ATTENTION MILES DAVIS,JOHN COLTRANE,1950s AMERICAN BOP JAZZ COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! IGNORE EVERY OTHER COPY ON EBAY(IF YOU CAN FIND ONE)AND LOOK AT THIS STUNNING ORIGINAL 1ST UK EDITION MONO LP FROM 1961 OF ESSENTIAL 1956 RECORDINGS! "STEAMIN". THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET FEATURING JOHN COLTRANE. HERE IS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE VERY BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD IN NEARLY 30 YEARS AS A DEALER OF AN ALBUM WHICH USUALLY TURNS UP IN DREADFUL CONDITION!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1961 MONO 1ST ISSUE OF AN ALBUM THAT HAS 6 TRACKS OFTEN RUINED ON LATER REISSUES BY ELECTRONIC STEREO OR EXTRA ECHO! HERE ARE THE ORIGINAL VERSIONS IN GREAT SOLID MONO SOUND ON QUIET AND MEGA-THICK VINYL!  1961 ESQUIRE 32-138 WITH ROUGH TEXTURED AND GROOVED LABELS.HOUSED IN THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK SLEEVE WHICH IS VERY CLEAN-JUST A FEW MINOR CREASES-NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

FROM THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER JAZZ AND CLASSICAL MUSIC COLLECTOR THAT CLEARLY HAS HAD VERY FEW PLAYS INDEED! JUST BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT AN LP FROM  55 YEARS AGO SOUNDS LIKE WITH PRACTICALLY NO CRACKLE,NO DISTORTION,NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO SWISHES-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING COPY! GLEAMING SURFACES THAT RARELY EXIST ON ANY LP OF THIS AGE LET ALONE AN EARLY 1960s JAZZ ONE THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR SURFACE MARKS ADDED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF USE BY THE MAJORITY OF BUYERS IN 1961.  UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY,FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE AND THAT IS BEING MEGA-STRICT!

DOES THE GRADING MINT EXIST? ONLY IF IT IS 100% UNPLAYED AND/OR SEALED AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED WHICH IS WHY REGULAR BUYERS WILL KNOW MY NEAR MINT GRADINGS EQUAL MOST PEOPLE'S MINT! THEREFORE MY NEAR MINT GRADING GIVES YOU THE IMPRESSION JUST HOW OUTSTANDING THIS EXAMPLE IS!

LOCATING AN OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING DISTORTION AND MAJOR WEAR. THIS COPY IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD AND AS SUCH THE DISC IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THICK VINYL.NO SPINDLE WEAR. THE  LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.THERE IS A WONDERFUL SHEEN AND A WHITENESS,BRIGHTNESS AND CLEANLINESS WHICH TAKES THE BREATH AWAY! THIS WILL BE HARD TO BEAT! FACT! NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL!

THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS COVER I HAVE EVER SEEN! 

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE SPINE+BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE RARE JAZZ LPs FROM ME ON EBAY ENDING AT AUCTION ON THE SAME EVENING AS THIS ONE ENDS.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  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!!!!     

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!!!!
