Mint/Mint

Graded Cover/Record

Vinyl is super clean perfect Mint with a couple of superficial scuffs from taking the record out of the sleeve and played only by me once!   I played it last night and this sounds absolutely fantastic. Labels are clean brand new.  Cover is super clean and still looks brand new with super nice gloss and each LP and the jacket have been stored in a plastic sleeve.  Original plastic lined paper inner sleeve is in excellent shape.

Sound Quality: Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman's mastering is the best sounding! The bass and overall sonics on this mastering is FABULOUS!  This would be a great demonstration record for your friends at your party!

Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Rollins as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades and gives an indication why as a young player, Rollins was so well liked, as his fluency, whimsical nature, and solid construct of melodies and solos gave him the title of the next Coleman Hawkins or Lester Young of mainstream jazz.

Tenor Madness, using Miles Davis’ group – pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones, is the only recording of Rollins with John Coltrane, who was also in Davis’ group.

Rollins and John Coltrane met in 1956 and went on to largely define the state of jazz tenor saxophone in the mid-Fifties. Their playing set a standard that has been a benchmark of excellence for saxophonists—and others—ever since. By the time this LP was released, Rollins already had such albums to his name as Worktime and Sonny Rollins Plus 4 in addition to his sideman exploits with the Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet.

As well as the celebrated title track, Tenor Madness includes an intriguing original, "Paul’s Pal," and the mining of unusual material such as "My Reverie," and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World."

Condition: I grade according to Goldmine standards. That means a VG+ vinyl will be just that, an LP that is in beautiful condtion! I am very picky when it comes to grading and grade to Goldmine standards. I absolutely hate it when dealers ameliorate the condition of the vinyl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when I am the buyer!! All my Lp's have been stored in my house upright on a shelf in an air conditioned and dry environment, meaning no warping, staining or mildew!   

Shipping: Shipping will be via USPS Media Mail $8 and will be mailed in a sturdy LP mailer.
