Gil Melle Quintet Volume 2 10 original BLUE NOTE BLP 5033 with Urbie Green # 93

  

Jacket is VG+ with a nice, semi-glossy front laminate, with only a few tiny bits of shelf-wear and some small dings in the upper right corner, and some tiny dings / wear / impression marks in front of Gil's nose on the front cover photo, see our photos. The spine and seams are intact (NO seam-splitting). Top seam has almost no wear at all, except for the corners. Spine and bottom edge have minor wear mainly near the corners.

The corner points are worn a bit. No signs of water damage on either side, but the environment. May have been humid, so the rear slick is starting to unglue at the edges, and is, of course, yellowing at the edges too. The upper right, top edge of the rear slick with the detailed. Liner notes hasa small rip that does not affect the text or detailed liner notes by Barry Ulanov, Not bad for an almost 70 year old original pressing!

The dead-wax on both sides has the stamped Plastylite (pressing plant). "Ear" logo, and etched matrix numbers that are just longer versions. 9 and M are also etched "sideways" in the dead-wax on both sides. NO stickers, NO stains, NO corner cutting or notch or drill hole.

A1: Timepiece : Light surface crackley hiss only audible at beginning / intro and during a quiet portion. No loud clicks or pops.

A2: Lover Man : Light to moderate surface crackly hiss audible during the entire tune, which is "mellow", and has a lot of "space". No loud clicks or pops, BUT there are a few sets (or "series") of audible clicks halfway through the tune. A3: Gingersnap : light to moderate surface crackley hiss audible during the entire tune. B1: A Lion Lives Here : light to moderate surface crackley hiss audible during the entire tune. B2: Spellbound : light to moderate surface crackley hiss audible during the entire tune. Some audible clicks starting halfway through the song. B3: Transition : light to moderate surface crackley hiss audible during most of the tune, but it's not really noticeable from the beginning of the drum solo till the end of the tune.
