HANK MOBLEY Workout (1963 US transitional issue of the 1961 5-track mono LP, with the 'West 63rd' address printed on side one & 'New York USA' on side two. 'RVG' is stamped in the run-out & there is the Plastylite 'ear' etching in both run-offs. Also stars Grant Green, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers & Philly Joe Jones. The picture sleeve is heavyweight, pasted & front laminated, with the 'West 61st' address on the back along with two tax import stickers. The cover grades Excellent with no seam splits or writing [two tiny rating stickers are in the top right corner on the back] & noice clean panels. The vinyl has been professionally cleaned & play tested & sounds crisp & sharp with no distortion [you really can't go wrong with Hank!]. We have carefully graded the vinyl VG/VG- as there is a small scratch at the end of 'The Best Things In Life Are Free' into 'Greasin' Easy' causing a few light clicks on rotation with no jumps. There is otherwise just minor paper hairlines scuffs either side & none of these blemishes have any real impact on play - the quality of these early Blue Note pressings really do shine through loud & proud. Give your hi-fi a Mobley workout! BLP4080)
