  CHET BAKER Chet RIVERSIDE 1135 STEREO FROM 1959 RARE!


A VG/VG MINUSORIGINAL LP ON RIVERSIDE RLP 1135

FROM 1959 A STEREOPHONIC PRESSING IN SPECTROSONIC FORMAT WITH REEL TO REEL TAPE DECK AND MICROPHONE IN SILVER ON BLACK LABEL(NOT DEEP GROOVE)

WHY ARE RIVERSIDE STEREOPHONIC RECORDS SPECIAL? AS MENTIONED ON SOME RIVERSIDE BACK LINER NOTES:Riverside stereo recording is designed to achieve a true spacial effect through proper microphone placement. Avoiding the so called "ping pong" effect (an extreme left-right division by which sound is heard through the two speakers only, with a silent "hole" between them), our aim is to retain the natural sounds as you would hear them originally. This recording method, plus the finest of re-recording techniques, enables us to provide you with a truly three dimensional experience in sound, in which a "phantom" speaker seems to exist between your actual two speakers, providing a continuous arc of sound.

PRODUCED BY ORRIN KEEPNEWS AND RECORDED BY JACK HIGGINS AT REEVES SOUND STUDIOS

WITH CHET ON TRUMPET, HERBIE MANN ON FLUTE, PEPPER ADAMS ON BARITONE SAX, BILL EVANS ON PIANO, KENNY BURRELL ON GUITAR, PAUL CHAMBERS ON BASS, CONNIE KAY OR PHILLY JOE JONES ON DRUMS

THE GLOSSY FRONT COVER STOCK WITH RUB WEAR. CORNERS AND EDGES WITH ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES. BOTTOM EDGE SPLIT DEAD CENTER ABOUT FOUR INCHES. BACK WHITE CARD STOCK WITH RUB AND RING WEAR AND AGE DISCOLORATION.

VIRGIN SPINDLE HOLE SIDE ONE. SIDE TWO HOLE WITH A LIGHT STRAY RUB MARK. THE HIGH LUSTER VINYL BLANK WITH LIGHT AND FINE SURFACE RUB MARKS AND SURFACE RUB SCUFF PLAY LINES. I'VE TEST PLAYED THIS LP ON THE VPI TURNTABLE AND PROFESSIONAL SOUND SYSTEM AND THERE IS SOME LIGHT SURFACE BACKGROUND NOISE ON BOTH SIDES. NOT A DISTRACTION, BUT PRESENT AND SEEMINGLY MORE CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS PLAYS THAN THE COSMETIC ITEMS.

Biography
by William Ruhlmann
Chet Baker was a primary exponent of the West Coast school of cool jazz in the early and mid-'50s. As a trumpeter, he had a generally restrained, intimate playing style and he attracted attention beyond jazz for his photogenic looks and singing. But his career was marred by drug addiction. 

Baker's father, Chesney Henry Baker,Sr., was a guitarist who was forced to turn to other work during the Depression; his mother, Vera (Moser) Baker, worked in a perfumery. The family moved from Oklahoma to Glendale, CA, in 1940. As a child, Baker sang at amateur competitions and in a church choir. Before his adolescence, his father brought home a trombone for him, then replaced it with a trumpet when the larger instrument proved too much for him. He had his first formal training in music at Glendale ... Read More...

AND, LASTLY, PLEASE DO REMEMBER SOUND QUALITY IS AFFECTED BY WHAT THE VINYL IS PLAYED ON! IF YOUR STEREO SYSTEM HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CHOSEN AND ASSEMBLED FOR IT'S AURAL QUALITIES AND YOU PERFORM BASIC MAINTENANCE LIKE CLEANING YOUR VINYL, CLEANING THE NEEDLE AFTER EACH PLAY, AND REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE WHEN NEEDED, YOUR LPS SHOULD SOUND QUITE GOOD.

PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT CONDITIONS OF SALE:
GRADING & POLICIES: ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED AND THE RED GRADE REFERS ONLY TO THE STATE OF VINYL......YOU PLAY THE VINYL AND NOT THE COVER....COVER IS NOTED SEPARATELY. IF I'VE LISTENED TO THE LP IT WILL BE NOTED. The following is a general overview about grades, subject to any above notations: MINT indicates pristine vinyl without any marks on surface. MINT MINUS may contain a few very light surface rub marks from play or sleeve wear under light. If you are a real collector, you'll know that even a factory sealed LP occasionally has some light sleeve or rub marks. Anything in the VG category would contain some light and fine surface play lines and or have some other visible signs of ring or hole wear. Rarely do I offer something in the "G" state. If I do, it's usually a rare LP and priced accordingly. Values are assigned according to market availability, rarity and my experience in the business for over 25 years, not a price guide or any other standard.

PAYMENT: PAYPAL ONLY ACCEPTED AND SHOULD BE MADE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF SALE END (IF YOU BID ON SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY FOR IT). IF PAYING BY PAYPAL E-CHECK PLEASE ADVISE BEFORE BIDDING. I like to ship your records out within 2-3 days of payment, so using PAYPAL gets the records to you ASAP and concludes the transaction. Contact me after the auction if your PAYPAL payment will be delayed so I know what's going on. FOREIGN CUSTOMERS: The 1st LP is $16 for 1st class airmail, each additional LP is $4 (up to a total of four, five and over need priority and the price almost doubles). IF YOU CAN NOT EDIT THE EBAY OR PAYPAL CHECKOUT TO REFLECT FOUR DOLLARS FOR EACH EXTRA LP, PLEASE PAY THE $16 AIRMAIL CHARGE EACH TIME AND THE EXCESS POSTAGE WILL BE REFUNDED BACK TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR PAYPAL PAYMENT.

SHIPPING: QUESTION: SHIPPING QUESTION: WHY ARE SHIPPING CHARGES SO HIGH? ANSWER: BECAUSE ALL LPS ARE SENT DOMESTIC INSURED WHILE FOREIGN POSTAGE IS NOW $12-15 FOR ONE RECORD. ALL LPS ARE SHIPPED WITH A NEW PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE SURROUNDED BY 2 NEW CORRUGATED PACKING SQUARES(50 cents each) INSIDE A NEW CORRUGATED LP MAILER($1.50 each) WITH FRAGILE STICKERS OUTSIDE TO ENSURE THE LP ARRIVES JUST AS IT LEFT AND THAT IS $2.50 BESIDES POSTAGE!

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: IMPORT DUTIES, TAXES AND CHARGES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ITEM PRICE OR SHIPPING CHARGES. THESE CHARGES ARE THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR COUNTRY'S CUSTOMS OFFICE TO DETERMINE WHAT THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS WILL BE PRIOR TO BIDDING/BUYING. WE SHIP IN A TIMELY MANNER WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF YOUR PAYMENT.

YOUR SATISFACTION: Your positive feedback and excellent seller rating of 5 in each category is very important to me. I try to give as much detail as possible about appearance and condition. Should your purchase not meet your expectations please contact me before leaving feedback and detailed seller rating. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE TO ME. Do you know how the Ebay Seller Ratings System works? Did you know that even a 4 rating is a bad rating for a seller? With most rating systems of 1 to 5(highest), you would expect a "4" to be a very good rating and a "5" to be an excellent/highest rating. You purchase an item on Ebay and the product, service, communications or fees were very good but not great. You give the seller all 4's thinking this is very good.(Most rating systems equate 1=lowest, 2=fair, 3=good, 4=very good, 5=highest). Unfortunately this is not how it works on EBAY as of May 2008. ONLY A "5" IS A GOOD RATING. The lowest acceptable average for each category is 4.6; below that a seller receives a "NEEDS WORK" and their standings in the listings are lowered. SURPRISING BUT TRUE AND SEEMINGLY UNFAIR.
