This week I am offering a treasure trove: I found a small pile of unused Esquires, and sorted through them with a bright light to identify the best condition ones, lacking storage damage, and any spindle marks of being played by customers in the shop. No marks to playing surfaces or labels. These are the ones that are like they came out of the factory 60 years ago. Some of these are changing hands for healthy three figures, and if you have a sleeve with a worn one in, you have hit the jackpot.

One of four similar relists from a non paying bidder. Only bid if you can afford to buy!

A US copy of this goes for hundreds in good condition, and none will ever sound this good if you have a decent enough mono cart to hear it properly.

Pristine vinyl 1957 Unplayed new Old Stock Hal McKusick Triple Exposure. Includes Beautiful soloing from the leader on tenor alto and clarinet, plus Billy Byers on muted trombone, Eddie Costa at the piano and Paul Chambers on top form also. A very fine lp, mine gets plenty of plays. Esquire 32-073 UK 1st Press with RVG hand etched which means a pre 1959 US mother sent over by prestige, and pressed on better vinyl over here. I have this myself, a killer album, with way out instrumentation and good old fantastic soloing as well.

When we post this to you, we pack in hard card custom made new boxes.
