SONNY ROLLINS - SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS - PRESTIGE LP 7079. THIS CLASSIC 1956 DATE IS ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY REGARDED JAZZ RECORDINGS. IT FEATURES MR. ROLLINS, TOMMY FLANAGAN, DOUG WATKINS AND THE AMAZING MAX ROACH. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, 446 W. 50TH ST., N.Y.C. PRESSING - FLAT EDGED, DEEP GROOVED WITH RVG ETCHED IN THE DEADWAX. THERE IS AN ARROW IN THE MATRIX SIDE A. UNUSUAL.

CONDITION IS AN ALL AROUND AND PRETTY CONSERVATIVE VG, WITH LABELS SIDE A WITH WRITING AND A STAIN AND LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. LABEL SIDE B IS EASILY VG++. THE VINYL HAS MANY LIGHT SCUFFS AND MARKS AND A FEW LIGHT SCRATCHES. PLAYS BETTER THAN VG, FREQUENTLY VG++ FOR LONG PASSAGES, VG+  OVERALL. ANY EXTRANEOUS NOISE GETS OVERPOWERED BY THE GREAT MUSIC UNLESS YOU LISTEN FOR IT.

LAMINATED COVER HAS A 2" TAPED SPLIT BOTTOM CENTER SEAM. TOP SEAM HAS A 10" SPLIT WITH CHIPPING THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BUT RESTS EASY AND IS BARELY NOTICEABLE. CORNERS HAVE DINGS WITH BRHC THE WORSE, BUT BLHC THE MOST NOTICEABLE. REALLY TINY SPOTS OF LOOSE LAMINATION ALONG THE OPENING SEEMS HARDLY A PROBLEM. PRINTED SPINE IS NICE AND SOLID. BACK COVER HAS SOME STAINS AND AN OLD SHOP STICKER ULHC.  OVERALL NICER THAN THE STATED CONDITION. THE ICONIC COVER IMAGE IS GRAND AND VERY PRESENTABLE.

THIS NICE MONO PLAY COPY HAS SERVED US WELL FOR MANY DECADES AND THE NEW CURATOR SHOULD ALSO ENJOY IT FOR A LONG TIME!
