Description
SONNY ROLLINS - WAY OUT WEST 1959 MONO PRESSING - FACTORY SEALED!!!
Here is an item that you will never see again.
A factory sealed mono pressing of "Way Out West" by Sonny Rollins from 1959.
This is a rare Canadian first pressing that would be difficult to find under normal circumstances, let alone a sealed copy.
As seen in the photos, the sleeve has some mild discoloration and the record is presumed mint as the item remains factory sealed.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (unless you purchase this and then sell it to a lucky person in the future).
NOTE: No returns once the item is opened.

About the album (from allaboutjazz.com):
Though he had worked with Thelonious Monk and Red Garland, Rollins just couldn't settle on a pianist that would leave him the adequate space he felt his horn needed to express all the ideas running around his head (he called it strolling.) So it was at three o'clock AM on March 7 of '57 at Contemporary Studio in LA, that Rollins, along with the ever pliable and reliable bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne providing effortlessly minimalist rhythm that Rollins set out on his first trio minus piano experiment, an experiment that would have landmark future results with explosive A Night At The Village Vanguard. Consistently hitting peak improvisation on such loopy, unexpected material as "I'm An Old Cowhand" and "Wagon Wheels" is what marks this disc as iconic. That and the and way too cool cover of the sax colossus himself amongst the cactus and tumbling tumbleweeds in cowboy threads brandishing his killer horn.
