Starring Al Hibbler

LP (Item 697327) Decca, Mid 50s — Condition: Very Good+
...

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

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.

Carmen McRae

By Special Request
Decca, 1955. Very Good
A cool session for Decca that has Carmen McRae's vocals flowing out wonderfully amidst some very haunting backings! The sound here is a bit unusual – given that the groups are headed by accordion Mat Mathews and pianist Dick Katz – both of whom have a good ear for unusual phrasing, and ... LP, Vinyl record album
Decca, 1950. Very Good
(Cover has light wear, tiny peel from sticker removal.) LP, Vinyl record album
Decca, 1957. Very Good
Something of a concept album from Jeri Southern – a record of familiar tunes, but all strung together as "the story of a love affair", and set to backings by Gus Levene! The approach here is a bit like some of the Sinatra Capitol sides of the mid 50s – with a really unified ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nat King Cole

In The Beginning
Decca, 1940/1941. Very Good+
Early sides by Nat King Cole, recorded in the pre-Capitol years – and done in a mixture of vocal and instrumental modes, with trio backing that featured Oscar Moore on guitar and Wesley Prince on bass. The tunes are still very much solid early Nat at his best – a lightly blended mix of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Midas Touch

Midas Touch
Decca, Late 60s. Near Mint-
A lovely vocal chorus album, with kind of a mix of Sunshine Pop and easy modes – all set to arrangements by Al Ham! Titles include "Quentin's Theme", "Jean", "Sweet Caroline", "Yesterday When I Was Young", "My Cherie Amour", "Everybody's ... LP, Vinyl record album

Les Humphries Singers

We'll Fly You To The Promised Land
Decca (Germany), 1971. Near Mint-
(Original German pressing. Cover has light ringwear, some yellowing from age and some spotty blemishes, bent corners, and some gloss separation around the edges in back.) LP, Vinyl record album

Earl Grant

Magic Of Earl Grant
Decca, Early 60s. Near Mint-
(Mono pressing with deep groove.) LP, Vinyl record album

Sammy Davis Jr

Mr Entertainment
Decca, 1961. Near Mint-
(Spectrum label stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear, some aging, and check marks in pen in back.) LP, Vinyl record album

Ella Fitzgerald

Stairway To The Stars
Decca, Late 30s. Near Mint-
(Spectrum label stereo pressing. Cover has a cutout hole.) LP, Vinyl record album
Decca, Mid 50s. Very Good+
Pretty darn cool stuff from one of the greatest jazz singers around! This one was Mark's first album, cut a long time ago when he was a wee lad – as you'll see by the photo on the cover. The arrangements are by Ralph Burns, and they're pretty darn hip – and although the style is more ... LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Williams

Joe Williams Live
Fantasy, 1973. Very Good+
One of the nice records made by Joe during his funky comeback of the late 60s/early 70s. He's singing here in a setting that's decidedly hipper than on earlier albums – with the early 70s Nat/Cannonball Adderley collective that includes George Duke on piano, Carol Kaye on bass, and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Etta Jones

My Mother's Eyes
Muse, 1977. Very Good+
A nice back to basics session from jazz singer Etta Jones – recorded with backing by a small combo that includes Houston Person on tenor – and done in the laidback style that always seems to bring out the best in her singing. Other players include Idris Muhammad, Jimmy Ponder, and ... LP, Vinyl record album
