The record you are viewing is part of a collection acquired through a successful auction bid. The product purchased is from a deceased record store owner whose doors closed circa 1970, having made a run of it during the 60's. An incredibly large volume of LPs remained, many in new (sealed) or pristine condition and properly stored. These will comprise the bulk of offerings I will be posting on eBay. With a vast and well preserved inventory, it will take time to sift through and uncover the many hidden gems that await. My goal is to present these finds to eBay buyers in a timely and systematic manner. I am aware finds of this nature are indeed rare, but the fact is, the records I will be listing have sat undisturbed for over 40 years waiting to be rediscovered, shared and enjoyed. I hope you will find some items you've been wanting and can be part of, what I feel, is an historical find. All items kept in smoke-free, pet-free environment.
Impulse gatefold Stereo vinyl LP A-25 (Van Gelder stamped in dead wax both sides) - Burt Goldblatt photo - released 1962
EX vinyl appears unplayed. Track two side one has what may be two sleeve scuffs but no audible detection when test played once on NAD C555 turntable. Excepting the rare occasional singular click this is a beautiful stereo recording revealing great presence and sound. The laminated gatefold cover is a strong VG + to EX -. Firm straight broad spine and seams. Small nick lower left corner 1/2" from bottom spine, thin 1" laminate lift upper right corner. Very light shelf wear. Interior has some light spotting consistent with age. As with other Impulse gatefolds' from this collection, I have opted not to photograph interior because spine hinge is so strong it is as if unopened prior and I do not wish to compromise. Suffice to say this is a really clean package overall.
