Lee Wiley Sings Rodgers & Hart (10 inch)

LP (Item 707577) Storyville, 1955 — Condition: Very Good-
A warmly crafted vocal session from Lee Wiley – very spare, with a no-nonsense approach that makes the record one of her best of the 50s. The backing group's a quartet led by pianist Jimmy Jones, and it also includes Ruby Braff on trumpet, who gives the tracks a moody sound that works very well with Lee's vocals. The tunes are all Rodgers & Hart compositions – and titles include "Give It Back To The Indians", "Glad To Be Unhappy", "You Took Advantage Of Me", and "My Funny Valentine".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good - (minus)

  • Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
  • Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
  • This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
  • Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.

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.
