BOOKER ERVIN Exultation! (1963 US first press 6-track deep groove mono LP, on the black & yellow 'fireworks' label with Bergenfield address & 'Van Gelder' machine stamped in the run-offs, also starring Frank Strozier, Horace Parlan, Butch Warren & Walter Perkins, pasted picture sleeve. The cover [VG] has seam splits in the far reaching corners but otherwise the panels are nice & clean, with just a little ring wear, & all text is legible including along the spine. The vinyl grades VG- with spindle marks on the labels & some paper hairlines & scuffs, but playback reveals no great loss in fidelity on a mono setting & the wax is nice & clean. By no means mint, this is a nice & serviceable first press at a very attractive price PRLP7293)
