Good Time Blues

CD (Item 511061) Pablo, 1970 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
A burner from Basie – previously unissued live material recorded in Hungary in 1970 – very tight, short, and soulful tunes – all following strongly off the Count's best energy of the 60s! The players here are still a relatively classic lineup – Harry Edison on trumpet, Grover Mitchell on trombone, Bobby Plater on alto and flute, Eric Dixon on tenor and flute, Eddie Lockjaw Davis on tenor, Cecil Payne on baritone, and Freddie Green on guitar – providing that amazing rhythmic groove that always made his work with Basie so great! Mary Stallings sings on a few numbers, and titles include "Cute", "Hittin Twelve", "Summertime", "Four Or Five Times", "Magic Flea", and "The Party's Over".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
