PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS.  IN 1957 HARDLY ANY JAZZ FANS HAD SWITCHED TO LPs FROM 78s WITH VERY FEW COPIES SOLD-MANY SHOPS OBTAINING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLY! SO OFTEN COPIES WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY OLD  EQUIPMENT IN ERROR! THIS IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR A SUPER QUALITY EXAMPLE THAT HAS NOT HAD MANY PLAYS FROM THE COLLECTION OF FORMER MUSICIAN AND ESQUIRE RECORD LABEL BOSS,PETER NEWBROOK WHO HAD SUCH A VAST COLLECTION THAT MOST OF HIS ALBUMS DID NOT HAVE MANY PLAYS IN THIS CASE A LOVELY THICK PRESSING! I BOUGHT MOST OF HIS LPs A FEW YEARS AGO RETAINING SOME INCLUDING THIS ONE FOR MY OWN COLLECTION BUT I HAVE TO PRUNE DOWN MY SHELVES FOR SPACE AND AM CONTENT TO RETAIN THIS CLASSIC ALBUM ON CD FOR THE TIME BEING!THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SOLD WERE NOT WELL CARED FOR WHICH EXPLAINS THEIR RARITY,VALUE AND DESIRABILITY 55 YEARS LATER AND AS SUCH THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!HOUSED IN A VERY CLEAN LAMINATED FRONT COVER WITH A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES,A SMALL SPLIT AT THE BOTTOM EDGE WITH A SELLOTAPE REMOVAL STRIP STAIN AT THAT BOTTOM EDGE AND A THIN STRIP OF SELLOTAPE AT THE TOP EDGE AND A LITTLE FAINT STAINING AT THE BACK EDGES BUT NO WRITING! THE RECORD IS STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION AS IT HAS A FEW FAINT SURFACE MARKS-BUT NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO JUMPS-I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE- SO BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!  MY LOW AND REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £12 WOULD BE SNAPPED UP AT MOST RECORD COLLECTORS SHOPS OR AT RECORD FAIRS!

POSTAGE COSTS AS FOLLOWS:

UK £4 INCLUDING 1ST CLASS RECORDED DELIVERY-A HIGH BID WILL MERIT SPECIAL DELIVERY AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.EUROPE £6 REST OF THE WORLD £9. INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR IS EXTRA AND STRONGLY ADVISED-A HIGH BID WILL HAVE THIS INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE! 

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties or played in smokey jazz clubs,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!

Most that were buying albums in the 1950s were usually using dreadful equipment!  

An ideal opportunity to add a superb album to your collection that is bound to rise in value,especially in this condition!
