This auction is from the same collection of impeccable condition lp's I've been selling from, but we are now coming to the most collectible parts. In most cases, these are still among the finest copies imaginable. Each one will be graded individually, but many of them are just as pristine as the discs from the late 60's and early 70's.

Artist: Don Wilkerson
Title: Preach Brother
Label/Catalog #:  Blue Note BLP 4107
Mono/Stereo:  Mono
Details:  First pressing, rarely seen with a deep groove. I actually made the Discogs entry using this record. NY USA labels, deep groove side 2, Van Gelder, Ear. This came with a 25 year inner sleeve. This has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition:  M-.  Side 1 shows the tiniest amount of sleeve traces, side 2 looks completely untouched and pristine. Play graded in full at M-. I didn't hear a tick, nor a moment of crackle. Flawless player, the finest copy you'll ever see!

Cover:  M-.  Essentially like new. Bright white and unblemished, seams are perfect. Archival quality set!

Labels: See photos
