CHARLIE PARKER
Charlie Parker with Strings
10” 33 rpm VERY RARE
Original Clef pressing!!! Clef MGC 675
w/ David Stone Martin cover art EX- vinyl


Condition:

Record – Excellent-Very strong and glossy,

New looking, no scratches or scuffs, could be graded as mint !

Jacket – VG+, slightly scuff marked from shelf, color remains vivid, no splits, no holes, structurally excellent!!!


This album is one of the holy grails of Jazz collecting, the original 10” of Charlie Parker with Strings on Norman Granz’s Clef Records label (not Mercury, like other pressings). Extremely hard to find, especially in this condition. Book value over $400.

 I inherited the music collection from a recently deceased relative of mine who was also a musician. He has a lot of unopened vinyl and demo copies in his collection and he took phenomenal care of most of his vinyl over the years. Happy Bidding!!!
