Description
OLIVER NELSON The Blues and The Abstract Truth Impulse A-S-5
This is a SEALED 1961 (presumed) Impulse stereo pressing of Oliver Nelson's, "The Blues and The Abstract Truth". Features a knock-out ensemble including Bill Evans, Eric Dophy, Freddie Hubbard, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes. Includes the classic song, "Stolen Moments". On many top 5 all-time jazz lp lists. Rare find sealed like this.
Vinyl Visual Grade: N/A as this is a flat, factory sealed lp. Not too sure on the pressing for this one, but I am assuming it is the original 1st issue orange/black (or at the very latest the red/black 2nd issue).
Vinyl Play Grade: N/A as this is a flat, factory sealed lp.
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ at least on this stickered, glossy, heavy original mono cover. Full shrink with 2 tiny breaks at top/bottom right front corners (see picture). The top corner is slightly worn at this break and the bottom corner shows a very small ding (only on reverse). Two stereo stickers front and back somewhat cover the mono catalogue number (these are under the shrink as Impulse used to do ALL the time. Cover was folded slightly off-centre so that the spine printing has overlapped the front a bit (see picture). Original neo-modern artwork cover that was soon replaced with a more buyer-friendly cover that featured Nelson front and centre.
Assumed to have printed Impulse paper inner of the era.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.
Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).
I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
