumpeter Miles Davis with three different pickup recording groups that are full of fellowall-stars. "Tune-Up," "Miles Ahead," "When Lights Are Low" (which uses slightly different chord changes than its composer Benny Carter originally intended), and "Smooch" find Davis joined by pianist John Lewis (Charles Mingus plays piano on "Smooch"), bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Max Roach. With pianist Horace Silver, bassist Heath, and drummer Art Blakey offering solid accompaniment, Davis introduces "Four" and performs "Old Devil Moon" and "Blue Haze." Finally, with altoist Dave Schildkraut, Silver, Heath, and drummer Kenny Clarke, Miles jams through "I'll Remember April."

Final note: I am parting with this and other classic Jazz albums (see other auctions I have now, specifically a lot of 16 great Jazz albums, if not already ended) due to pressing financial need. So please only bid if you can promptly at auction's end. No reserve, no returns.

Thank you, and happy bidding!
