Beautiful copy of the 1940 true first pressing of Decca Presents Art Tatum in an Album of Piano Solos, on Decca 18000 series album no. 126. Beautiful jazz piano recordings from 1939-40. This is the original maroon label pressing, a much better sounding copy compared to the way more common later pressings. And this is a gorgeous copy. All three discs are in wonderful condition, with maybe just a touch of surface scuffing in a couple of spots but generally unblemished, shiny, and clean. They play perfectly and just beautifully. The cover has only light wear, mainly at the bottom edge and both right corners, but really not bad. The spine is nearly perfect and the binding is strong. This is truly a top original copy. Hard to beat.
