“JAZZ ULTIMATE”

 

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! MEGARARE and Hard-To-Find original CAPITOL Records very first High Fidelity Long Playing Microgroove MONO press, released in Chile in 1958 by Capitol Records, made and distributed by Industrias Eléctricas Y Musicales Odeon S.A. (Odeon Records Chile), licensed from Capitol Records Inc., USA, catalog number T-933, with machine etched matrix numbers -T1-933-N1 1S (“1S” inverted) in Side 1 and –T2-933-N12 1S (“1S” inverted) in Side 2, with traditional bright red/silver Capitol Records labels of the period with big Capitol Records logo at top. Yes Sirs, ANOTHER FIND from Chile!!!

“JAZZ ULTIMATE” was originally released early 1958 in USA and we didn’t have to wait much, because after some months this album was released here in Chile and like usual in the period, we got it with an UNIQUE COVER, made of a a single piece of hard cardboard folded in the middle, with sheets of paper fully attached to the cardboards, but with flaps of front cover pasted on the cardboard of back cover and then the sheet of paper of back cover pasted on the cardboard and over the flaps of front cover. Front cover keeps strictly the original artwork of original US Capitol Records issue, with album title written in English only and Capitol Records logo at top right corner. Back cover also keeps the original US design, with the differences that in Chile the album title and tracklist are written in English, translated to Spanish, with liner notes written in Spanish only, with the album title in red color and names of Bobby Hackett and Jack Teagarden in blue color. As you could have already noticed, here in Chile they decided to use the same US catalog number. In labels, the album and song titles are written in English only, with full credits for songwriters and additional information about licenses and tax law applicable in Chile, with original cash price, “$ 5.775”, printed in Side 1. It’s interesting to notice an error, the last song of the album is “'S Wonderful”, but in Chile in both back cover and label, it’s misspelled “It’s Wonderful”. So, here you have the chance to get and own this so classic album in the world of jazz in this MEGARARE VERY FIRST CHILEAN PRESS, with UNIQUE COVER, with Spanish-written song titles and UNIQUE ERROR, a record almost never seen and maybe auctioned here in eBay by the very first time. A MUST TO HAVE for all fans, lovers and collectors of Jazz/Dixieland music of the ‘50’s and especially for all fans, lovers and collectors of Bobby Hacket, Jack Teagarden and the musicians who participated in this recording, Billy Bauer, guitar, Buzzy Drootin, drums, Ernie Caceres, baritone sax, Gene Schroeder, piano, Jack Lesberg, bass and Peanuts Hucko, clarinet and tenor sax!!!

The cover was already described and it’s in great VG or even VG+ condition, with moderate wear in all edges, more evident in the mouth edge and corners, with evident age browning and faint blemishes in back cover, with moderate wear in front cover and evident ring marks, with tape at top and bottom edges which some past owner used to “hide” the seam splits, but as you can see it’s complete and without marks of any kind, only a sight crease at bottom left corner. The record is in EX or EX+ condition both sides, glossy and clean, with some light scuffs and hairlines, and very soft small scratches, mostly hard to see at first sight, which don’t affect play at all. Labels on both sides are in great NM- or NM condition, clean and clear, with only minimal spindle hole wear. The sound is in strong EX- or EX condition both sides, loud, clear and clean, virtually no background noise (surface noise is normal in records from Chile), with constant very light crackles and some occasional soft clicks here and there, which don’t cause major distraction from the loud and clear sound this record keeps from the beginning to the end. Overall, this is a great record in this MEGARARE VERY FIRST CHILEAN PRESS, with Spanish-written song titles and UNIQUE ERROR, maybe not for the strictest Minty minds or audiophile, but for sure with a complete cover, free of marks, and with a record with still a very nice glossy look, almost immaculate labels and great sound quality after about 67 years, which shouldn’t disappoint anyone and should satisfy any serious collector who knows the real level of rarity of this Chilean press!!! Yes, Sirs, what a FIND!!! Click on the pictures to enlarge and see the labels and cover in detail. WOW!!!

Bid with confidence and don’t wait until the last second because you could lose the chance to get a real collectable record from Chile (South America) in superb condition like this copy is. You know South American records aren’t easy to get in good conditions, so HAPPY BIDDING and don’t let this record to go away… you could never see a so good copy of this record again… if you are lucky enough to see even another copy again…

Thanks for watching and bidding, good luck and best regards from Chile

 

______________________________________

 

We don’t use the generic “VG” most of South American sellers use to hide poor quality conditions or “NM” or “Mint” for records which aren’t even clean and sound less than a normal “VG” in professional standards. We use the Record Collector’s Grading System with a little modification: we don’t use MINT grade but for Sealed records and we can use a + or – to show a most professional accurate description.

 

MINT (M): I only use this grade for Sealed records.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in like new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality (only some very very very light hairlines caused for the record rubbing the sleeve). The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in like perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality, maybe some surface marks which doesn’t affect play. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

 

PAYMENT

Payment must be received within the first 5 (five) days after the auction is ended.

We have an unique value worldwide (except USA, see details below):

GBP20 for weight until 0,5kg (usually 1 or 2 records 12" depending on thickness of the vinyl/sleeve)

Important Update (September 2025)

Due to new restrictions imposed by the USA on parcel services worldwide, Correos Chile has suspended package shipments to the USA. Now, my only option for sending a package from Chile to the USA is the private FedEx service, through Correos Chile. The shipping cost for records is as follows:

GBP55 for weight until 0,5kg

GBP70 for weight 0,5-1kg

I know it’s not a minor difference, but I can’t do anything. So, if you buy any of my records and shipping is to the USA, PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE WITH THE CORRECT VALUE informed.

All records will be packed outside of the sleeve to avoid damages in the cover and all records will be sent with tracking number via Small Packet or Parcel Post services.

FEEDBACK

We don’t have anything to hide and we know the buyers expect to receive feedback after to pay for the items they win. Most of sellers say to give feedback when buyers leave feedback first. But we know that’s not fair for buyers. So, we leave feedback immediately after to receive the payment, because we understand that’s the part that buyers must receive feedback for. And we expect to receive positive feedback from buyers who receive the records immediately after they have got the records.

 

IMPORTANT TO READ

  • We are not responsible for all the taxes, duties, fees you could have to pay in your country, but I always declare the records as gift.
  • The records for sale are used and if you know about records then you will already know that they behave differently on different turntables, therefore there is NO GUARANTEE on them, but I do my best to grade them as accurately as possible and every flaw I listen on my turntable it's informed in description.
  • NO RETURNS ACCEPTED.
  • We are not responsible for the damages in transit, when the parcel is given to the postal service, then the care of the parcel and delivery time is out of my control.
  • NO REFUNDS ACCEPTED.
  • IF YOU BUY THIS RECORD, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE CONDITIONS, SO WE HOPE AND TRUST YOU WILL BE SERIOUS AND HONOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF THESE CONDITIONS. 

IMPORTANT UPDATE (September 2024) 

Because the UK’s tax authority, Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC), requires eBay collect VAT information from sellers with UK customers, I’ve been informed that I need to have a “valid UK VAT number on file” to sell to UK customers. As I live in Chile and all my items are shipped from Chile, I don’t have an “UK VAT number”, so I’m sorry to inform that I’M FORCED TO EXCLUDE THE UK FROM MY WORLDWIDE SHIPPING POLICY. If you live in the UK and you’d like to bid/buy some of my records, please contact me, I’m sure we could find some solution.

If you have some doubt or question, feel free to contact us, we will be glad to answer all that you want to know about this item.
