Ultra RARE Duke Pearson "Hush" on Jazz Line

$

600

Can't say enough about this one - in NM (unplayed? other than play grading) 1st Pressing Promotional Copy of a very rare Duke Pearson title, "Hush" on the "Jazz Line" label. Kind of unique is the fact that the quintet uses two trumpets and no reeds. The music is absolutely delightful and the recording terrific. It does display a few very light ticks on "Angel Eyes" but, I suspect, it just needs to be played a bit. Unfortunately, the jacket has a split at the bottom 2" of the spine but is otherwise beautiful with no tears or writing. Nice and bright.

The Artists are:

Duke Pearson, Piano; Donald Byrd, Trumpet; Johnny Coles, Trumpet; Bob Cranshaw, Bass and Walter Perkins, Drums.

The Tunes are:

Hush, Child's Play, Angel Eyes, Smoothie, Sudel, Friday's Child and Out of This World.

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 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.
