Title: Blue Lights, Volume 1

Catalog Number: Blue Note 1596

Here we have a real grail record! A first edition mono copy fo Kenny Burrell’s Blue Lights, Volume I with a beautiful Andy Warhol illustration on the cover! This is the first edition with the 47 West 63rd address on both sides of the label, and the matrix etching are as follows: Side A: “RVG [ear symbol] BN-LP-1596-A 9M” Side B: " RVG [ear symbol] BN-LP-1596-B 9M” If you need any other information to verify the pressing information please send us a message, otherwise read more information on the condition below.

jacket: VG/G+ (the jacket’s biggest flaw is the presence of five address stamps on the back cover… these are clearly visible in the photo of the back cover; otherwise, the jacket has a very small 1” seam split on the bottom edge (top edge is fully intact), a bit of chipping around the edges, some discoloration from age on the white back panel, and some very slight bubbling in the laminate on the front cover)

vinyl: VG+ (I’d put this as a very strong VG+ both visually and as its play grade; while the vinyl is not as shiny as it once was, the surface is clean and only has a few light marks; there is a tiny bit of crackle at the beginning of each side, but it’s barely evident once the music starts; you might hear the odd pop from dust that has settled in the grooves, but none of the light marks appear to affect play)

Please check our other listings for THOUSANDS of other vinyl records of all genres, both auction-style and fixed-price listings. We are happy to combine shipping!

International buyers: we have VERY low international rates through DHL; up to 1/3 the price of USPS!
