Description
This is the rare, original deep-groove RVG-etched "P" pressing of Lee Morgan Presenting on the Lexington Avenue labels of Blue Note BLP 1538. The flat rim playing surface is in extraordinary condition: Side 1 has only a light, superficial paper scuff, while Side 2 is flawless; both sides have a high luster; perhaps played once or twice. The non-laminated frame cover has the Lexington Avenue address: there is superficial flaking of the coating along the spine, particularly at the top; rubbing and similar superficial wear along the bottom seam, with a ¼" break at the opening. The slick has a ¼" chip at the top left corner and a 2" crease at the center of the right edge.
Personnel includes Clarence Sharpe, Horace Silver, Wilbur Ware, and "Philly" Joe Jones.
