All Bidders- Please read below for Postage Details (International), Grading Descriptions for Condition (important!) and all other relevant information.  

Lionel Hampton- Golden Vibes (Australian Coronet Press)

Here's an album by legendary musician, Lionel Hampton, who helped define jazz forever with the style of his vibes playing with Benny Goodman (not to mention the fact he could play other instruments too). His countless solo efforts are at least as worthy of interest as anything he recorded with Goodman. He also recorded with Louis Armstrong earlier on, and worked with Charlie Christian, along side nearly every other big name from the swing era.

This album is undated, but looks like it is from the late 50s, and would most likely be the Original pressing.

It features Robert Plater, Edward Pazant, Leon Zachery, Lonnie Shaw, Andew Mcghee on Reeds; Bill Hogan- drums; Oscar Dennard, piano; Bill Mackel- Guitar; George Joyner, John Nixon- Bass. Hampton plays Vibes throughout.

CONDITION (see descriptions below) EX/ EX-

Cover- see picture. Presents quite nicely, with no splits or tears. Minor wear around edges. Laminate on front does look like its lost some sheen. Rear has a minor ringmark and general discolouartion/ yellowing. On the track list there is extremely minor smudging on a couple of letters. 

It is worth noting that postage may work out cheaper if you are buying mutliple items- I work out all combined postage by weight, not on a per item basis. That way you have the best chance to get a good deal on postage rates, wherever you live. I have a huge list of other interesting titles currently on ebay so check them out at "sellers other items" - you may be suprised what you'll find!!!! 

International bidders note: I always post by Air Mail. I am willing to consider shipping by sea mail upon request. It is cheaper, but will take a long time (6 wks to 3 mths)

I pack the items in strong cardboard.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMBINED POSTAGE I AM HAPPY TO GIVE QUOTES FOR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE.

AUSSIE BIDDERS NOTE- when combining postage for LPs you can usually combine 3-4 titles in the next price bracket of up to 1kg (price varies by postcode- but generally from $10 to $13.50 mark)

Thanks for looking and happy shopping!!!!

Grading/ condition descriptions.

ABOUT THIS GRADING SCALE: it is meant to reflect both the appearance and sound quality of the LP in question. If I ever have doubts re. grading, I play test the item in question. I try to keep my vinyl clean, and so an LP rated EX, for instance, should play that way without you having to clean it first! I try to be very careful and tough with my grading, but if you are not satisfied for any reason- please contact me! None of us are infallible!

Those of you that are perfectionists should not be disappointed with anything in the scales between MINT and EXCELLENT, but if the item is below that rating, please read the descriptions carefully! 

I occasionally use a + or - to show if the LP is on the high or low side of that grade. That does not mean, however, that an EX-, for instance, is the same as VG+.

MINT: new/ unplayed. I only give this grading if I can verify that it is unused. LPS that look flawless, without that verification will be MINT-

NEAR MINT Very minor flaws/ very few fine lines or imperfections. In general- will look& sound great

EXCELLENT Minor flaws/ wear such as fine lines, fine scuffs, or minor scratches that will have a minimal impact on play response.  Sound quality should be great!

VERY GOOD Will have flaws such as scuffs, scratches, wear or other marks, but these will not be significant enough for the record to play badly. In fact typically an LP with this grading will play and sound fine- no probs for those of you who like to listen to your vinyl; just not recommended for those of you that are perfectionists.

GOOD An LP with this grading will have significant scratches, scuffs or other wear. I only will list items with this grading if obscure or of significant interest, and in this case I will play test it and give a detailed response to how well it plays in the general item description above. Usually an LP with this grading will play OK, but could have louder crackles, and/or clicks; depending on variablility between turntables there could be tracking issues too.

About ME: My husband and I are both collectors of music and books and usually only sell when we have stockpiled enough stuff we are no longer interested in, to make it viable. Usually we are just happy buying rather than selling!! But, in the next few weeks we will have a large range of LPs coming up, from all kinds of rock to experimental, jazz, mor, classical and world music.
