Description
PLEASE NOTE: This auction is for one of a number of rare Charlie Parker original 78 rpm recordings I will be offering on eBay. The highlights include a number of high-numbered Dials, including the rarest of them all Dial 1056, as well as both Dial Be-Bop Jazz albums, Dial D-1 and D-2, the first of which has been autographed by DIZZY GILLESPIE!!
*****(I now have the two Dial albums listed along with Dial 1024 and the rare Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker 'Steiner-Davis 49' record.)
On offer in this auction is the 10" 78 rpm "Dial 1056" recorded by the CHARLIE PARKER QUINTET. The sides are The Hymn and Air Conditioning. According to Geoff Wheeler's "Dial Records, West Coast Jazz and the Be-Bop Era" (Definitive Edition), it is stated on page 106, "Dial 1056 appears to be the rarest Dial 78 of all. Only a handful of copies have been reported and none of the main jazz archives have copies."
The record is in near mint minus or excellent plus (NM-/EX+) condition with clean, almost perfect labels. The record surface is glossy and fresh and looks almost unplayed with only the lighest of surface wear and with NO scratches. This may be one of the finest examples of this the rarest Dial 78 rpm recording! Please examine the supersized scans of the labels I have provided. I encourage interested parties to ask any questions if desired. In addition, I have available scans of the full sides of every record disc/s so you can examine the record's surfaces.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE MY INVOICE!! If you win more than one record I will only combine shipping if you wait for me to send you a combined invoice. Shipping will be by Canada Post Expedited or XpressPost Service. Both are reasonably inexpensive, extremely safe, reliable, and trackable. Insurance is approximately $1.00 per $100.00 value to the United States, and is slightly more worldwide. Please understand that the listed shipping charges are only approximate, as the record/records has not been packed up as of yet. In addition, the cost is geographically dependent. If you wish, please ask and I can determine a more specific shipping cost. Finally, if the shipping charge paid is more than listed on my invoice, I will be more than happy to refund the difference. Payment is by PayPal, but I will accept other forms of payment if desired. Please e-mail me as to what other payment methods I accept.
