Description
Up for auction is an original Riverside LP (12-236) from 1957: Kenny Drew "This is New." On this album, Drew appears with Donald Byrd on trumpet, Hank Mobley on tenor, Wilbur Ware on bass, and G. T. Hogan on drums. Label is the classic white/blue with deep groves and comes from the collection of an ex-radio DJ.
Sleeve: NM- with a small line of writing on the back cover stating an acquisition date of "October 11, 1957." There is subtle age discoloration of the egg-shell blue on the front cover towards the top seam, but otherwise no ringwear, no split seams, and the color is bright. I love this cover art, really wonderful.
Record: EX, almost no signs of wear except for some superficial scuffing on one side from coming in and out of the sleeve.
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.
