Dmitry Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 Young Men From Memphis - Down Home Reunion Original Mono deep groove white label promo, United Artists UAL 4029, recorded in late 1958 or early 1959. Cover - upper seam split the length, couple of lines of text discreetly highligted in yellow marker on the back, otherwise clear. Let's call it VG, to be strict. Record - clean labels, minor surface noise here and there, 3 or 4 clicks on each side. Therefore VG(+). Cleaned on my record cleaning machine. Interesting thing about this LP is that stereo and mono versions have different takes [side B, I believe, but I welcome corrections]. Stereo version came out on a Japanese cd[i've never seen it], mono will probably never be reissued. Booker Little, Louis Smith (tp) Frank Strozier (as) George Coleman (ts) Phineas Newborn Jr. (p) [my main man!] Calvin Newborn (g) George Joyner (bass) Charles Crosby (d) A1 Things Ain't What They Used to Be A2 Blue 'n' Boogie B1 After Hours B2 Star Eyes Not to tout my own horn here, but as collectors know it's one rare LP. Music is wonderful, superb, outstanding, take it from me. Obviously all musicians hail from Memphis... $40 + $3 insured shipping. Check or paypal[bank draft only]. Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 I guess I need to check my copy to see if its mono or not ... Quote
brownie Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 I have the Japanese UA stereo LP copy. Tunes length are: Things Ain't What They Used to Be 10:45 Blue 'N Boogie 8:10 After Hours 8:25 Star Eyes 10:25 Any differences? Great (and very rare) album in its original release! Quote
Dmitry Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Posted July 19, 2004 Brownie, good call on the possible differences in track lengths! I'm at work now, but I will post the playing times on my Mono copy when I get home. Quote
Alfred Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 I have the original STEREO release from 1959. I'll never ever sell this gem! Tunes length are: Things Ain't What They Used to Be 10:40 Blue 'N Boogie 8:08 After Hours 8:15 Star Eyes 10:20 Quote
Dmitry Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Posted August 16, 2004 Up for more exposure before I put it up on eBay. Surprised it gathered no bites. I thought it'd be gone pronto. Quote
jazzhound Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 is it vg or vg+? any feelable scratches? A near mint stereo original went for 35 on EBAY so maybe your price is a little high. Quote
