	$		20

ATTENTION DUKE ELLINGTON AND JAZZ ALBUM COLLECTORS! 

HERE IS A PAIR OF ORIGINAL EARLY 1960s ISSUED MONO LPs ON THE MAIL ORDER ONLY WORLD RECORD CLUB LABEL: "ELLINGTON IN CONCERT"-VOLUMES 1 AND 2.

THESE WERE MADE AND SOLD INDIVIDUALLY BUT RARELY TURN UP AS A PAIR AND I WILL NOT SPLIT THEM UP!

TRACKS RECORDED IN 1948 BY DUKE ELLINGTON IN SOLID MONO SOUND ON VERY QUIET,THICK VINYL!

WORLD RECORD CLUB WHICH BEGAN IN 1958 ANNOYINGLY,RARELY PUT ISSUE DATES ON THE LABELS OR COVERS BUT AS THESE DISCS HAVE THE EARLIEST DESIGN LABELS AND LOW CATALOGUE NUMBERS,I WOULD ESTIMATE THESE TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN ABOUT 1962 OR 1963 AT THE LATEST.

HOUSED IN  VERY CLEAN POLYLINED  INNER SLEEVES WITH THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING TWO OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THESE LPs AS WELL AS THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVERS WHICH ARE BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN. IN DEPTH SLEEVE NOTES BY EXPERT PETER GAMMOND.

THESE TRACKS MAY NOT BE ON CD AND YOU WON'T FIND AS GOOD COPIES VERY EASILY!

Most copies sold in the 1960s would have been played a lot! This pair has had MINIMAL use but still in fantastic shape with NO surface marks and hardly any surface noise. 

THE RECORDS ARE STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! 

THE COVERS HAVE A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES,SIDE DURATION TIMINGS AND A PURCHASE DATE IN TINY PEN ON ONE OF THE COVERS BUT NO STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!  BID WITH CONFIDENCE!    MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THESE RECORDS ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION AND NOT CLEARLY GRADED. JUST ONE OWNER FROM NEW,THE LATE PETER NEWBROOK WHO RAN THE ESQUIRE LABEL AND HAD A MASSIVE COLLECTION. 

PETER NEWBROOK WAS A JAZZ MUSICIAN,WRITER,RECORD REVIEWER ON JAZZ,A FILM DIRECTOR AND THE OWNER OF THE BRITISH JAZZ LABEL ESQUIRE WHICH ISSUED MANY BRITISH,AMERICAN AND CONTINENTAL RECORDINGS AND AS SUCH HAD MANY STRONG CONTACTS,KNEW MANY JAZZ MUSICIANS AND FRIENDS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IN THE UK AND USA WHO WOULD SEND HIM EARLY ADVANCE COPIES OF RECORDS FOR HIS OPINIONS AND APPROVAL-THE MAJORITY ADDED TO HIS SHELVES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS IF THAT AS HE WAS A VERY BUSY MAN INDEED! I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY MOST OF HIS VAST COLLECTION SEVERAL YEARS BACK AS LONG TERM EBAYERS AND JAZZ COLLECTORS WILL RECALL.  NATURALLY AS A LONG TERM COLLECTOR AND JAZZ FAN MYSELF,I COULDN'T RESIST KEEPING SOME OF THEM BUT I AM PRUNING DOWN AGAIN WITH THE NEED FOR SPACE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE TOP QUALITY RARITIES WHICH MAY NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN AS GOOD AS THESE EXAMPLES!

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THESE RECORDS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO SWISHES!How many were preserved like these examples??

HARDLY USED AND NOT SERIOUSLY ABUSED!!!!!!

They have been very well cared for on lightweight  high quality equipment.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear DUKE ELLINGTON and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.FAR BETTER THAN MOST AROUND! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A VERY NICE PAIR OF LPS-EXAMINE YOURS AND THEY MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.
