Description
This is a second pressing (deep groove, "ear", etched "RVG", beaded rim) of Sonny Rollins' self-titled first session for Blue Note BLP 1542. Side 1 has the Lexington Avenue label and Side 2 has the West 63rd label. The playing surface is in near-new condition, with just a single inaudible mark on Side 1; no groove wear. The non-laminated cover has the West 63rd St. address and the important vertical positioning of Rollins image on the front: the spine is rubbed along the front edge and has 1 1/4" wear at the top; the top and bottom seams have 5 1/4" wear towards the opening that are neatly restored tapeless splits; the front and back are clean and bright.
Personnel includes Donald Byrd, Wynton Kelly, and Max Roach.
