Description
This is a lovely copy of this mega scarce, very desirable BLUE NOTE album, "DETROIT-NEW YORK CONNECTION", FEATURING THAD JONES,TRUMPET, Detroit Legend BILLY MITCHELL,TENOR SAX, KENNY BURRELL, GUITAR,TOMMY FLANAGAN,PIANO, OSCAR PETTIFORD,BASS, and SHADOW WILSON,DRUMS. This is quintessential hard swinging early 50's BLUE NOTE JAZZ at its best!
This LP was released in the early 50's, and this is the first FLAT EDGE pressing. It features the well known DOUBLE SIDED DEEP GROOVE Blue and White label. It features the true first Blue Note address, 767 Lexington Ave, NYC . The run out groove has the "ear" as well as the Rudy Van Gelder HAND ETCHED initials. It also has the matrix BN LP 1513 A(and B) hand etched in the run out grooves. The labels are clean, with very slight spindle marks. The LP itself is the thick, heavy vinyl associated with these early 50s pressings. This LP is in very conservatively rated MINT MINUS/VG++ (VERY GOOD PLUS) condition, with clean, bright playing surfaces, with only a few light marks. NO feel-able scratches at all. This LP is really in outstanding condition. The sound is beautiful...that classic, gorgeous, rich Blue Note sound, but of course, there will be an occasional pop or click. This is a 60 year old record, and its not absolutely flawless. Its all about the music, and this LP plays great! Ive been advised by a friend who is a very experienced seller to be very conservative on my ratings, as Im an avid collector, but a relatively new "seller".The classic heavy cardboard "frame" style cover is in VG/VG+condition,with slight split(about 1 inch) at bottom right opening, and tiny corner ding top right corner. The LP has a solid spine and top and bottom seams, and moderate shelf wear for an album that is close to 60 years old. The cover is very presentable. The classic cover with its distinctive graphics, are sharp and clear.
I am a Jazz Pianist and Recording Artist, and have been collecting Rare Jazz LPs for many years. This is one from my personal collection. I assure you, all the LPs I will be offering here have been meticulously taken care of, and only played rarely, on a Sota Sapphire Turntable, with a Grado Reference Cartridge. They have been kept inside a temperature controlled room in my home, in plastic dust jackets. In other words, you can bid in confidence, knowing these LPs come from someone who has loved them and babied them. I reluctantly am beginning to sell some of my LPs, and hope they go to someone who will love them as I have.
All LPs will be carefully packed in strong, proper LP boxes, well protected, and sent USPS PRIORITY MAIL or EXPRESS MAIL so proper tracking is available. Media Rate for domestic shipments is available, but not recommended. For overseas buyers, ( Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, etc) we recommend EXPRESS MAIL, or REGISTERED MAIL for proper tracking. We keep very close watch on all shipments through United States Post Office and Customs. Shipping costs are always based on your location. I do not add "handling"fees, costs will be exactly as I am charged by the shipper of choice. Good Luck to all bidders!
