first, thanks to the buyers to bought the other two Emarcy LPs of this vintage/amazing condition from us and happy to see they thought our grades were conservative and the LPs played better than the grades. Thank you. When selling expensive records
of this vintage. you better know how to grade and to be on the conservative side.

WOW,  1955 deep groove (THE EARLIER 10" VERSION WAS RELEASED IN '54, THIS 12" EDITION IN '55) that's become exceedingly rare in nice shape.

This is the first edition with blue "Drummer" labels without "Mercury helmet", and with deep groove.

Album by the Clifford Brown and Max Roach Quintet, described by The New York Times as "perhaps the definitive bop group until Mr. Brown's fatal automobile accident in 1956". The album was critically well-received and includes several notable tracks, including two that have since become jazz standards. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. It is included in Jazz: A Critic's Guide to the 100 Most Important Recordings at #34, where it is described by New York Times jazz critic Ben Ratliff as "one of the strongest studio albums up to that time".

The majority of the sessions that comprise this album were recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood in August 1954. Two of the tracks were recorded in February 1955 at Capitol Studios in New York City.
CONDITION: SLEEVE:  ooh..Near mint minus. The gloss is fantastic and uniform. no seam split anywhere. but back cover is  not as perfect, it has a tiny pencil marked price in upper back left corner and back cover isn't as bright as it could be. maybe that amounts to a minus at worst.

VINYL:  fully playgraded  a conservative NM-.   some tracks play Near Mint (using NM as best possible grade). we take grading expensive records seriously especially Jazz.
