IF YOU LOVE RARE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS OF JAZZ LPs-YOU WILL WANT TO OWN THIS FABULOUS ALBUM.

AN ORIGINAL UK PRESSED 1960 RIVERSIDE LABELS ISSUE WITH THICK VINYL:12-320.

AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LPs OF THIS VINTAGE,IT IS HOUSED IN AN AMERICAN PRINTED COVER.

HARDLY ANY SURVIVE,ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE OF AN ALBUM THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE UK BUT EVEN IF IT WAS, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN 2012!

I CAN'T RECALL SEEING THIS ISSUE BEFORE IN MY 25+ YEARS AS A DEALER SPECIALISING IN JAZZ VINYL!   THE RECORD IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE MAJORITY WOULD STATE MINT BUT IN MY OPINION MINT DOES NOT EXIST UNLESS YOU HAVE A SEALED ITEM BUT THIS COPY WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO IMPROVE UPON SO DO NOT MISS OUT!

IN DEPTH SLEEVE NOTES

-PLEASE SEE THE 2ND PHOTO  FOR THE TRACK LISTING!

AN ESSENTIAL ALBUM FOR ANY JAZZ MUSICIAN TO STUDY THAT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON CD!  

THE FIRST DECENT COPY TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN YEARS FROM A RELIABLE SELLER,JAZZ FAN AND LONG TERM COLLECTOR!

 FROM THE COLLECTION OF FORMER ESQUIRE RECORDS AND MAJOR JAZZ COLLECTOR AND MUSICIAN,THE LATE PETER NEWBROOK WHO PRESERVED HIS RECORDS USING TOP OF THE RANGE EQUIPMENT.

HE HAD STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH MANY JAZZ RECORD COMPANIES AS HE ISSUED MANY ALBUMS ON HIS ESQUIRE LABEL,HENCE HAVING THIS COPY SENT TO HIM WAY BACK IN 1960!

DUE TO THE SIZE OF HIS COLLECTION AND BEING VERY BUSY,THE MAJORITY OF HIS LPs HAD LESS THAN HALF A DOZEN PLAYS-MAYBE AS FEW AS A COUPLE AND THIS LP LOOKS AND SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS ONLY HAD ONE OR TWO PLAYS BEFORE MY ONE TESTING PLAY! WONDERFUL QUALITY! 

MANY SHOPS WOULD ONLY GET THESE LPs TO SPECIAL ORDER AND IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DELETED WITHIN A YEAR IN THE UK DUE TO LIMITED SALES AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN 2012!

MANY WERE THROWN AWAY OR AT LEAST BADLY DAMAGED DUE TO FAST HANDLING AS OFTEN THE CASE IN RADIO STATIONS OR BUSY REVIEWERS! SO OFTEN THESE PRESSINGS WERE RUINED ON OLD EQUIPMENT-THIS ONE IS IN GREAT SHAPE!

 THE PRINT RUN FOR THESE LPs WOULD BE A FEW THOUSAND AT THE VERY MOST AND OF COURSE HOW MANY SURVIVE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION APPROX. 52 YEARS LATER??

AN ALBUM THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN RARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

THE MAJORITY WERE PLAYED ON RADIOGRAMS,PORTABLE PLAYERS AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT DOZENS OF TIMES,THIS COPY HAS HAD HARDLY ANY PLAYS AT ALL!

MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED AND RUINED IN ERROR ON HEAVYWEIGHT  GEAR!

THIS ONE HAS BARELY PLAYED WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE!

TWO TAX DUTY STICKERS ON ONE LABEL. 

A CLEAN COVER WITH NO WRITING,STAINING OR REPAIRS-SOME STAINING AT THE BACK WHERE A SMALL PIECE OF SELLOTAPE HAS BEEN REMOVED AND A LITTLE EDGE WEAR.  

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADER/ULTIMATE COPY -

THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.

THIS 1960 MONO LP HAS INSPIRING JAZZ MUSIC THAT YOU WILL WANT TO ENJOY AGAIN AND AGAIN!

   **********************************************

A JAZZ COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR AN  LP OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A MUSICALLY BRILLIANT LP LIKE THIS ONE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE FAN OF THE 1960s.AN LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THOSE THAT DID BUY THEM WERE OFTEN SCARED OF HAVING THEM STOLEN OR BORROWED WITHOUT RETURN AND WOULD WRITE NAMES ON THE COVER-JUST COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER SIMILAR LPs ON EBAY.THE MAJORITY HAVE WRITING,SELLOTAPE REPAIR OR WORSE STILL DRAWINGS AND DOODLES ADDED.

THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS.

CHECK OUT YOUR COPY-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!  THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THE PREVIOUS OWNER  HAD THE BENEFIT OF GETTING THE BEST AND INDEED IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RECORD TO APPEAR ON EBAY FOR YEARS DIRECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THIS IS GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

A VERY NICE THICK PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

A COPY THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A FEW TIMES HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SON!!!!

PROBABLY HALF A DOZEN OR SO AT THE MOST! 

Just how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!  

The MONO mixes are Superb and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those LP days OF AROUND 52 YEARS AGO!

In the 1960s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

SOMETIMES THESE LPs WERE RUINED ON  OLD HEAVY EQUIPMENT. 

The 1960s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear this TOP JAZZ music and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!  

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £20 STARTING PRICE .

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER AND RARE LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
