 IF YOU CLEAN THIS A FEW TIMES BEFORE YOU PLAY IT, YOU WILL SEE SONNY IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES (IF YOU CAN VISUALIZE HIM). HE WILL SOUND LIKE HE'S THERE IN THE ROOM WITH YOU. RVG DID THAT WELL IN RECORDING THIS DISK AND IT IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST YOU CAN POSSIBLY FIND!

 SONNY ROLLINS

BLUE NOTE 1558  VOL 2

Label: BLUE NOTE 1558  WEST 63rd New York 23 Deep Groove on both sides

Format: 33 rpm 12" LP mono

Country: USA

Markings:

Stampers: Side 1: BNLP-1558-A2; Side 2: BNLP-1558-B1

Side 1: RVG stamped in dead wax and Ear scribed. Also “9M” mark.

Side 2: Ear and RVG scribed free-hand in dead wax, not stamped.

Cover Condition: Very Good+ Split across top near opening that is about 5 inches long. Split all the way along the spine. Two small scotch tape pieces on back. Owner’s name written in upper left corner of back.  Number 2601 written in lower left of back cover. Front and back covers are clear with some rubbing on the back bottom and some cellophane separation on the front left.

Vinyl Condition:   VERY GOOD +

Side 1: Five or six nail marks in band 3 and 4 or 5 1-inch scratches in bands 2 and 3. Three or four finger prints in bands 1 and 2. This has been played, but is an early stamper and with this side cleaned well, it should play incredibly well. I have gotten nearly stereoscopic soundstages from vinyl that looks like this.

Side 2:  1 ¼ inch scratch across Band 3. Some other small nail marks – scuffs in bands 2 and 3. Finish is a bit matted and not very shiny.

Year Released: 1957 

This buy, at almost any price, is a big winner. Pick it up.
