ART TAYLOR - A.T.'s Delight
BLP 4047
You are bidding on a rare original mono pressing of the Blue Note classic, 'AT's Delight' by Art Taylor.
With the classic combination of Rudy Van Gelder's sound engineering and original Plastylite pressing!
Released 6th August 1960
BLP 4047
Mono
Both labels Deep Groove
Both labels - address 47 West 63rd NYC
Both sides - pressed RVG and Plastylite 'ear' and hand etched matrices.
Both labels with INC and 'R'
(The 'INC' and 'R' were both introduced by Blue Note in 1960 and so appear on ALL original copies of this album, including this first pressing)
Sleeve address is 43 West 61st St, New York 23
Tracks:
Syeeda's song flute / Epistrophy / Move
High seas / Cookoo and fungi / Blue interlude
Personnel:
Dave Burns (trumpet); Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax) ; Wynton Kelly (piano) ; Paul Chambers (bass); Art Taylor (drums) ' 'Potato' Valdez (conga)
VINYL:
The album has been cleaned using a professional VPI record cleaning machine, and plays VERY nicely indeed! The sound has GREAT presence and immediacy, thanks to the original Rudy Van Gelder mastering and the great quality of the original Blue Note pressing. I guarantee that you will hear the difference between this and later pressings!
Both labels are VERY clean indeed, with no writing, stains or marks. There are some light spindle marks (visible only under oblique light) but virtually no centre hole wear.
The vinyl has only a few very minor surface marks, none 'feelable', and no scratches or scuffs. As a listening grade, I would grade it as EXCELLENT and, visually, between VERY GOOD and EXCELLENT.
SLEEVE:
Both the front and back of the sleeve are clean with only very slight signs of age (this is a 52 year old LP that has clearly been treated with considerable tender loving care).
The spine has some minor creases; both top and bottom edges have only slight shelf wear. The laminate shows slight signs of wear along the 'opening' edge of the sleeve. Absolutely no writing, marks, tears or stains!
The back cover has a small original U.K.'Purchase Tax' sticker still attached. (Photo, top left)
The original Blue Note paper inner sleeve has been separated from the album at some point; I can therefore either supply it with a standard white paper inner OR with an original Blue Note inner bag of appropriate vintage (i.e. early original BN 4000 series), which to my knowledge should be identical to the original, if you prefer.
As always, I'm happy to answer any further questions that you might have; I know how crucial accurate information and detail is to the Blue Note collector!
My pictures below were taken before VPI machine cleaning, so the vinyl should look as well as sound even better....
No reserve and a seriously low starting price. Happy bidding!
