Description

Sonny Rollins Vol. 2 LP Blue Note 1558 Ear RVG FIRST PRESSING 47 W.63rd address.
One of Newk's finest sessions!  Everyone sounds really good!  Note Paul Chambers' beautiful sound! This is a First Issue, 1957.  The early Blue Note records had a distinctive and beautiful sound.  
Rollins, J.J., Monk, Chambers, Blakey.
The Vinyl has many light scratches, some of which are audible.  They don't interfere with listening (for me).The sleeve has a large, light, water stain on the back.  The top and bottom edges are separated but easily repairable. 
For collectors, it's key to know that genuine 1st pressings of this release must have:

01. 47 west 63rd New York 23 address on both labels,
02. RVG initials hand etched in both trail offs
03. New York 23 address on back cover, no "inc"
04. Beaded rim, not flat
05. Deep groove on both sides
06. Blank spine
07. 'P' a.k.a. Plastylite "ear" in trail off + 9M
08. Laminated cover (source: "Blue Note Records, A Guide to Identifying Original Pressings" - written by Frederic Cohen).


N-. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage. E+. Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets. E . Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches. E-. Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches. VG+. An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced VG. Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive. VG-. Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level. G+. Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches. G. Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise. G-. Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.
