ERROLL GARNER Penthouse Serenade (1958 UK release of the 1955
14-track LP featuring tracks recorded by Savoy in Los Angeles in 1949
& New York in 1945, front laminated scalloped flipback picture sleeve
with the original record store writing of the first purchaser's name &
the price of £1-15-9½ on the back (That's one pound, fifteen shillings
and ninepence ha'penny, when the average weekly wage was about £6
- quite an investment). The flimsy sleeve shows a little bending of the
flipbacks & some laminate lift, but is otherwise holding up remarkably
well after fifty years with only very light shelfwear, mostly on the
unlaminated back. The vinyl too shows just a few light cosmetic
surface marks for all its years in the wild. A nice copy at a nice price!
