                           ORIGINAL 1959 U.S. STEREO LP.

DOES HAVE LIGHT MARKS / SCRATCHES BUT NEEDLE STAYS IN PLACE, & PLAYS THROUGH. DOES HAVE SOME LIGHT BACK ROUND NOISE, BUT NOTHING THAT WOULD MAKE ANY LESS ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO. ONLY SAMPLED A FEW SECONDS OF EACH TRACK BOTH SIDES. PROBABLY WOULD SOUND NICER WITH A GOOD CLEANING.   MATRIX ON DEAD WAX READS;

BRIEF NOTE ABOUT WAX: LADY JOSEPHINE (A.K.A. SHORTY)

 

I MET JOSEPHINE & HER NIECE BACK IN DECEMBER 2015. SHE WAS AN ELDERLY PETITE ITALIAN WOMAN (80’s) WHO LIVED IN NYC’s WEST VILLAGE. SHE SHARED MEMORIES W/ ME OF HER YOUTH & THE CLUBS SHE WENT TO AS A YOUNG WOMAN DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE BE-BOP/HARD–BOP ERA OF JAZZ (SMALLS on W10 St., VILLAGE VANGUARD 7Th Ave South, CAFÉ WAH MacDougal St., VILLAGE GATE Bleecker St. etc). PRIOR TO PARTING WAYS, I INQUIRED IF SHE HAD ANY WAX THAT SHE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SELLING. SHE ASKED FOR MY PHONE NUMBER & TOLD HER NIECE, “UPON HER PASSING, TO GIVE ME A CALL.”  I RECENTLY RECEIVED THAT PHONECALL & WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE APROX. 400 LP’s. THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE ORIGINAL MONO PRESSINGS ON THAT HEAVY WEIGHT 200grm WAX FROM THE 50’s & 60’s. A HANDFUL WERE IN EX to NM- CONDITION, MOST OTHERS VG- / VG / VG+. THIS PARTICULAR LP IS FROM HER COLLECTION. *R.I.P. SHORTY*
