Description

Up for auction is an original black-label jazz album Atlantic, 1956's classic: Mingus "Pithecanthropus Erectus," featuring members of the Charles Mingus Workshop (Mingus on bass, Jackie McLean on alto, J. R. Monterose on tenor, Mal Waldron on piano, and Willie Jones on drums). This in an original mono Atlantic black-label with deep grooves, and is part of an ex-radio DJ collection.  
Sleeve: NM-, with one small line of writing on the back cover stating an acquisition date of "August 16, 1956." It has a small tear on the upper right corner of the back cover where some tape must have been. Otherwise great, no seam splits, no ringwear, great color on the front.
Record: NM, with signs of limited spindle wear on both sides and little else. 


 

I am a university professor of music here in the US who inherited this and other records (Blue Note, Norgran, Impulse!, Columbia, Prestige, Fantasy, Riverside, etc.) from a collector and former radio DJ a few years back. I am looking to sell off some of these records to collectors/audiophiles who can get more enjoyment out of them than I can. 

 

Thanks for looking.
