Description
Up for auction is a rare copy of the self titled sought after "Lester Young Trio" two Album Set from 1951. This is the 78 RPM 12" version and NOT the 10" vinyl version. I do not have a 78 RPM player but visually graded using Goldmine standards, I would rate the 2 albums as on the VG/VG+ cusp with nice shine and light scuffs and surface wear. There are no deep scratches or chipping on the records. The jacket is very good with amazing bright graphics and art by renowned artist Davis Stone Martin. The spine flips open but could be glued which I will leave to the new owner. Do not miss out on this rare offering since they don't come up very often. No reserve. US SHIPPING ONLY PLEASE DUE TO BREAKABLE NATURE OF 78'S. I will carefully package with lots of bubble wrap in oversized box.
From Wikipedia: The Lester Young Trio and The Lester Young Trio No. 2 are jazz trio albums recorded in Hollywood, California in March–April 1946 by Lester Young with Nat King Cole and Buddy Rich. The recordings were produced by Norman Granz and the first 4 tracks were released in 1951 on a Mercury Records 10 inch LP, The Lester Young Trio. Another 4 tracks were released in 1953 on Norman Granz' Clef Records label as The Lester Young Trio No. 2. All 8 trio tracks were combined on a 12 inch Norgran LP, The Lester Young Buddy Rich Trio released in 1955. Nat King Cole was under contract with a different record label at the time so was credited only as "Aye Guy" on the original Mercury / Clef / Norgran releases.
