THE IDEA THAT LEXINGTON LABLED VERSION HOUSED IN 1957 '47 W 63RD ST NEW YORK 23'

ESPECIALLY WITH BLUE NOTE EXPERT WANNA-BES FORKING OVER UP TO 10 TIMES THE

TRUE VALUE OF THIS RECORD - THE MEGA-DOLLAR FOUR-FIGURES+ JOKE IS ON THEM:

THE PLASTYLITE PRESSING PLANT IN NEW JERSEY MAY HAVE SWITCHED TO THE

CORRECT NON-LEFT-OVER-'LEXINGTON'  47 W 63RD ST NYC LABLES WHEN

 THEIR PENNY-PINCHING 'LEXINGTON' STASH RAN OUT OR

THEY MAY HAVE SWITCHED TO THE LEFT-OVERS LEXINGTON LABLES WHEN

AS THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME ISSUE !

PENNY-PINCHING USE OF ANY-OLD  LEFT-OVER OLD LABLES: THE --ONLY-- --DIFFERENCE--


THE BIG SCANDAL OF THIS 1957 BLUE NOTE TITLE IS THAT

DIM-WITTED BLUE-NOTE COLLECTORS ARE PAYING STUPID-AMOUNTS MORE FOR THE

EXACT --SAME-- PRESSING THAT MERELY FEATURE

LEFT-OVER 'LEXINGTON' LABLES FROM 1956 - EVEN THOUGH THE RECORD WAS

RECORDED AT THE TIME OF BLUE NOTE'S MOVING TO W 63RD IN DECEMBER 1956

BLUE NOTE EARLY 1957 RELEASES FEATURED LEFT-OVER 'LEXINGTON' LABLES

BUT HAD W 63RD BACK COVERS - JUST LIKE THE TORN-COVER EXAMPLE SOLD JUNE 1ST 2015

JUST SAW A TORN COVER GO FOR STUPID MONEY YESTERDAY:

      FROM JUNE1ST 2015: (.....'...Jacket Condition: VG+ (Small Rip On Front; Name In Pen Small On Rear; Very Light Edge Wear....')

 THE SELLER --OBVIOUSLY- CHOSE TO --NOT-- FEATURE THE IMAGE OF THE BACK COVER WHICH

ABSOLUTELY WAS A W 63RD ST COVER LIKE THEY --ALL-- ARE

HILARIOUS THAT ALL OF THE OVER-PRICED 'LEXINGTON-LABLED' 1957 PRESSINGS

ARE HOUSED IN W 63RD JACKETS !

BLUE NOTE HAD ALREADY MOVED TO W 63RD BUT NEW JERSEY PRESSING PLANT WAS

MERELY OFF-LOADING EXTRA LEXINGTON LABLES - SOON CORRECTED BY

THE NEW JERSEY PRESSING PLANT THAT BLUE NOTE ('EARS') WAS USING

THIS 1957 ORIGINAL PRESSING FEATURES EXACT DEEP GROOVE/FLAT-EDGE EARS: 

THEY'RE ALL THE SAME PRESS 

LATE 1956 RECORDING OF FIRST SONNY ROLLINS VOL 1 ON BLUE NOTE

47 W 63RD ST  ISSUE EXACTLY THE SAME AS FOOLS-GOLD 'LEXINGTON-LABLED' COPIES

BLUE NOTE MOVED TO 47 W 63RD IN 1957 AND THE NEW JERSEY PRESSING PLANT ('EARS')

USED  OLD ADDRESS LABLES WHICH FEATURED THE 'LEXINGTON ADDRESS' AND

ALL BACK COVERS SAY 47 W 63RD ST NEW YORK 23 - THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS

THE MINUTIA OF THE ADDRESS - THE VINYLS ARE THE SAME DEEP GROOVE !




THIS EXAMPLE IS THE FLAT EDGE ORIGINAL WITH ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING

 1957 ADDRESS OF 47 W 63RD ST LABLE - THEY HAD CORRECT LABLES ON HAND THAT DAY !



RECORD IN GREAT MONO PLAYING CONDITION EVEN THOUGH NOT A N/MINT

RECORD PLAYS GREAT WITH CORRECT MONO CARTRIDGE LIKE ANY FLAT EDGE 1950'S VINYL

LOTS OF LONG PLAYING LIFE LEFT AND HAS BEEN

 WELL CARED-FOR -  NO MAJOR ISSUES PRESENT

FLAT EDGE 1950'S ORIGINALS WILL ALWAYS PLAY BETTER WITH DECENT MONO CARTRIDGE

NO RETURNS BUT  --   ITEM IS AS DESCRIBED


here are some relevant facts about these types of deep-groove blue notes:

1. First: ALL “original” (not FIRST, but original pre-Liberty) pressings have the little “ear” mark in the dead wax. It looks like a cursive “P” because that is what it is! It’s “P” for Plastylite, the pressing plant that pressed ALL original Blue Notes.

2. The deep groove is present on first pressings of every Blue Note LP from the beginning through Blue Note 4058.

3. The “Lexington” labels were used up through BN 1543, Kenny Burrell vol. 2–even LATE pressings of many of these titles still used the LEFT OVER 'Lexington' labels–you have to look for the deep-grooves AND the edge of the record itself! ALL OF THE LEXINGTON TITLES HAVE FLAT EDGES IF THEY ARE TRULY FIRST PRESSINGS!


4. Starting with Blue Note 1544 Blue Note introduced the “47 W. 63rd New York 23? label which was used on MOST titles from 1544 through 1577–some titles have this on ONE side only (like 1568 and 1577). Because Blue Note DID NOT release their titles in the order they were cataloged, MANY titles prior to 1577 have the LATER “47 W. 63rd NYC” labels (BN 1560 for example).
