There’s not much I can say about this LP that hasn’t already been said and the chances are that you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t already know it's pedigree.
However just in case, a couple of reminders. It was recorded in 1956 – 11 tracks in Hollywood, 1 in New York - and this particular copy was released in the UK in 1957.
I personally purchased this very album from Joe Marsh’s Record Shop on the corner of Chapel Road and Norwood High Street, London SE 27 in ’57 (having saved up my pocket money). It has stayed with me ever since. You will already know of the album’s rarity but this one has a big bonus, the sound! Should you be looking for faithful reproduction this is the one for you. There is not a mark on the vinyl, I will re-emphasise that – not a mark! Have a look at the pictures and see the reflection of the clouds in the vinyl. I have just played it (the first time for a couple of years – the last time was to record it for a friend who wanted the true sound straight from the vinyl) and there are no clicks, fuzzing or background noises, indeed I would be so bold as to say it's almost perfect. The reason for its excellent condition is that when I first bought it, apart from two tracks, I didn’t really like it at the time (I know – heresy) so it didn’t get played or passed around. It is stored in the original inner sleeve and the cover is in pretty good shape for a 47 year old record. There are absolutely no tears, scuffs or sticky tape, the only blemish is on the front with a few spots of something (as shown on the photograph). From viewing the few other copies that have become available I can confidently say that this is up there with the best.
