This session  was a comeback record of sorts for Leo Parker. Briefly one of the leading bebop baritone saxophonists (and an alumnus of Billy Eckstine's legendary orchestra), Parker shifted to rhythm and blues in the early 1950's and then mostly dropped out of sight until he recorded this set. After cutting a second album, he died of a heart attack at age 36 on Feb. 11, 1962. A guttural player who emphasized the lower register of the baritone and was influenced by Illinois Jacquet, Parker (who is joined by obscure sidemen) sounds in top form during his varied program which includes several hard swingers, the gospellish funk of the title cut and two selections not on the original LP: "The Lion's Roar" and a second version of "Low Brown."

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. Minor staining noted on the vinyl on side 2 of the disc, apparently due to the inconsistent vinyl grade used for the pressing (nothing significant)

(b)          The record comes in the original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          The record has a ►Rudy Van Gelder name, or  his initials (RVG) stamped or hand-etched in the trail-off vinyl (dead wax). On SOME  Jazz labels (Blue Note, Savoy, Regent, Prestige, Impulse, Verve…) this stamp signifies highly professional masterings either done by - or  personally authorized by - the legendary engineer himself.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2  (front side) and 3 (back side)

-         Cover has one corner slightly worn / frayed / bent (just a beginning of the split seam); a small patch of clear scotch tape  - less than 1 inch - affixed to this corner.

-         Cover has a minor 'bump' (dent) on the top  seam (nothing significant)

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.   (nothing significant)

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No dirt/dust rubbing stains (friction marks caused by rubbing against other covers)

·       **** IMPORTANT CORRECTION ***

Due to a serious technical glitch with eBay's software (Turbo Lister) which forced us to frantically search for a workaround solution to the problem at the very last moment, we have inadvertently used the wrong version of the upload file which contains WRONG AND POTENTIALLY MISLEADING SUBTITLE FIELD for SOME items (a small group of about five items or so, this one being one of them) . This error does NOT affect any of the actual descriptions of the items, and everything you read in our auction narratives IS absolutely correct; however, the error DOES affect the SUBTITLE FIELD (and subtitle field ALONE),  which incorrectly identifies this pressing as the first pressing (whereas it should identify it either as a second, or early pressing).  We have already made some manual changes on items where we caught the mistake on time, but could not amend other items, as they already received bids and eBay would not allow us to amend them.  Please note that ONLY the subtitle field, and ONLY on a small group of items, is incorrect; all other details (title, description, images, categories, trade policies, etc), remain correct and in effect .

Our sincere apologies who may have visited this page and may have been misled or confused by the mistake in our subtitle.
