This auction is from the same collection of impeccable condition lp's I've been selling from, but we are now coming to the most collectible parts. In most cases, these are still among the finest copies imaginable. Each one will be graded individually, but many of them are just as pristine as the discs from the late 60's and early 70's.

Artist: Horace Parlan
Title:  Us Three
Label/Catalog #:  Blue Note Bop 4037
Mono/Stereo:  Mono
Details:  47 West 63 labels, RVG, no DG, no ear. With original inner sleeve. This has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition:  Visually NM-.   Extremely clean! Both sides show a full gloss and only a few light sleeve traces are the only signs of handling. Very well kept. Play graded in full. The opening bass solo has very mild crackle, but as soon as the brushes hit, it's EX for the rest of side 1. Side 2 track 1 has a 30 second cyclical tick which is not loud but still audible. The rest of side 2 plays EX. Overall this is a marvelous player and would to tough to improve! 

Cover: VG++. This is still in shrink but shrink has some small breaks with seam wear underneath. Lower seam at opening edge has 2" of wear but no split. Tiny chips on a couple spots of top seam where shrink has been chipped off. Overall this looks immaculate, the mentioned wear is the only thing keeping this from NM.
Labels: See photos
