Artist: Hank Mobley Title: S/T Label: Blue Note 1568 (Mono, DG, RVG,’ear’, Side 1: 47 West 63rd NYC, Side 2: 47 West 63rd New York 23). Condition: Cover VG+; Record VG+ (info below). Artists: Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Bill Hardman (trumpet), Curtis Porter (alto & tenor sax), Sonny Clark (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Taylor (drums). Details: Here we go, folks! It stands as the most difficult to obtain classic released on the iconic Blue Note label. This is one of the rare true first press copies of this record with the side 2 variant address of 47 West 63. Don’t miss out on this amazing gem! The cover is impressively well-kept and is VERY STURDY. There is a slight bend in the cover. Has some minor yellowing on the cover, and a few dings and marks. There is about a 1/4 chip at the top of the cover. All four corners are a bit rounded with the bottom left having a slight ding. No splits at all on the cover (see pictures for more details). Includes it’s original blank sleeve that is in excellent shape. The record is now housed in a separate audiophile sleeve in order to keep it safe and to keep the original, 60-year-old sleeve from splitting. The record is in SOLID VG+ condition with some very minor marks that do not affect play. It has been professionally cleaned on a VPI. The album was play-graded on a Project turntable with Ortofon needle and played with only minor noise during the extremely quiet parts of “Bags Groove” during the Paul Chambers solo. The labels are a lovely white and blue, with minimal spindle wear. If you need to see more pictures of the item in addition to what has already been provided, please let me know.
