SONNY ROLLINS RECORDED MANY MEMORABLE SESSIONS DURING 1954 - 1958, BUT “SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS” IS ARGUABLY HIS FINEST ALL-AROUND SET . . . JOINED BY PIANIST TOMMY FLANAGAN, BASSIST DOUG WATKINS AND DRUMMER MAX ROACH, ROLLINS DEBUTS AND PERFORMS DEFINITIVE VERSION OF “ST. THOMAS”, TEARS INTO THE CHORD CHANGES OF “MACK THE KNIFE” (HERE CALLED “MORITAT”) , INTRODUCES “STRODE RODE” LYRICAL ON “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS” , AND CONSTRUCTS A SOLO ON “BLUE SEVEN” THAT PRACTICALLY DEFINES HIS STYLE. THIS 1958 MONO DEEP GROOVE PRESSING IS HERE OFFERED IN GREAT CONDITION WITH COVER IN REMARKABLE SHAPE...FINEST EXAMPLE I HAVE SEEN WITH NO WRITING, NO STICKERS, PERFECT SEAMS. THE VINYL RECORD SPARKLES AND SHINES WITH ONLY A VERY FEW, TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL AND INAUDIBLE TRACES ON FIRST TRACK, SIDE TWO...POSSIBILY DUE TO CONTACT OF DISC WITH ONION PAPER INNER  SLEEVE (ALSO INCLUDED) IN LONG STORAGE -- DO NOT AFFECT AT ALL THE OUTSTANDING PLAYBACK PLEASURE. CLEAN YELLOW LABELS WITH “FIREWORKS” BEARING THE BERGENFIELD, NJ ADDRESS   ––   “RVG” AND  MATRICES  PRLP-7079-A / PRLP-7079-B  ETCHED  IN  THE  DEAD  WAX   PLUS NEW JERSEY  PRESSING  PLANT  SYMBOL (AB) FOR “ABBEY RECORD MFG, CO. INC.”
