Details: Here we go, folks! Up for bid is one of the rarest holy grail jazz records ever made. It stands as the most difficult to obtain classic released on the iconic Blue Note label. This is one of the rare true first press copies of this record with the side 2 variant address of 47 West 63rd New York 23. Don't miss out on this amazing gem!


Cover: The cover is impressively well-kept and is VERY STURDY. There is a slight bend in the cover. Has some minor yellowing on the cover, and a few dings and marks. There is about a 1/4" chip at the top of the cover.  All four corners are a bit rounded with the bottom left having a slight ding. No splits at all on the cover (see pictures for more details).   


Sleeve: Includes it's original blank sleeve that is in excellent shape. The record is now housed in a separate audiophile sleeve in order to keep it safe and to keep the original, 60-year-old sleeve from splitting. 


Record: The record is in SOLID VG+ condition with some very minor marks that do not affect play. It has been professionally cleaned on a VPI. The album was play-graded on a Project turntable with Ortofon needle and played with only minor noise during the extremely quiet parts of "Bags Groove" during the Paul Chambers solo. The labels are a lovely white and blue, with minimal spindle wear.

A little bit about me: I’ve been collecting high-end jazz records for the last 15 years, check out my Instagram for more info (JasonH5 or WaxCabinet). I've been using Discogs more than eBay to sell items for the past couple of years, but as you can see from my feedback, I'm still in good standing and I'm widely known as a trustworthy reseller of jazz who understands the VERY important details that come into play with collectibles in this genre. A few of the high-end records that I’ve sold on eBay in the past with 100% satisfaction include: Horace Parlan - Us 3 (February 2011), Sonny Clark Trio on Time Records (February 2011), Sonny Rollins – Way Out West sealed (August 2013). Check Collectorsfrenzy or Popsike for the history of these items. This item is being offered in partnership with eBy seller: storkchild121(4334)(100% positive feedback).
