TRANSITION TRLP 20 

WATKINS AT LARGE

EXTREMELY RARE & COLLECTIBLE JAZZ LP

A highly collectible album featuring Doug Watkins and many other famous early jazz performers, a must for the serious jazz collector.

This is an album from an extensive collection of early jazz albums that I will be selling for a Vermont client, so look back often to take advantage of a wonderful collection. 

I take a lot of pictures as they tend to show the condition better than I can describe them.  Be sure and check out the pictures and ask for more if there is something specific you want to see. 

This is the original 1956 USA issue and would be a nice addition to your collection.   Transition records was only around for a few years (1951-1956) and they featured the best of the best artists of their time. 

RECORD - graded a VG/VG+

has some light scatches, most can't be felt with fingernail - a couple (approx. 1 inch long each on the A side) which were highlighted in a picture can be felt but they don't impact the listening experience.   No warping of record, some loss of gloss

 
one label is somewhat loosely attached with some minor wear around hole. The A side label is not attached but is present in decent condition (check pictures) The runout areas have the production etchings but appear to have been etched on the wrong sides The A side (with three track recordings) is etched "TRLP-20B" and the B side (with two track recordings is etched "TRLP-20A" (see pictures)

THE SONG BOOKLET IS MISSING

This album plays great with no distortion, skipping or other major audible defects. There is an occassional light surface noise (dust/static noise) but never anything that interferes with the music quality.  


COVER - graded a G

no shrinkwrap - radio shack price sticker on the front cover (97 cents!) - top and left side seams completely split and open, bottom seam shows shelf wear but is still attached - opening edge has some chipping and corner wear (see pictures) - some corner bumping (see pictures



CLEANING

I do a cautionary cleaning only, some light brushing with an approved audio carbon fiber brush and minimal use of audio cleaning solution if warranted. I do not professionally clean my records, I leave that up to the new owners.

GRADING

I utilize the industry standard for grading, Goldmine's, and I tend to grade conservatively.


PACKING
All records are shipped outside their covers, in new sleeves, packed between 2 sturdy corrugated cardboard flats and mailed in an approved record mailer.
