Lee Morgan Vol 3 EX Mono Blue Note 1557 lp RARE UA Paul Chambers Benny Golson

$

128

Artist:  Lee Morgan
Title: Vol 3
Label:  Blue Note BLP 1557
Mono/Stereo: Mono
Details:    Very rare 1970's United Artists mono pressing!  All albums from this auction are from my personal collection, curated over many years and only the best were kept.  It is time for me to part with these though it is hard, finding 45 year old mono copies in this condition is very difficult.



Record condition:  VG++.  Well, this is tough to grade.  Mostly this plays EX.  Visually there is a strange haze to both sides, done at the time of pressing.  There is zero play wear to the lp at all and it plays without a single pop or click.  The haze does not effect play mostly, only a few brief moments on side 1 is static (similar to the hiss heard on early Prestige records) heard in the background, never distorting the horns or any instrument.  Side 2 static is heard a few occasions and most noticed on track 2, and completely subsides before Chamber's bass solo.  Other than these mentioned defects this seems to play as if there is no issues at all, EX when the static is not present.

Cover:  NM  Just about perfect.  No wear to seams, graphics are bright and vibrant.  Back is bright white, as good as it gets.

Labels: Perfect
