THE IMMORTAL CHARLIE PARKER- 1st Ed Pressing on Savoy MG 12001 from 1955 RVG EX+





‎– The Immortal Charlie Parker Label: ‎– MG-12001    Original 1st Mono Edition Pressing Format: , LP, Album:    Please see below for the deadwax identifiers Country: Released: Genre: Style:

THE VINYL :  EX+ :  Lightly played with minimal evidence of spindlewear, both sides of the LP retain all of their original gloss with bright, undamaged Red and Silver Savoy Labels. Present on both sides are a few light marks, including some sleevewear from the original paper inner sleeve and a few minor hairlines. There are no deep marks. I did a playgrade on this beauty, and heard no audio effects from the light marks.

The great Rudy Van Gelder  was the remastering Recording Engineer on this release.  His etched initials (RVG) are in the deadwax run out on both sides.
 
In all, the record has been carefully handled and produces a clean, strong audio.



THE COVER :  EX+ :  Exceptionally well-stored / the only visible flaw is some ink writing on the back cover (please use the magnification feature on the back cover photo to view) / glossy, black and white front cover photo of The Bird / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact / no other writing / no paper loss, paper tears, dirt, or stains.


We have placed both the cover and the LP into separate, protective sleeves. The cover is a bit tight, so we have placed the LP into a vintage wax inner sleeve that fits nicely.
