1st 12" Release by King Label: BEST OF BOSTIC: BOP from 1956 in EX+ Plus BONUS

Offered is an extraordinary Jazz / Bop release in Mono from 1956 featuring the talented Earl Bostic. 

It is the 1st 12" record ever produced by the well-regarded King Record Label.

Both the Vinyl & the Art Cover are in impressive condition:


Earl Bostic ?– The Best Of Bostic

THE VINYL :  EX+ :  Lightly played with some evidence of spindlewear, both sides of the LP retain all of their original gloss with bright labels. Present on both sides are a few light marks, including some sleevewear from the original paper sleeve and a few minor hairlines. There are no deep marks.

My playgrade revealed 1 small skip on Side 1, and another small one on Side 2. The vinyl composition is a higher quality, and the playtime on it is minimal, so it plays cleanly with very little background noise or ticking.
 
In all, the record has been carefully handled and produces a high quality, strong mono audio.



THE COVER :  EX+ :  Well-stored with some minor scuffing / bright colors / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact / there is one thin mark on right side of the front cover (please see photo) / no writing, paper loss, paper tears, dirt, or stains.

We have placed both the cover and the LP into protective plastic sleeves.

SEALED: RECORD IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC & UNOPENED.

NM-: RECORD HAS LITTLE OR NO INDICATION THAT IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.

EX: MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE (LIGHT SCRATCHING/PAPER SCUFFS), BUT IN ALL A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN WELL-CARED FOR.
