HERBIE NICHOLS TRIO – BLUE NOTE BLP 1519 – FIRST PRESSING – LEXINGTON – RVG – PLASTYLITE EAR
Artist: Herbie Nichols Trio
Title: Herbie Nichols Trio
Label: Blue Note Records
Catalogue Number: BLP 1519
Format: 12” LP, Mono
Country: USA
Year: 1956
An exceptionally rare and highly desirable original first pressing of the legendary Herbie Nichols Trio on Blue Note Records.
This copy exhibits all of the key first-pressing characteristics sought after by serious Blue Note collectors:
* Original Lexington Avenue labels
* Deep Groove on both labels
* Hand-etched RVG in the dead wax
* Plastylite “Ear” (P) present
* Original matrix numbers BN 1519 A / BN 1519 B
* Original Lexington Avenue cover
* Original Reid Miles cover design
Herbie Nichols is widely regarded as one of the most original and underappreciated pianists and composers in modern jazz. Herbie Nichols Trio (BLP 1519) is among the most important titles in the Blue Note 1500 series and remains one of the label’s most sought-after albums.
Condition
Record: VG+ (Visual Grade)
The vinyl retains strong original gloss and presents very well. Light hairlines and superficial sleeve marks are visible under strong light. No significant feelable scratches observed. Labels remain clean and attractive.
Cover: VG
Original cover with general age-related wear, corner wear, light creasing and moderate discoloration consistent with age. Seams remain intact. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
Historical Importance
Recorded in 1955 and released in 1956, this album captures the unique genius of Herbie Nichols, accompanied by Teddy Kotick on bass and Max Roach on drums. Nichols’ highly individual approach to harmony and composition has earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative voices in post-war jazz.
Collector’s Note
Original first pressings of Blue Note BLP 1519 with Lexington labels, Deep Groove, RVG and Plastylite Ear are increasingly scarce and highly sought after worldwide. Copies with complete original first-pressing characteristics rarely appear on the market.
A superb opportunity to acquire one of the cornerstone albums of the Blue Note 1500 series.
The record will be professionally packed with the vinyl removed from the cover to prevent seam splits during shipping.
