Orig. Prestige-Sonny Rollins & The Modern Jazz Quartet

$

400

This Sonny Rollins Gem is in very nearly new condition-looks unplayed. Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet, Prestige 7029, 446 West 50th Street address, deep grooves and RVG in the dead wax. Simply a great record in terrific shape. The jacket does have a pretty good ding and the beginning of a split at the lower right and two very small corner nicks at top and bottom of spine. Otherwise, nice and bright with slight dulling of the laminate.

There are three different sessions on this LP and all are terrific.

First: Sonny Rollins, Tenor; Kenny Drew, Piano; Percy Heath, Bass and Art Blakey, Drums play:

Mambo Bounce, Time On My Hands, This Love oif Mine, Shadrack, Slow Boat To China, Scoops, With a Song In My Heart and Newk's Fadeaway.

Second: Substitute Miles Davis for Kenny Drew on Piano and Roy Haynes for Art Blakey on Drums - playing:

I Know

and last: Sonny Rollins, Tenor; John Lewis, Piano; Milt Jackson, Vibes, Percy Heath, Bass and Kenny Clarke, Drums playing:

The Stopper, In A Sentimental Mood, No Moe and Almost Like Being In Love.

The designation "Review Copy" generally assures that an LP is an early 1st pressing. Please take note: Most review copies (Blue Note and Prestige expecially) are designated as such by a RUBBER STAMP on either the jacket, the label or both. If you have an aversion to rubber stamps, please do not bid on these.

Over the next few months I will be selling selected gems from my personal collection. I have begun with some of the more modest offerings in order to build my feedback and have progressed to rarer items. While I may be new to Ebay I am NOT new to record collecting. All LP's offered by me have been owned (40+ years) since new - most have been played no more than 2 or 3 times. Note: All are guaranteed or your money back! So please bid with confidence.

All records are strictly graded according to GoldMine standards with one exception. I believe GoldMine has too large a gap between M- and VG+. I have added VG++ which, I believe, is MUCH better that VG+ but not quite M-. Play grading is done on a VPI HW-19 Mk-IV with SME-IV Tonearm and Shure V-15VxMR cartridge. All records are wet vacuum cleaned on a VPI HW-16.5 record cleaner using Record Research Labs Super Vinyl Wash and Disk Doctor brushes. I WILL NOT offer for sale any LPs with groove-damage distortion. I will not offer any graded below VG+.

SPECIAL NOTE RE: DEEP GROOVES. (Blue Note Only) Beginning with BLP-4061 very few first pressings were deep groove. Many second pressings were however. "Deep Groove" does not refer to the playing area but to a groove stamped in the label area. (Apologies to those who already know this - but I've had many questions).

All LP's will be packaged in sturdy cardboard mailers designed for the purpose and will include extra cardboards top and bottom. LP's are in new poly lined sleeves and original sleeves are included as well. LP remains in new sleeve but is packaged outside of the jacket. Both LP & jacket are encased in an outer poly sleeve. This is considered the safest way to avoid damage to LP and jacket.
