Description
BLUE MITCHELL "Down With It” Blue Note 4214, RVG, P, Mono Vinyl
This is the first edition, 1965, “Van Gelder” stamped, P-pressing of BLUE MITCHELL’s "Down With It” on the "New York USA" labels of Blue Note BLP 4214. Musicians include Gene Taylor, Aloysius Foster, Chick Corea, Junior Cook, Blue Mitchell.
VINYL plays with low level surface noise (i.e, static, ?? or ????, relative to the volume of the music/instruments) with occasional ticks or pops. But the instruments are very dynamic, clear and strong with clean transients, solid bass frequencies and full tone. Groove-wear present intro of Side 2. Plays beautifully, overall. Some areas dead quiet. No distortion. No skips. Handful of hairline marks, none feelable. Both sides have excellent gloss. See photos. As with all first pressing Blue Note discs, the powerfully recorded and performed music overcomes imperfections. The “New York USA" labels are very clean with a minor spindle marks. See photos. Original inner sleeve included.
COVER is in good shape, wear and ringwear. Corners worn. Spine and seams in good shape—some wear and cracking. ½” seam splits top and bottom near jacket opening. “BLUE NOTE RECORDS INC., 43 West 61st St., New York, N.Y. 10023” back jacket shows some ringwear, stains. See photos.
This LP was play-tested on a high-end audio system. Record cleaned on VPI 16.5.
