Thank you for viewing my sale for a super rare and still sealed original edition (new old stock) copy of the Allen Houser sextet's self-titled, “Washington Jazz Ensemble.” Allen Houser's jazz albums have seen greater success outside the US as examplified by his much sought after “No Samba” album. Finding an unplayed, original copy in it’s original shrink-wrap is nearly impossible. 

Hard Bop -- Latin Jazz Originals as Classics by Dizzy Gillespie (1), Alec Wilder (1), and Allen Houser (4)

Allen Houser: Trumpet

Buck Hill: Tenor Saxophone

Bob Balthis: Valve Trombone

Vince Genova: Piano

Steve Novosel: Bass

Howard Chichester: Drums

CONDITION: 

Still sealed and unplayed new old stock (NOS); we rate all our NOS recordings as NM to be on the safe side. This cover rates a New condition with perfect corners and virtually no shelfwear; however, please note the small notch in the upper left hand corner of the cover that probably signifies this was a promotional copy. Please review enlarged pictures in slide show at top of ad for condition, which is considered part of description.

All our vinyl LPs and 45s listed on eBay are from a 50 year personal collection of record albums and singles we starting accumulating back in the mid-1960s, dedicated to preserving original pressings in the best over-all condition possible. Our New Old Stock (NOS) inventory, mostly consisting of import pressings, come from our long closed record shops: Discount Record Shop and Choice Recordings of Washington, DC and Half-Thoughts Records of Manasquan, NJ. Our beloved record collection is a mix of Rock, Roots Music, 60’s Garage, Psychedelic, Soul, R&B, Blues, Punk, New Wave, Metal, Girl Groups, Picture Discs, Classical, Choral, Opera, Jazz, International/World Beat, Movie Soundtracks, Musicals, Spoken Word, and Audiophile pressings in all genres.  We are offering a number of rock and soul singles. Back in the day we would compare sound quality between multiple editions of the same titles to keep the best sounding copies for ourselves. All records were played on high-end turntables with reasonably fresh stylus and carefully monitored tracking force & azimuth.
