Please keep attuned to my site because I am now selling an extraordinary collection of near mint records that I have hand picked from probably the most legendary private collection on earth.  In the 1980s and 1990s, my special friendship with the famous jazz auctioneer Leon Levitt resulted in my being invited to his home in Sun Valley, California and given the opportunity to acquire the best of the best of any jazz record in which I expressed an interest.  If he had twenty or thirty copies of a particular record, which was not unusual, he would allow me to take them all home and choose the best cover and the best sounding and cleanest copy of the bunch.  I did this methodically for at least ten years and accumulated a collection that in terms of condition rarity is second to none on the face of the earth.  I am now going to be selling these records in small groupings on ebay.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire some amazing records.  I have a perfect record on ebay and, if you check the commentaries on my transactions, you will and should be perfectly comfortable with my representations.  These sales are going to continue throughout the year.  I cannot emphasize enough that these records are all the original first pressing, thick and chunky, and have been play graded as well as sight graded, and they will all be in extraordinary condition.

 This is the Eight installment of extraordinary records from the Leon Leavitt special collection that I was allowed to accumulate.

I am here offering the ORIGINAL MONO FIRST PRESSING of Blue Note 1539 with the Horace Silver Quintet featuring Horace Silver, Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins and Louis Hayes.  This is the original Lexington Ave. issue with very hefty, chunky vinyl.  This is a very difficult record to find in immaculate condition, but this copy is in unplayed extraordinary condition in every way.  The vinly gleams with a jewel-like finish and is unblemished and exquisite in every way. It has been play graded and plays as good as it looks, which is in the realm of amazing.  It is the ORIGINAL FLAT EDGE.  167 Lexington Ave. NYC.  RVG and the ear are in the runoff dead vinyl on both sides.  The cover is imprinted with the address:  757 Lexington Ave., New York 21.  The cover is fresh and pure with no seam splits, marks, writing or defacement whatsoever.  It is the cleanest original cover I have ever seen of this record.In the interest of full disclosure, the lower right hand corner of the record has a little rubbing underneath the upper facade, but there is no splittting or tearing.   .  It is without a doubt the best copy in existence today. 

Postal charge will be $25.00 in the USA and overseas shipping will cost whatever the post office requires.  It will be shipped to the lucky winner of this auction in a hard backed carboard box and wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap surrounded by layers of styrofoam chips.

Payment must be made by Paypal within two days of the closing of the auction.  

I will ship to the USA or overseas.
