Description
Blue Note is loved, revered, respected and recognized as one of the most important record labels in the history of popular music. In the late 1950s, many Blue Note artists were moving from Charlie Parker style Hard Bop towards a more accessible Funky Blues style which would feed through into Soul by the end of the 1960s.
This was Freddie Roach’s second album for Blue Note on Hammond organ. The sleeve notes state he tried to do some of the tunes used for dancing in the clubs in various tempos and moods; supported by Conrad Lester, Kenny Burrell/Eddie White, and Clarence Johnston.
Record Grading and Condition: G+ This copy is a US Import bought in the UK during the 1960s and played regularly at that time. The disc has been inspected to find a visible scratch across Side 2 Tracks 1 and 2 plus other faint surface scratches but plays OK with some light noise.
Sleeve Grading: G+ Scuffing and wear at the corners, discoloration of notes side due to usage and age. The Blue Note interior sleeve is captioned “27 YEARS BLUE NOTE”.
Label & Authentication: Blue Note Records Inc, 43 West 61st St, New York 23; VANGELDER machine pressed into the run-out on both sides, dating production from 1961/2 onwards.
Note to intending buyers: This posting is from a collection of Blue Note LPs of varying quality and rarity bought in the 1960s then stored until now. Each record on sale is over 50 years old, so I have tried to be deliberately conservative in stating rating levels of Good+ according to Ebay guidelines. All feedback will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
