ATTENTION 1950s JAZZ ALBUM COLLECTORS! 

HERE'S AN LP THAT RARELY TURNS UP IN 2013. INDEED THE FIRST COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND IN 27 YEARS AS A DEALER! TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY OF THE FOLLOWING ALBUM:

THE EDDIE THOMPSON TRIO:"HIS MASTER'S JAZZ".

TEN ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS RECORDED IN 1958 FEATURING ONE OF THE BEST BRITISH JAZZ PIANISTS AND COMPOSERS-EDDIE THOMPSON. THERE ARE ALSO ADDITIONAL MUSICIANS ARTHUR WATTS(BASS) AND ANDY WHITE(DRUMS) LATER KNOWN FOR PLAYING ON THE THE BEATLES "LOVE ME DO" 2ND SESSION IN 1962! 

1959 DECCA PRESSED TEMPO TAP 24 WITH THICK VINYL WITH 1B/2B MATRIXES,GROOVED LABELS AND NATURALLY SOLID MONO! 

APART FROM THE FIRST TWO MINUTES OF THE TRACK"CONTEMPLATION"(THE LAST ON SIDE 2) WHICH HAS A SURFACE "PATCH"WHICH SOUNDS+SOME OTHER ISOLATED CLICKS AND A FEW "POPS"+A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS,THE REST OF THE DISC IS GENERALLY SUPERB WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-JUST A FEW ISOLATED "POPS"/SHORT LIVED FAINT CLICKS ON THE OTHER TRACKS, BUT NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS. THE DISC PLAYS VERY NICELY INDEED! NO JUMPS-NO STICKS STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT THE SOUND IS MUCH NEARER TO NEAR EXCELLENT FOR MOST OF THE DISC! THIS IS A COPY THAT HAS BEEN ENJOYED WITH A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT NO MAJOR FAULTS-NO NASTY DISTORTION! 

HARDLY ANY COPIES SOLD AND IT PROBABLY ONLY HAD A PRINT RUN OF ABOUT 500 COPIES,QUITE POSSIBLY DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE. VERY FEW COPIES SURVIVE, 54 YEARS ON-THE MAJORITY IN THE HAND OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO WON'T SELL! REMEMBER THAT IN 1959,LPs WERE VERY EXPENSIVE AS WELLAS MANY JAZZ FANS STICKING WITH 78s AND MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITH MAJOR DAMAGE!

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS SOME COVER DAMAGE! THERE IS A PIECE MISSING FROM THE FRONT,A RIP ACROSS THE BOTTOM EDGE AND PART OF THE TOP EDGE+A LOT OF EDGE TEARS,RING WEAR AND PART OF THE FLIPBACK MISSING+MOST OF THE LAMINATION HAS BEEN PEELED OFF-MOST REMAINS ON THE BACK BUT DESPITE ALL THIS THERE IS NO WRITING OR REPAIRS. INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED "HANDLING" INNER SLEEVE.

PLEASE SEE ALL FOUR OF THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS-NOTHING TO HIDE!

MINT COPIES WHICH OF COURSE ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND CAN FETCH £250 OR MORE AND WAY OUT OF THE REACH OF MOST COLLECTORS SO THIS BETTER THAN A "GAPFILLER" EXAMPLE THAT SOUNDS NICE IS AN ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVE WITH MY REALISTIC,LOW STARTING PRICE OF JUST £25. POSTAGE IS £4-50(UK 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR) AIRMAIL:EUROPE £6-50.REST OF THE WORLD £9-50.  SUGGESTED POSTAGE IS UK SPECIAL DELIVERY £7. INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR-EUROPE £12-REST OF THE WORLD £18.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many JAZZ MUSIC collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
