THE TUBBY HAYES QUINTET: AFTER LIGHTS OUT

Beautiful and very rare British Jazz LP.

In fantastic condition throughout.

A real Holy Grail. I try to avoid hyperbole but this virtually never turns up to sale and never in this type of condition (see below for grading)

Tubby Hayes (Tenor Sax); Dickie Hawdon (Trumpet); Harry South (Piano); Bill Eyden (Drums).

COUNTRY: UK

YEAR: 1956

LABEL: Tempo

CATALOGUE NUMBER: TAP 6

GRADING

SLEEVE: EX

The fragile. Fully laminated sleeve is in very nice clean condition. The front is stunning with no laminate peel or lift, colours are lovely and vivid. The edges are sharp and free from wear or damage save for a very small (2mm) rub to the bottom edge (see image for how well the spine has stood the test of time). There are a couple of imperfections UNDER the laminate to the top right-hand corner (see image) and some slight laminate separation to the rear at the bottom left hand corner. There is some very slight foxing to the rear.

RECORD: EX+

Wow. In stunning condition. The labels show a few spindle marks but you wouldn’t know that the record has been played from the look of the surfaces. There are a couple of very fine sleeve removal type marks when the record is viewed under bright halogen light but they are barely worth mentioning. Stunning. Sounds AMAZING, no pops or clicks or other other unwanted distortion. Wonderful.

The above record grading is based on Record Collector magazine’s system (I do not use NM – EX+ is my highest grading for unsealed records):

Mint (M) Sealed

Excellent + (EX+) The record / sleeve should be in perfect condition.

Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good (VG) / Very Good + (VG+) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good (G) / Good + (G+) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
