This one is mono, first deep grooved pressing of Hank Mobley's Soul Station. Blue Note Records BLP-4031. The is an original issue from Blue Note Records in 1960, not a reissue version of Classic Records or Analog Production.  Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder with "RVG" and "EAR" stamped on the dead wax of both sides.  Address on labels: "BLUE NOTE RECORDS INC., 47 WEST 63rd. NYC"


Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Blakey (drums).


The vinyl plays VG++ on both sides. Visually, the vinyl looks shiny and glossy with non-feelable scuffs and hairlines.  Lots of spindle marks on both labels. Thus visually, because of that spindle marks, I rate it only VG+. 


The cover is NM.  Beautiful, no split, and no fading. Just a little bruises here and there. The spine is intact and readable.  


The record is play graded as well as visually. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. 


My grading is as follows: M (perfectly like new), NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG-, G, G-. You will be satisfied.  And I will accept a free return.  Please bid with confidence.
