Miles Davis in Person Saturday Night at The Blackhawk MINT Original Unplayed
Hi Well here goes! Selling one of the finest copies of Miles Davis In Person Saturday Night at The Blackhawk, SanFrancisco Vol.2 I am also listing other Miles Davis LP's LP in similar condition as well The story behind this (and a few others we are listing over the next few days) is that it was obtained from a chap who used to be "in the industry" back then I think in distribution. Turns out he kept a whole load of stuff and never played it - just turned the inner sleeve in to identify it was unplayed, and stored them. So there are a whole bunch of pretty mint 60's LP's and singles we were lucky enough to purchase a while ago. We need to raise some cash soon and so are reluctantly selling a whole bunch of rare records and items that will get the best return for us (we hope). Still clinging onto as many as possible (if you see my unplayed copy of The Ramones Blitzkrieg Bop in mint pic then you'll know I've failed to hold on to even my faves!) Anyway here goes ...
Miles Davis ?– In Person, Saturday Night At The Blackhawk, San Francisco, Volume II
Label: Fontana ?– TFL 5164, Fontana ?– 682 514 TL Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Country: UK Released: 1961 Genre: Jazz Style: Post Bop, Modal The Vinyl The vinyl is effectively mint I suppose, maybe -Mint just due to age, but fact is it's never been played (I've never played it even on a nice system for fear of devaluing it) - Not truly sure how you should grade something that has never been played but is still "old". If Mint/Mint- is wrong in this case please forgive me but it's "as new" in reality. The Cover The cover has been in store for 60 years! I've really tried to show any blemishes in the photos and took close ups where I can (aren't records hard to photo! - just seem to get reflections when trying to show how shiny the vinyl is) , just wanted to get HQ pics of the cover) but the one tiny thing which you can see in the photo is:- a) a very light pencil mark in the top right Otherwise it is pretty immaculate for it's age, the photos actually make any storage rubs look a lot heavier than they actually are, the photos seem to add contrast Otherwise it's pretty fantastic with laminated foldover top, side and bottom The front cover has the slightest - and I mean slightest - bit of storage ringwear but it is so slight I could not even get the camera to show it even with a torch. It's one of those where you have to be looking for it to see it (if that makes sense) The Labels The labels are just perfect in every way - and great to look at, fanbulous Fontana Silver on black and look and feel brand new. See the pics, The Matrix Numbers On Side 1 it is AA682514 1L 2//420 On Side 2 it is AA682514 2L 1//420 I think that means it's a pretty darn early pressing The Inner Sleeve It is the original, boring and plain and is old but it is clean and spotless. Packing I'll pack this well obviously - The LP itself I'll put in a brand new Mo-Fi Poly Liner, separate from the original liner and seprate from the sleeve itself. Description I've tried to be totally honest in every description and facet of this great record. Please email me any questions or let me know if I have missed anything that should be known.
