Description

SURMAN-PHILLIPS-MARTIN The Trio (Dawn DNLS 3006) RARE UK 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE first UK pressing of John Surman`s album with Barre Phillips and Stu Martin, "The Trio" on Dawn Records (c. October 1969). 
The Trio is John Surman on reeds, Barre Phillips on bass, Stu Martin on drums. Challenging music from the Ornette Coleman school of free music, but never  inaccessible. Not a recording for the casual jazz listener though, but very much something for the adventurous jazz lover.
GRADING:
EX++ COVER. Original unlaminated gatefold sleeve with light allround wear. Please see photos for details.
- Delicate white cover with slight general "discolouring".
- Minor record imprint on front and rear sleeves.
- Light corner bends on back cover (bottom left and right).
- Small tear at top of spine (1 cm long; see detail photo).
- Also includes two, poly-lined inner sleeves in EX condition.

RECORD ONE in EX(+) condition, played a few times with light general wear.
- A bit of general hairlining, nothing serious. 
- The record does have a few sporadic light pops and some recurring background crackle in parts.
- Original first-pressing dark orange Dawn Records labels with a single faint spindle line on each label.
- The matrix stamps in the run-off grooves read "DNLS 3006 A-2 ?T" and "DNLS 3006 B-2 ?T", indicating a first UK pressing.
- Mothers/Stampers: "H / 1a" on Side One and "H / 1" on Side Two.

RECORD TWO in MINT- condition. In contrast to the first record, this looks practically unplayed! 
- Perfect audio reproduction throughout.
- Original first-pressing dark orange Dawn Records labels with a single light spindle line on each side.
- The matrix stamps in the run-off grooves read "DNLS 3006 C-2 ?T" and "DNLS 3006 D-1 ?T", indicating a first UK pressing.
- Mothers/Stampers: "J / 1" on Side One and "K / 1" on Side Two.
- This record is fully certified to be an original UK first pressing of "The Trio", released in c. October 1969.

PLEASE NOTE: Not to be compared with the more-often-than-not substandard vinyl on offer on eBay UK, this item is in honestly-graded Ex+ to MINT- condition. You will NOT find another original first pressing of "The Trio" as nice as this one - especially at this bargain price: "True value for money" is the motto here!
