Sleeve Notes: This Tempo LP contains some of the happiest-sounding jazz we have ever issued. But it also marks a very sad occasion. It is the last we shall hear of the best band there has ever been since the advent of modern jazz in Britain – The Jazz Couriers, co-led by Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes. “I remember when Ronnie asked me if I'd be interested in co-leading a small group with him. That was in March 1957. I jumped at the idea because I'd been a a great admirer of his playing ever since I first took up the tenor. But at the time, I don't think either of us realized the tremendous amount of enjoyment, education and success we were to have with the band ” - Tubby Hayes
Cover: Excellent
(since it was scanned and “stitched“ you may see a line down the centre. Be assured, this is only on the photo)
Disc: Near Mint no scratches, scruffs or other flaws
Description:
Really superb cover, Original 1956 Mono pressing. Nice stiff laminated cover, all good corners, extremely minor spindle wear. Nice Shiny black record.
Some very minor damage to spine (the “d” of Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes” has been obliterated) and some very slight bending upwards of the cover where the LP enters.
For your information, this album sold for £ 307 in 2008.
