Description
Up for bid is an original deep groove mono pressing of Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet. This was released on the Prestige label and is Prestige 7029. The front cover erroneously states that the it is Prestige LP 7020. Featured are the original yellow Prestige labels with the firework motif, featuring the 446 W. 50th ST, N.Y.C. address indicating the LP is microgroove. Stamped in the dead wax on both sides is "RVG" indicating the mastering of legendary jazz icon Rudy Van Gelder. Players on this recording include: Kenny Drew, Percy Heath, Art Blakey, John Lewis and Kenny Clarke.
The jacket is in low VG+ condition. The seams show sign of wear but the only seam split is around the mouth of the jacket on the bottom, extending about an inch from the opening. As shown in the pictures, there is a name written on the front and back of the jacket, but is much less noticeable on the front cover. The LP appears to be in VG condition, due to numerous stray marks on either side, but plays more VG+. None of the marks are very deep and result only in light noise that doesn't seem to overpower the music at any point and certainly no skips. (This was play-tested on a quality table with a new stylus.) This record is hard to find in any condition, and this copy would make a great addition to any jazz collection. This truly is an amazing recording.
Bid with confidence. All items are securely and carefully packaged in cardboard record mailers with stiffeners to ensure safe arrival. All records are shipped in sleeves outside of the jacket to ensure a safe journey. Items are shipped promptly, typically the following business day from completed payment. Thank you for considering this auction.
