$

394

Here's another very desireable Blue Note title - Sonny Clark, "Leapin' and Lopin'" with RVG and ear in dead wax. Original pressing Review copy. Vinyl is NM and plays quietly. Jacket is likewise NM except for a light "wrinkle" in the upper left. Not dented. Shows virtually no shelf wear, nice and bright with no seam splits or writing. Great music, Great musicians.

The artists:

Tommy Turrentine, Trumpet; Charlie Rouse, Tenor; Sonny Clark, Piano; Butch Warren, Bass and Bill Higgins, Drums. Add Ike Quebec on *

The tunes they play:

Somethin' Special, Deep In A Dream*, Melody for C, Eric Walks, Voodoo and Midnight Mambo.

The designation "Review Copy" generally assures that an LP is an early 1st pressing.

Over the next few months I will be selling selected gems from my personal collection. I will begin with some of the more modest offerings in order to build my feedback and then progress 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.
