This is a very nice copy of this RARE, very collectable BLUE NOTE album, BENNIE GREEN "BACK ON THE SCENE", featuring BENNIE GREEN,TROMBONE; CHARLIE ROUSE,TENOR SAX; JOE KNIGHT, PIANO; GEORGE TUCKER, BASS, and LOUIS HAYES, DRUMS. This is soulful hard swinging early 50's BLUE NOTE JAZZ at its best!

This LP was released in the early/mid 50's, and this is probably the first pressing. It features the well known DOUBLE SIDED DEEP GROOVE Blue and White B LUE NOTE  label. It features the 47 W.63rd NYC Blue Note address. NO "R" NO "INC". The run out groove has the famous "ear" as well as the Rudy Van Gelder stamp. It also has the matrix BN LP 1587 A(and B) hand etched in the run out grooves. The labels are clean, with very slight spindle marks. Please note the side B label has a bit of pink, I have absolutely no idea how or why. 
The LP itself is the thick, heavy vinyl associated with these early/mid 50s pressings. This LP is in very conservatively rated VG/VG+ (VERY GOOD/VERY GOOD PLUS) condition, with clean, bright playing surfaces, with only a few light marks that do not effect play. There is one tiny, barely feelable, extremely light scratch on track one side 2 (about 1/4 inch) that again, can barely be felt with the fingertip. When the record is played, you dont hear anything. However, this is why Ive rated the LP VG/VG+. As BLUE NOTE collectors know, these records are remarkable as even in rough condition, they still can sound really good! The music always shines through. Anyway, Im rating this LP VG/VG+ just because there is the one, tiny barely feelable scratch. Otherwise, its VG+ all the way. The sound is beautiful...that classic, gorgeous, rich Blue Note sound, but of course, there will be an occasional pop or click. This is a 60 year old record, and its not absolutely flawless.  Its all about the music, and this LP plays great! Ive been advised by a friend who is a very experienced seller to be very conservative on my ratings, as Im an avid collector, but a relatively new "seller".The classic heavy LAMINATED cover is in VG/VG+ condition,with slight split (about 2 inches) on bottom seam, and slight corner and edge wear. There is expertly placed clear tape (high gloss to match the laminate) on the top seam, which is barely noticeable as it matches the gloss of the laminate. The LP has moderate shelf wear for an album that is close to 60 years old. The cover is very presentable. The classic cover with its distinctive graphics, and photo by Francis Woolf, are sharp and clear.

I am a Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist, and have been collecting Rare Jazz LPs for many years. This is one from my personal collection. I assure you, all the LPs I will be offering here have been meticulously taken care of, and only played rarely, on a Sota Sapphire Turntable, with a Grado Reference Cartridge. They have been kept inside a temperature controlled room in my home, in plastic dust jackets. In other words, you can bid in confidence, knowing these LPs come from someone who has loved them and babied them. I reluctantly am beginning to sell some of my LPs, and hope they go to someone who will love them as I have.

All LPs will be carefully packed in strong, proper LP boxes, well protected, and sent USPS PRIORITY MAIL or EXPRESS MAIL so proper tracking is available. Media Rate for domestic shipments is available, but not recommended. For overseas buyers, ( Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, etc)  we recommend EXPRESS MAIL, or REGISTERED MAIL for proper tracking. We keep very close watch on all shipments through United States Post Office and Customs. Shipping costs are always based on your location. I do not add "handling"fees, costs will be exactly as I am charged by the shipper of choice. Good Luck to all bidders!
