MEL LEWIS & FRIENDS-1st Pressing A&M Horizon 1977-FREDDIE HUBBARD-VG+/NM-/NM lp!

Description: Hi! You're looking at a very good condition vinyl LP which is a FIRST PRESSING of a 1977 Jazz recording by drummer MEL LEWIS titled "Mel Lewis and Friends"--the recording features supervision by Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band co-leader (and composer of three songs on the album) THAD JONES and FREDDIE HUBBARD and CECIL BRIDGEWATER on trumpet, MICHAEL BRECKER on tenor saxophone, GREGORY HERBERT on alto saxophone, HANK JONES on piano, and RON CARTER on bass. The LP is a Horizon / A & M Records issue with the serial number Horizon 17 / A&M SP-716, a 1st PRESSING and a Stereo pressing made in the United States in 1977. This LP is in great overall condition and the vinyl is in VG+ condition on side one with a mark at the beginning of side one which can be felt and may produce some light pops for about a minute at the beginning of the track, several moderate scuffs and some light paper scuffs that may possibly produce a few light and scattered pops and perhaps light intermittent background noise and in NEAR MINT- condition on side two with some light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play; the duo-pak gatefold cover is in NEAR MINT condition with just very light shelfwear and NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout! The ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE advertising A & M Records jazz releases is also included and in beautiful shape.
