Art Blakey Quintet – A Night At Birdland, Volume 1 (LP, Mono, RP, Cro) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Location: WAREHOUSE PRICEY

Cover has some shelf wear/creasing and very small (~1/2 inch) splits beginning at opening of top/bottom seam. There is also a small bit of writing in blue pen next to two of the tracks on the back cover – ask for photos. Runouts have RVG and 9M but no Plastilyte “P” or “ear.” Labels have Blue Note Records Inc. New York USA address on both sides.

Notes:

Recorded live on February 21, 1954.

Label side 1: “BLUE NOTE RECORDS INC – 47 WEST 63rd – NYC” (® on bottom) (in use from 1959 to 1962)
Label side 2: “BLUE NOTE RECORDS INC – NEW YORK USA” (® on bottom) (in use from 1962 to 1966)

Runouts don’t contain “Plastylite Ear”.

Exact release date is quite unclear:
– Because of the two different labels it seems to be 1962, but in this period [l328679] still pressed Blue Note records and the “Plastylite Ear” is missing in the runouts.
– Some copies come with a “1939-1966 27 YEARS BLUE NOTE” inner sleeve. From 1966 on [l328679] didn’t press for Blue Note anymore, so the missing “Plastylite Ear” in the runouts correlates with this fact.
