🌟 About This Definitive Audiophile Pressing
This is not a standard reissue. This copy belongs to the legendary 1983 Toshiba-EMI "Original Master/RVG Cutting" campaign, widely considered to be the definitive modern pressing of Bud Powell’s 1951–1953 trio sessions.
  • The Ultimate Tube-Cut Mono Sound: As proudly stated on the rare round hype sticker, Toshiba tracked down a vintage Westrex 3D-II AH cutter head and a 1950s tube amplifier to perfectly replicate Rudy Van Gelder's original, punchy 1955 mono mix.
  • No OBI Needed: This specific, premium series was issued explicitly without a paper OBI strip. Instead, it featured the round HYPE sticker on the shrink wrap, making this copy 100% complete as originally distributed.
  • Impeccable Preservation: I acquired this record from the estate of a Japanese collector.  Because it has been protected by the original factory shrink wrap for over 40 years, the jacket is pristine and shielded from the typical ring wear, edge wear, and other issues common to vintage records.

  • Features: Vintage 33 rpm, clean label, original pressing, includes new poly-lined sleeve.
  • Packaging: Ships in 1 business day via USPS Media Mail in a new LP box with cardboard stiffeners and paper fill. Combined shipping available for multiple records.
  • Returns: 30-day, free returns.
