LABELS: EX CONDITION.

 

COVER: EX. AMAZING CONDITION. FRONT COVER IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION, SAME FOR THE SPINE. BACK COVER HAS LIGHT DISCOLORATION AGAINST WHITE BACKDROP DUE TO STORAGE. SEEMS ARE NICE, SOLID AND INTACT.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE AN AUTHENTIC FIRST PRESSING

 

1) B-SIDE LABEL SHOWING WRONG TRACK SEQUENCE (FLAMENCO SKETCHES FIRST, ALL BLUES SECOND).

2) DEEP GROOVE PRESSING

3) ORIGINAL COVER WITH CANNONBALL ADDERLEY’S NAME MISSPELLED

4) UNCORRECTED SPEED PITCH

5) MATRIX NUMBER (XSM 47326/47327) IN TRAIL-OFF DEAD WAX ENDS WITH “1”

6) THE NUMBER, WHICH APPEARS ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE BACK COVER, APPEARS HAND-PRINTED, USUALLY 2 OR 4. IF THIS NUMBER IS MACHINE-PRINTED, IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ISSUE.

7) ORIGINAL VERY FIRST PRESSINGS DO NOT HAVE CBS LOGOS ON TOP OF THE RECORD LABEL. IF YOU SEE THE CBS LOGO, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1961 OR 1962 ISSUE THAT IS NOT A DEEP-GROOVE ISSUE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE MATRIX NUMBER. GOOGLE SEARCH: “COLUMBIA US JAZZ LABELS” FOR USEFUL EXPLANATION.
