Description
This is a vinyl copy of the classic, 1953 Jazz/Vocal LP "BLACK COFFEE" by the wonderful PEGGY LEE. This is an original 1st Pressing; 10 inch LP on the BRUNSWICK label (a branch of DECCA). Made In England, the cat.no. is LA 8629. Matrix nos. MG 3253-1B & MG 3254-1B .
The outer, single, fully laminated cover is in EXCELLENT condition overall. Glossy, with the odd very minor crease, but with no edge rubbing (but, has corner rub), this cover is actually really good. The front grey/black & white laminated surface is EXCELLENT; flat, clean & glossy, but with a couple of small minor tears in the opening edge letting it down. The thin spine is EXCELLENT+ ; perfectly, straight, flat & true with all Title Print (printed flat on the back cover) easily readable, with no spinal dings or creases. The opening edge is EXCELLENT- with virtually no feathering & being clean, straight & mostly flat, but with the aforementioned small tears. The rear, double-flipback, white surface is very clean & shiny; no stains or marks whatsoever. The top & bottom Flipbacks have the typical 50's semi-circular cutaway proving the cover's great age. In the very bottom left-hand corner (on the laminated flipback border) the small print reads "Printed in England R.S. 10-57-58". Very small amount of laminate lift. I grade this back surface as EXCELLENT+; with all type/print perfect.
The BLACK record labels with Silver print are EXCELLENT+. Just a couple of minor spindle marks prevent a Perfect grading. Both labels have "UNBREAKABLE MICROGROOVE RECORD" on them.
The vinyl is EXCELLENT/EXC.+ with minor surface marking (paper withdrawal ?) only visible under artificial light. Looks really good to me in natural daylight with no marks visible at all. Certainly no major scratches or marks. Test played today on my highly critical Linn Sondek LP12 ; Plays REALLY, REALLY WELL with just the odd click & crackle & just some surface noise between tracks & in the quieter passages. Just about as good as it gets!
