Mega Rare LP of Charles Mingus - The Clown (Atlantic 1260 - mono)  1950s White label with center fan and deep groove rings on both sides - NOT a current re-issue.   Classic Mingus LP features the bassist along with Wade Legge, Curtis Porter, Danny Richmond, Jean Shepherd and others in an acknowledged classic that no serious jazz collector can be without.

The LP is in VG+ condition with marks that will make noise and with much of the original shine - not ofr the audiophile, but not trashed either - still, you will hear some noise on this LP.  The cover is in VG+ condition with some general age/shelf wear, but NO splits, NO tape, NO writing, NO stickers, NO stamps.  Not perfect, but how many copies on this one do you see at any price?


The LP will be carefully packed using professional materials (over twenty years experience safely selling jazz LPs around the world). 

Shipping discounts available for multiple items sent together to any country.

Mailing costs have gone up.  Postal rates have increased dramatically, the cost of record mailers has increased and e-bay now charges a fee for mailing - in addition to Paypal’s fees on mailing payments.   I have done what I can to keep mailing costs down, but I have no control over these increases.

International mailing costs:   International overseas mailing to Europe for one LP would be $29.00.  One LP to Japan, Southeast Asia and Australia would be $32.00.  This reflects increases in postage costs, e-bay fees on mailing, Paypal fees on mailing as well as mailers and packing materials.   One LP to Canada would be $25.00

US mailing costs:  Media mail rate as calculated to a U.S. address.  This reflects increases in postage costs, e-bay fees on mailing, Paypal fees on mailing as well as the cost of mailers and packing materials.  

Paypal accepted or write for preferred payment options.  Serious bidders only - payment must be received in ten days from notification.  All items are guaranteed upon return in condition sent, but mailing costs are NOT refundable.  Thanks for your interest and good luck.
