Quote from John Chowning,
"The “album” — we assembled the sleeves by hand on a counter in the bookstore — sold virtually nowhere but the bookstore. But John’s agent father did send one as audition material to Norman Granz, organizer of the Newport Jazz Festival. We could only smile at his enterprise. He thought more of us than we thought he should."
Jacket: VG-VG+ See Photos---with some tears on front and back, sticker residue on front as seen. Blue tape seams are original to every copy I've seen. It is local to me and I've personally owned 2 others, this being the best condition of any of them. Vinyl: VG-VG+ with some faint hairlines and a sticker on one side as seen. No major issues to fidelity, a very nice clean sounding LP. Shipping: $3.99 Media to continental US, Worldwide-based on weight. I will combine shipping on multiple orders, based on total weight.
