Description
Please keep attuned to my site because I am now selling an extraordinary collection of near mint records that I have hand picked from probably the most legendary private collection on earth. In the 1980s and 1990s, my special friendship with the famous jazz auctioneer Leon Levitt resulted in my being invited to his home in Sun Valley, California and given the opportunity to acquire the best of the best of any jazz record in which I expressed an interest. If he had twenty or thirty copies of a particular record, which was not unusual, he would allow me to take them all home and choose the best cover and the best sounding and cleanest copy of the bunch. I did this methodically for at least ten years and accumulated a collection that in terms of condition rarity is second to none on the face of the earth. I am now going to be selling these records in small groupings on ebay. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire some amazing records. I have a perfect record on ebay and, if you check the commentaries on my transactions, you will and should be perfectly comfortable with my representations. These sales are going to continue throughout the year. I cannot emphasize enough that these records are all the original first pressing, thick and chunky, and have been play graded as well as sight graded, and they will all be in extraordinary condition.
This is the second installment of extraordinary records from the Leon Leavitt special collection that I was allowed to accumulate.
This recording was made in 1956 and is generally regarded as Jordan’s finest recording. The mono sound is of demonstration quality and the close miking is to exquisite affect. The pace is moderate throughout with deep, intense tonality and richly blooming sonorities. The condition of the record almost transcends my descriptive capacities. This is the original deep-groove MONO 47 W. 63rd pressing and the vinyl is thick, very heavy and chunky. It is shiny and bright with a flawless gleam and unblemished appearance. It plays as good as it looks. It is impeccable pristine and free from ticks, clicks, pops or any kind of noise. The surfaces are utterly impeccable. The labels are perfect also with no spindle marks. The cover is almost beyond belief. It is in MINT condition as if it were released yesterday off the presses. There is no rubbing on the corners or wear of any kind. It is completely fresh. I must say that if there is a better copy of this record in existence, you would probably have to travel to the ends of the world to find it.
I will ship to USA or overseas and Insurance is required because of the rarity and value of the record. Shipping in the USA will be $15.00 plus charges for insurance. Shipping overseas will depend on location and postal rates. Payment must be made within three days of winning the auction by Paypal or postal money order and must be made in legal tender of the USA
