ATTENTION 1950s JAZZ ALBUM COLLECTORS! 

HERE'S AN LP THAT RARELY TURNS UP IN 2013. INDEED THE FIRST COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND IN 27 YEARS AS A DEALER! I PROUDLY PRESENT>>>>  "TRANSATLANTIC ALLIANCE".

SEVEN TRACKS RECORDED IN LONDON IN 1957 FEATURING SOME OF THE BEST BRITISH JAZZ MUSICIANS:VICTOR FELDMAN,TUBBY HAYES,DIZZY REECE AND JIMMY DEUCHAR. THERE ARE ALSO ADDITIONAL MUSICIANS INCLUDING TONY CROMBIE,KENNY NAPPER,PHIL SEAMEN,TERRY SHANNON AND OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE SESSIONS-SEE THE PHOTOS FOR FULL BAND LINE UPS!

1958 DECCA PRESSED TEMPO TAP 19 WITH THICK VINYL WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE 1B/1B MATRIXES AND NATURALLY SOLID MONO! 

APART FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRACK"WAIL"WHICH HAS A FEW SHORT LIVED CLICKS AND A FEW "POPS",THE REST OF THE DISC IS GENERALLY SUPERB WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-JUST A FEW ISOLATED "POPS"/SHORT LIVED FAINT CLICKS ON THE OTHER TRACKS, BUT NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS. THE DISC PLAYS VERY NICELY INDEED! NO JUMPS-NO STICKS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THE SOUND IS MUCH NEARER TO EXCELLENT FOR MOST OF THE DISC! THIS IS A COPY THAT HAS BEEN ENJOYED WITH A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT NO MAJOR FAULTS-NO NASTY DISTORTION! 

HARDLY ANY COPIES SOLD AND IT PROBABLY ONLY HAD A PRINT RUN OF ABOUT 500 COPIES,QUITE POSSIBLY DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE. VERY FEW COPIES SURVIVE, 55 YEARS ON-THE MAJORITY IN THE HAND OF PRIVATE COLLECTORS WHO WON'T SELL! REMEMBER THAT IN 1958,LPs WERE VERY EXPENSIVE AS WELLAS MANY JAZZ FANS STICKING WITH 78s AND MOST COPIES SOLD WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITH MAJOR DAMAGE!  HOUSED IN THE FULLY LAMINATED+FLIPBACK COVER WITH A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES,SOME RING WEAR STAINING,A FEW ULTRA TINY TEARS AT THE EDGES, BUT NO WRITING OR REPAIRS. INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED "HANDLING" INNER SLEEVE.

PLEASE SEE ALL FOUR OF THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS-NOTHING TO HIDE!

MINT COPIES WHICH OF COURSE ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND CAN FETCH £300 OR MORE AND WAY OUT OF THE REACH OF MOST COLLECTORS SO THIS NEAR EXCELLENT EXAMPLE THAT SOUNDS NICE IS AN ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVE WITH MY REALISTIC,LOW STARTING PRICE OF JUST £50.

POSTAGE WILL BE UK SPECIAL DELIVERY £7. INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR-EUROPE £12-REST OF THE WORLD £18.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many JAZZ MUSIC collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
