Description
Extremely hard to find jazz 10” 33rpm LP on the UK Esquire label, catalogue number 20-028, Waxing with Whittle, Tommy Whittle with the Tony Kinsey Trio.
The matt card sleeve has some corner wear and light creasing, light ringwear and some age browning. There is also a small punch hole in the sleeve (and the inner sleeve and Record), which I think is an import indicator. The sleeve is torn across the top and bottom edges as pictured, and there is some sticker residue on the back. The sleeve is still very presentable, and grades Good.
The vinyl plays very well, with loud mono audio reproducing a superbly recorded set. Each side has some light surface marks and what look like ‘under the groove’ manufacturing lines, with a few other light hairlines. There is audible light background crackle at the start of each side, between bands and during quieter passages, but the audio is so strong that it is not so noticeable throughout most of the record. However, it is louder in some parts more than others. No skips, no jumps and a fabulous listen!
Taking into account a visual inspection and playing quality together, the vinyl grades VG+ overall.
All in all, This is a great playing copy of a very scarce 50s jazz classic with a legendary ‘Brit-Jazz’ pedigree. The only copy I have ever seen in 40 plus years of record collecting!
UK Record Collector grading guidelines adhered to.
I will combine postage for multiple purchases.
