78

Here is a VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1956 "CHET BAKER IN EUROPE: A JAZZ TOUR OF THE NATO COUNTRIES" on PACIFIC JAZZ, PJ-1218.
THIS CAME FROM A RECENT ESTATE SALE OF AN ELDERLY MAN WHO WORKED PASSED AWAY, I WAS FIRST TO GO THROUGH HIS RECORD COLLECTION & CHERRY PICKED IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS IS BEING OFFERED PUBLICLY! I'M NOT A RECORD DEALER OR COLLECTOR, THOUGH I DID COLLECT RECORDS FOR MANY YEARS IN MY YOUTH AND AM ABLE TO HONESTLY EVALUATE RECORDS. I DON'T OWN A RECORD PLAYER, SO I CAN'T TEST ANY FROM THIS SMALL COLLECTION, BUT ALL APPEAR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, I ONLY GOT THE ONES THAT APPEARED IN GREAT CONDITION.

If you're looking at this you probably know how rare this 12" record is. The record is not marked as Stereo or Mono, just High Fidelity, but I assume it's in Mono. The record center label is black with silver print, this shows up as white in my photo because of camera flash. The label is marked as 33 1/3 RPM & Microgroove. It is Copyright dated 1956 at the bottom of the back cover. The record appears to only have been played a couple of times on side 2 & only once on side 1, this is because on side 2 you can see a couple of very faint marks where the spindle touched it, this shows up against the flat black label. The record is in excellent condition- no visible scratches or wear. The cover is in good condition. The front cover displays in excellent condition, only the very bottom area, small area on left side & the right side are have very nominal surface wear. The bottom & right side you have to really hunt for in oblique lighting to find it, the cover is very shiny, very impressive. There is corner wear to all 4 corners, a tiny 3/16" chipping of the surface paper at the lower right corner with a very fine 1 5/8" split there. There is a 1 1/4" split at the very bottom center edge from the LP cutting into it. The bottom has light edge wear mainly near the corners. The back side has a small line of dull spots on the shiny surface, not spots with any darkness, just dull, weird & very minor, 1 very faint, small impression line. See photo for song titles. The LP is in a vintage, non-original plain white paper sleeve. I will keep the record out of the cover now & when mailing, both will be protected. I am shipping in a nice home-made cardboard box. If you have any questions whatsoever ask before bidding, especially if you're using a Snipe program. I may take bid from overseas, send me an email for that.
