Description

Blue Note is loved, revered, respected and recognized as one of the most important record labels in the history of popular music. In the late 1950s, many Blue Note artists were moving from Charlie Parker style Hard Bop towards a more accessible Funky Blues style which would feed through into Soul by the end of the 1960s. 

 

This is Herbie Hancock’s second album for Blue Note, and expands past the traditional Hard Bop style as shown by the track “Blind Man, Blind Man” issued as a single. The line-up includes Donald Byrd, Grachan Moncur III, Hank Mobley, Grant Green, Chuck Israels and Anthony Williams.

 

Record Grading and Condition: G+ This copy is a US Import bought in the UK during the 1960s and played regularly at that time. The disc has been inspected to find a small scuff on Side 1 Track 1 plus other faint surface scratches but plays OK with some light noise.

 

Sleeve Grading: G+ Light scuffing around edges, discoloration of notes side and small stain due to usage and age. The interior sleeve is headed “27 YEARS BLUE NOTE” in Good condition.

 

Label & Authentication: Blue Note Records Inc, 43 West 61st St, New York 23; “VANGELDER” machine pressed into the run-out on both sides, dating production to 1961/2 onwards.

 

Note to intending buyers: The Goldmine/eBay grading scale, i.e. M / NM / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / F / P, has been used to describe condition. The album on sale is over 50 years old and was frequently played at the time; so assessment has been deliberately conservative in stating an overall level of G+ (Good+). All feedback will be gratefully received.

 

Supplementary Note: This album was sold during February; however issues with the auction process led to the order being cancelled by mutual consent with the buyer. It is now being offered again at the same starting price as the original auction.
