Jazz At The Pawnshop 2 Lp Gatefold Prop 7778-79

Arne Domnérus, Bengt Hallberg, Georg Riedel, Egil Johansen and Lars Erstrand. 

For sale is the rare 1st 1977 release and first pressing (matrix stamped in runout grooves are GP 1) of this double lp. GP stands for Swedish Grammoplast AB - that is the Swedish pressing plant. 

Here is how to identify the first of the numerous pressings: 

• Liner notes and other infos inside the gatefold cover are in Swedish language.
• "Made in Sweden" is not printed on back of cover, as on Arne Domnérus - Jazz at the Pawnshop.
• In the lower right corner of the back cover is very small logo of "SIB-Tryck, Tumba" printed.
• All labels have "Proprius books & music" printed on the background.
• The track order on the cover backside and the 7779 B label is incorrect:

-Take Five -Everything Happens To Me -How High The Moon

• A sticker with the correct track order can be found on the inside of the cover with the text:

Rättelse: Ordningen på 7779 B. är: 1. How high the moon 2. Take five 3. Everything happens to me Sorry!

I USE THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:  Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
