THIS RECORD IS FROM OUR PERSONAL COLLECTION. Well maintained. Very Rare.

*Because our clients are mostly jazz collectors and connoisseurs, as we are, we made it our policy to only sell vinyl that we grade in VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition or better. This vinyl is in our opinion a VG+, looks and plays great.

Record Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. The vinyl is in beautiful condition. The vinyl is stunning. Looks never played. Just listened to both sides of the whole album with headphones on and it plays smooth. Amazing condition and quality. Shiny vinyl. Difficult to find this rare vintage record in such great condition. (see pictures) 

Jacket Grade VG+ = Shiny, clean, well maintained. No staining. No writing. no tape. Has been kept in plastic. Minor corner dent on top left of jacket from regular use. A very clean jacket for a 60 year old album. (see pictures)

The pictures were taken of the exact vinyl record and album cover you will receive, moments before this listing was written. Please make sure to review the images and ask any questions prior to bidding.

*We consider all reasonable offers and respond to ebay messages immediately.

Helen Merrill was all about collaborating with quality musicians, choosing great songs to sing, taking creative risks, assuring sensitivity to the lyrics, and unquestioning musicality.

She ended the decade with the 1959 Metrojazz album "You’ve Got A Date with the Blues" on MetroJazz E1010. Accompanying her on this album are Frank Wess, Barry Galbraith, Johnny Cresci, Milton Hinton, Kenny Dorham, Jerome Richardson, Al Hall, and Jimmy Jones. It is a thematic album. It is beautifully sung. The interpretations have a timelessness that rests very much on Miss Merrill’s sensitivity to the music.
