Description
Please keep attuned to my site because I am now selling an extraordinary collection of near mint records that I have hand picked from probably the most legendary private collection on earth. In the 1980s and 1990s, my special friendship with the famous jazz auctioneer Leon Levitt resulted in my being invited to his home in Sun Valley, California and given the opportunity to acquire the best of the best of any jazz record in which I expressed an interest. If he had twenty or thirty copies of a particular record, which was not unusual, he would allow me to take them all home and choose the best cover and the best sounding and cleanest copy of the bunch. I did this methodically for at least ten years and accumulated a collection that in terms of condition rarity is second to none on the face of the earth. I am now going to be selling these records in small groupings on ebay. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire some amazing records. I have a perfect record on ebay and, if you check the commentaries on my transactions, you will and should be perfectly comfortable with my representations. These sales are going to continue throughout the year. I cannot emphasize enough that these records are all the original first pressing, thick and chunky, and have been play graded as well as sight graded, and they will all be in extraordinary condition.
This is the second installment of extraordinary records from the Leon Leavitt special collection that I was allowed to accumulate.
This recording is Clifford Jordan’s masterpiece, and one of the most sought after of all the early Blue Notes. This is the original, deep-groove West 63rd MONO Blue Note with very heavy, chunky vinyl and exquisite sound. I am going to go out on a limb regarding this copy and say that it is the best in existence. The cover is pristine in every way. The vinyl is shiny and unblemished and the labels are perfect in every way. It looks as if it were unplayed and untouched, and, in fact, I have played it only once and it was dead quiet. I picked this copy out of at least ten in Leon’s collection, and it surpassed them all. Owning this copy would be a watershed moment in any great collection.
I will ship to USA or overseas and Insurance is required because of the rarity and value of the record. Shipping in the USA will be $15.00 plus charges for insurance. Shipping overseas will depend on location and postal rates. Payment must be made within three days of winning the auction by Paypal or postal money order and must be made in legal tender of the USA
