HANK MOBLEY - S/T, BLUE NOTE 1550, DG, EAR, RVG, NY23 both sides, VG+/MINT-

Here for sale an original deep groove pressing of one of Hank Mobley's masterworks on Blue Note.

This one has all the elements of a very early original pressing, if not the earliest. What keeps me from saying this to a first pressing is the fact that this copy is not a flat edge version, which specialist say is the real absolute 1st pressing. This one has the slightly raised edge.

This records has all the characteristics of an original earliest pressing:

- both side deep grooved,

- both sides have the New York 23 text added to the label address,

- RVG on both sides in th run-out groove,

- 'ear'or P both sides in the run-out groove,

- no Inc added to label address

- no R under Note on the label

- New York 23 address on back sleeve

Please see the pictures for all the details.

The only reason I am selling this copy is because I did acquire last week an original flat edge copy. I actually hate to sell this one, because I feel that the quality of the vinyl of this one is slightly better than my new one. But financials push me into selling.

With regard to the overall quality of this record:

The vinyl is as good as it gets. No hiarlines, no scuffs, no marks, no scratches, no waving, just plain nothing that needs mentioning. It's just in superb shape and  I grade it as MINT-! Playgraded, I would like to slightly lower this a bit to NM-, since the record has in the quiet parts (in between some tracks and in the last track, side 2) some light background noise probably caused by dust. I have never dared to clean this record though, now leaving this for the new owner to be done.

The sleeve is in a respectable condition, but has bits of wear and has been taped top seam due to seam splitting. Also bits of spine & corner wear and two dings caused by former owner not using proper packaging when sending it to me. Anyhow, the pictures show it all. There's really nothing to worry about, my grading is VG+.

Labels as you can see are perfect.

All in all a superb Blue Note classic for many many years of enjoyment & value increase!

General Info:

Please note that I try to rate conservatively, which is contrary to my average experience on eBay. Unfortunately many items at eBay nowadays are being sold highly overrated! I buy quite some records via eBay, but so often it is disappointing. Items rated as MINT- and just being EX or even less! So, I try to do my best to fight this trend on eBay by rating carefully and describing precisely what the condition of the item is. Please let me know if I over- (or under- :-) ) rated my item. And be aware that I want happy buyers, so in case your not satisfied, please contact me before giving any negative feedback and I'm sure we find a solution.

PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS. I AM A RECORD COLLECTOR WITH FAR TOO MANY ITEMS IN MY COLLECTION (~15,000 LP's). I'M SELLING ALL THE ITEMS OF WHICH I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COPY AND/OR THE ITEMS I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANYMORE. MY OWN COLLECTION IS VERY BROAD: CLASSICAL MUSIC, JAZZ, BLUES, PUNK, INDIE, WAVE, PSYCH & PROG ROCK, KRAUTROCK, AVANT GARDE, ETC. SO KEEP LOOKING, BECAUSE THERE MAY BE SOMETHING FOR ALL OF YOU ON OFFER! I TRY TO OFFER ITEMS EVERY WEEK, BUT DUE TO LOTS OF TRAVELLING FOR MY DAYTIME JOB, I SOMETIMES SKIP A FEW WEEKS. I TRY TO GRADE MY ITEMS AS BEST I CAN, BUT NO ONE IS PERFECT, SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU FEEL I WAS WRONG. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Rating Scheme:

10 - MINT = Never played, unused. Either sealed records or records coming from old stock. New.

09.5 - MINT- = As new, but opened and most probably played although this is not noticable. Archive copy.

09 - NEAR MINT = Almost new, vinyl shiny black, only a few thin sleeve lines at the most on the vinyl, sleeve just perfect with only the slightest signs of use, perfect sound without background noise or ticks from scratches. Archive copy, no real need to upgrade anymore.

08 - EXCELLENT = Few  sleeve lines or superficial marks are possible, but these are non audible, the sleeve may have light signs of use (for example very small corner wear) but looks still perfect, the sound is still almost perfect, with maybe some very slight background noise and/or some light ticks. Contrary to common practice on eBay an EX is closer to NM then to VG! This is still an archivable copy!

07 - VERY GOOD +(+) = This is a normal used copy, which you find most often. Still a very good playable copy with great sound quality, but you will notice marks, stains or lines on the vinyl and/or sleeve. Sometimes there's some writing on the sleeve or a small mark of a sticker. Small creases are possible, slight ring wear, etc.

06 - VERY GOOD = This is a bit more heavily used, but still ok to play and to have. May have just a bit more of the characteristics mentioned above.

05 - VERY GOOD -(-)  = A VG item is JUST ok to still play or to have, but in the end you really would want to upgrade this item to a better quality. Still playable, but with clear background noise and the occasional tick. No jumps though! And not ruined! Sleeve has very clear signs of wear/use.

04 - GOOD = Anything below acceptable in normal circumstances. I only offer rare items in this category or under the circumstance that only the sleeve or vinyl has this low category, so that buyers may have interest to upgrade part of their own item.
