Description

HORACE SILVER   Finger Poppin'    Blue Note  BST 4008

      This is an original Blue Note pressing of Horace Silver's classic hard-bop 1959 session, "Finger Poppin". As far as hard-bop goes, this one is as good an example as anything recorded during the era. The stereo version of this sounds absolutely incredible. Cannot be sure if this is a first press, but it is definitely from the 50s. The original mono pressings had no "R" on the label, and also no "INC" after BLUE NOTE RECORDS on the rear cover. This issue has both, but it could very well be that stereo originals may have had both. This was the last Blue Note issue to have neither "R" nor "INC" (at least in mono).

Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has BN-ST 4008-A and the plastilyte EAR etched and  RVG STEREO stamped into the dead wax. Side 2 has BN-ST 4008-B and the plastilyte EAR etched and RVG STEREO stamped in the dead wax. Definitely a 1950's Blue Note pressing.  

Vinyl Visual Grade:  VG with quite a few LIGHT marks but no indication of being overplayed (No heavy marks and labels are really nice).

Vinyl Play Grade: VG/VG+ with GREAT fidelity and a little noise. An excellent listening copy with the odd tick here and there but nothing overly distracting. The fantastic early true stereo sound shines through.   

Cover Visual Grade: VG/VG+ with no ring wear but some moderate corner wear. Small tear rear top right (see picture). Spine and seams are GREAT. Original mono glossy cover with Stereo sticker. Actually, all in all a great looking example.

Comes with non-original Audiophile style plastic inner.

Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.

ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.

ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:

M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.

NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.

VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.

VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.

G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.

I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.

ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.

I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS. 

SHIPPING FEES:

Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.

ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.  

Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.

Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
