ATTENTION 1960s JAZZ ALBUM COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! 

HERE ARE A PAIR OF ALBUMS RARELY SEEN AS OUTSTANDING AS THESE EXAMPLES! 

THE DAVE BRUBECK QUARTET:

"AT CARNEGIE HALL PARTS 1 AND 2".

LIVE TRACKS RECORDED AND ISSUED 51 YEARS AGO IN 1963-ISSUED AND SOLD AS INDIVIDUAL ALBUMS BUT HARDLY ANYONE BOUGHT BOTH!  BOTH ARE UK PHILIPS PRESSED CBS "BOXED LOGOS"+"ROUGH TEXTURED"LABELS IN STEREO WHEN ALMOST EVERY COPY OF EACH LP SOLD WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MONO AND PLAYED A LOT! THESE COPIES ARE PROBABLY THE BEST EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD AS CLOSE TO MINT AS POSSIBLE FROM A MAJOR JAZZ COLLECTORS ARCHIVE-SEE BELOW DETAILS! 

THE VINYL IS BEAUTIFULLY THICK AND GLEAMS WITH NO SURFACE MARKS. HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR OR EVIDENCE OF MUCH PLAY! KNOWING THE SOURCE AND HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S SON,IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THESE COPIES WERE NOT PLAYED VERY MUCH AT ALL!  TRULY EXCEPTIONAL STUNNINGLY CLEAR SOUND QUALITY! BOTH ARE OUTSTANDING UPGRADER COPIES! THE STEREO MIXES HAVE A DEPTH AND WARMTH THAT IS OFTEN MISSING ON THE "BOXY MONO" MIXES.DESPITE BEING ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN JAZZ MUSICIANS,THESE LPs WERE NOT BIG SELLERS AND PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A YEAR OF ISSUE.

 STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION AS MINT SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST UNLESS THE DISC IS 100% SEALED!  EVEN SO  I PLAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO ENSURE ACURATE GRADING FOR CONFIDENT BIDDING! FANTASTIC WARM,RICH,SOLID MONO SOUND. PLENTY OF BASS! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES WITH THE "BRITISH AND OTHER PATENTS PENDING" CREDITS AND THE COVERS HAVING THE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDITS DENOTING SOME OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED FOR THESE LPs!

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVERS HAVE A SOME MINOR CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK OF THE COVERS BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS UNLIKE MOST COVERS OF THIS AGE!  BID WITH CONFIDENCE!  MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE OF THESE RECORDS ARE IN DREADFUL CONDITION AND NOT CLEARLY GRADED. JUST ONE OWNER FROM NEW,THE LATE PETER NEWBROOK WHO HAD A MASSIVE COLLECTION WITH MANY DUPLICATES SUCH AS USA/UK ISSUE VARIANTS, HENCE THIS STAGGERING AND MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.THOSE THAT DID HAVE PLAYS WERE ON TOP OF THE RANGE PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT AND CAREFULLY STORED WITH MOST OF HIS RECORDS ON STURDY SHELVING IN HIS TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED ARCHIVE-BARELY BEING PLAYED IN MANY YEARS!

PETER NEWBROOK WAS A JAZZ MUSICIAN,WRITER,RECORD REVIEWER ON JAZZ,A FILM DIRECTOR AND THE OWNER OF THE BRITISH JAZZ LABEL ESQUIRE WHICH ISSUED MANY BRITISH,AMERICAN AND CONTINENTAL RECORDINGS AND AS SUCH HAD MANY STRONG CONTACTS,KNEW MANY JAZZ MUSICIANS AND FRIENDS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS IN THE UK AND USA WHO WOULD SEND HIM EARLY ADVANCE COPIES OF RECORDS FOR HIS OPINIONS AND APPROVAL-THE MAJORITY ADDED TO HIS SHELVES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS IF THAT AS HE WAS A VERY BUSY MAN INDEED! I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY MOST OF HIS VAST COLLECTION SEVERAL YEARS BACK AS LONG TERM EBAYERS AND JAZZ COLLECTORS WILL RECALL.  NATURALLY AS A LONG TERM COLLECTOR AND JAZZ FAN MYSELF,I COULDN'T RESIST KEEPING SOME OF THEM BUT I AM PRUNING DOWN AGAIN WITH THE NEED FOR SPACE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THESE TOP QUALITY RARITIES WHICH MAY NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN AS GOOD AS THESE EXAMPLES!

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!!

DEALERS AND COLLECTORS TRAVEL FOR MANY MILES TO VISIT ME-MOST NOT EVEN ASKING TO EXAMINE MY RECORDS AS THEY TRUST MY VERY STRICT JUDGEMENT AND GRADINGS! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THESE LPs ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY  CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!How many were preserved like this set-??

HARDLY USED AND NOT SERIOUSLY ABUSED!!!!!!

The 1960s equipment was often basic with much heavier tonearms than later lightweight pickups.

They have clearly been very well cared for on lightweight  high quality equipment.  

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear JAZZ and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

IT IS STILL FAR BETTER THAN MOST AROUND! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISCS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.  

THE LPs AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING VERY STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY ALL OF THE PHOTOS!
