Vinyl: WAYNE SHORTER speak no evil MONO ear orig BLUE NOTE freddie hubbard

Super rare first mono pressing of this jazz masterpiece by Wayne Shorter entitled "Speak no evil"; features "ear" and van gelder in deadwax! Cover has some light wear and I took multiple pics highlighting all the minor issues. Overall its a great looking sleeve in solid condition. Vinyl is also quite visually clean with just a few very light small marks and scuffs under bright light. Playback is great with zero groove wear or distortion...during my entire playgrade I heard just a few small faint tics. That said please note the following - during Wayne's solo on the first track on side one there is an audible swoosh/cracking noise that occurs for 6-7 revolutions and is never heard again. This is a known problem with this mono pressing and the same flaw is on my other copy and on the copies of people I know that have it. Its not that bad and only occurs about 6-7 revolutions and then disappears entirely. Other then that this is a tremendously powerful sounding mono copy!

North Americans add $17 for tracked shipping; overseas add $55 for tracked shipping. Sorry for high rates but this is exactly what Canada Post charges and I will not ship without a tracking number.
