OSCAR PETERSON
EXCLUSIVELY FOR MY FRIEND
RARE 1968 4 LP BOX SET
POLYDOR 109628 - 31
ORIGINAL UK 1968 1st PRESSING
With 8 page Booklet
RECORDS BOX AND INSERT ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION!!!
The full set of four albums - this set has always been rare to find but over 51 years after production they are almost impossible to find complete and in any condition let alone as STUNNING as they are in this set.
These four records collect the material of trios and solos that Oscar Peterson recorded in Villingen, Germany, between 1963 and 1968. On standards galore, Peterson never lets up in his rigorous, swinging approach. He is at his prime on these recordings, as he himself noted later. The improvisations range from extraordinary to awe-inspiring. The lyricism of is in there, along with -esque rococoisms and -like attack. Which partners best complemented Peterson's girth, and bowed to it least, is always in dispute. On six tracks here, and Ed Thigpen lay claim against the earlier Brown-Herb Ellis unit. The set comes with a 8 page booklet containing black-and-white historical and original-cover photographs.

Grading:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
