  BOBBY HUTHCERSON        The Kicker         Blue Note BST 21437
Up for auction is an opened but not played 2020 Blue Note Tone Poet series release of Bobby Hutcherson's very first session for Blue Note, "The Kicker". Recorded at the end of 1963 but not released until 1999 (ON CD ONLY), this great session is here given the proper vinyl release that it should have received 59 years ago. Just an unbelievably strong session, featuring a very young Joe Henderson (who composed the title track, and 5 years later released an lp bearing the same title. Grant Green is also a standout here.      

DEAD WAX INFO:  Far too much for me to bother and list. See Discogs entry if interested.   VINYL VISUAL: NM with no issues and basically archive condition.
VINYL PLAY GRADE: ASSUMED NM as I did not play this. I bought 2 copies and mistakenly opened them both (I'm an idiot). This is the copy that has yet to be played. HONESTLY. My play copy has fidelity to die for. How did this remain unreleased for so long. Jazz fans sure do owe a lot of gratitude to Michael Cuscuna.       
COVER VISUAL: NM and pretty much archive condition. The 3rd picture shows just how far I allowed the gatefold to be opened.    
Comes with original heavy plastic Audiophile style inner. Original outer with 2 hype stickers.   DETAILS ON SELLER AND SHIPPING 
HELLO ALL. My name is Jamie, and I have been collecting records steadily for over 45 years.  After a bit of a respite from selling on Ebay, I am back and will be selling a ton of stuff over the next few years. My tastes run all over the map, so there will be something for everyone. All opened items will be visually AND aurally graded. All Dead Wax info will be listed. Play grade is done on a Thorens TD 165 through Yamaha amplification and JBL reference headphones (treble set high so there will be no surprises when you get the item). 
ALL ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH PROPER MAILERS AND EXTRA PADDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS. I HAVE MADE FAR TOO MANY PURCHASES ON EBAY WHERE THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED WITH DINGED CORNERS DUE TO INADEQUATE PACKAGING MATERIAL. BY USING FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP IN ALL FOUR CORNERS, YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF AN ITEM WITHOUT DINGED CORNERS (OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER).             Non-tracked shipping throughout the U.S.A will be $13 CANADIAN per item, as will tracked shipping within Canada. Tracked shipping to the U.S.A. will be $16 CANADIAN for items under 500g, and slightly more for items over 500g. Most single sleeve items can be shipped as under 500g. Gatefolds and multi-sets will be over 500g. 
Being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing ALL of the shipping material cost, and some of the actual postage cost.
If you have issue with an item, PLEASE work with me to achieve an outcome that will be to your satisfaction. I do offer full refunds (excluding cost to get it back to me), on any item that is not satisfactory.       SINCE SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE (Thank You Canada Post), I will rarely list gatefolds or multi-items for sale overseas. IF ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS CRAZY INTERESTED IN ANY ITEM, I WILL QUOTE SHIPPING ON REQUEST. Since a lot of the stuff that I will be selling is of higher end quality, rarely will things be offered overseas. Sorry folks. Again, I can consider requests on an item-by-item basis. THANKS FOR READING, everyone.       Occasionally I will be selling rare and collectible CDs. Shipping obviously will be much less, around $5 CANADIAN within North America.
