Mingus THE BLACK SAINT AND THE SINNER LADY Vinyl LP HMV A1/B1 First Press

The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is among the most acclaimed jazz records of the 20th century. Richard Cook and Brian Morton, writers of The Penguin Guide to Jazz, awarded the album a "Crown" token, the publication's highest accolade, in addition to the highest four-star rating. Steve Huey of AllMusic awards The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady five stars out of five and describes the album as "one of the greatest achievements in orchestration by any composer in jazz history." Q magazine describes the album as "a mixture of haunting bluesiness, dancing vivacity, and moments of Andalusian heat" and awards it four of five stars.

The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.


I have graded the vinyl Excellent as in spite of many fine lines under a bright spot where the album has been in and out of its sleeve and the play marks of time and use, there is nothing to compromise play or visually really and in ordinary light it is clear. A tiny crackle on the silent part of the record before the music begins, otherwise it plays perfectly throughout.
i have graded the sleeve Very Good Plus, signs of wear and use over time.
Recorded January 20, 1963. Front laminated Garrod & Lofthouse: Patents Pending flipback sleeve, label has "Sold In U.K. Subject To Resale price Conditions" text.
