THE JAZZ COURIERS The Couriers Of Jazz! (Rare 1960 UK 8-track deep groove mono LP, featuring the two frontline tenors of Ronnie Scott & Tubby Hayes recorded for Carlton in New York & backed by Terry Shannon [piano], Jeff Clyne [bass] & Bill Eyden [drums]. Includes three Tubbs originals; 'Mirage', 'After Tea' & 'The Monk', the latter a quirky tribute to Thelonious. The picture sleeve is front laminated with scalloped flipbacks & grades VG. There is a 2" split in the back opening aswellas the odd split in the front & bottom right corner, understandable with age considering the cover was manufactured from flimsy stock like all London LPs. There is otherwise just some ring wear & natural age yellowing with all print clearly legible. The heavyweight vinyl is a high quality British pressing & grades a healthy VG+/EX- with a deep sheen both sides, a few minor spindle marks & the odd light paper hairline not affecting play. This is a nice surviving copy, carefully stored with card backing & a great piece of British Jazz history LTZ-L15188)
