Description
Extremely hard to find jazz 10” 33rpm LP on the UK Vogue label, catalogue number L.D.E. 023, Jimmie DEUCHAR Showcase, featuring Don Rendell and Derek Humble on tenor and alto sax duties respectively.
Matt card sleeve has some edge and corner wear and creasing, light ringwear and some age browning. There is also a small punch hole in the sleeve (and the inner sleeve and Record), which I think is an import indicator, as there is also a sticker on the back for a group of Cypriot record shops, plus, in red, a stamped ‘E’ for Export. The sleeve is still very presentable, and grades Good plus.
The vinyl plays very well, with loud mono audio reproducing a superbly recorded set. Each side has some light surface marks and what look like ‘under the groove’ manufacturing lines, with a few other light hairlines, plus a few small spot marks on side 2, band 1 . There is audible background crackle at the start of each side, between bands and during quieter passages, but the audio is very strong, despite this surface noise. However, it is louder in some parts more than others. No skips, no jumps, not a perfect copy, but still an enjoyable listen.
Taking into account a visual inspection and playing quality together, the vinyl grades VG- overall.
All in all, The is is a great playing copy of a very scarce 50s jazz classic with a legendary ‘Brit-Jazz’ pedigree. The only copy I have ever seen in 40 plus years of record collecting!
UK Record Collector grading guidelines adhered to.
