Description

KENNY GRAHAM'S AFRO CUBISTS - "CARIBBEAN SUITE" ULTRA RARE 10" BRITISH JAZZ ALBUM ON ESQUIRE.

THIS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE ONLY THE THIRD COPY IN THIS CONDITION TO APEAR ON EBAY IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE LAST BEING 7 MOUNTHS AGO. Which sold for a lot more than my starting bid, I have not put on a reserve so don't miss yourchance.

This is one of the Rarest British Jazz Albums, Esquire was a specialist Jazz label, making small Quantity Quality records, mainly sold in specialists shops, this recording probably one of only a handful copies that have remained in this condition. In it's day it would have only sold only a couple of hundred copies.

I have played it through I would have say the sound reproduction is STUNNING! there are NO JUMPS, OR CLICKS. which is remarkable for the records age.

The cover is still there, so many of this type and age records have lost thier jackets, take a look at the photograph's I've taken, I would grade the cover excellent! a little edge and ring ware, but when you consider its from 1953, most people were still only buying 78's. There are No rips, or repairs, writing on the sleeve. It also has its original inner sleeve, with Made in England proudly stamped on it.
