ART BLAKEY AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS - DRUM SUITE

PHILIPS LABEL 1957 RARE TEST PRESSING WITH FRONT LAMINATED FLIP BACK SINGLE SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

BBL 7196

Released in 1957 on the PHILIPS label, I am offering today this original UK WHITE LABEL TEST PRESSING of this classic 1957 jazz album by ART BLAKEY AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS titled "DRUM SUITE" and apart from the odd light mark is in excellent condition.

The album comes complete with its original front laminated flip back single sleeve which is very good, reasonably clean with no stickers or splits etc but shows some laminate loss and laminate lifting and has a number written on the back panel but overall still very respectable.

The VINYL, The Vinyl visually looks very clean & audibly is in excellent condition. I have just played it through and can state that it plays with absolutely no nasty sticks or skips etc but a little noise on the run offs. 

The SLEEVE, The front laminated single sleeve is in very good condition. There is no splits or stickers etc but shows some laminate loss and lifting and has a number written on the back panel.  

The LABELS, The test press labels are clean but have the track names written in pen. Needless to say they are free from unwanted writing or stickers etc.

The INNER, The generic white inner has edge splits and shows ring wear.

I try to be accurate in my grading as I know what its like to buy miss graded items but won't insult you by writing song lyrics etc. If you feel I have not described this correctly I am happy to refund you providing I receive the item back in the same condition as it leaves me, But I can only refund one lot of postage, 
 

THIS RECORD WAS PLAY TESTED ON A LINN AXIS THROUGH A MUSIC FIDELITY AMP
