My version has that small Clef sticker as shown. The covers have some edge and ring wear, vinyl is VG+... I believe all tracks here were initially released on 78s. Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken... If you can do without the David Stone Martin artwork, the later Verve pressings from the 50s sound way better than the Clef pressing. Absolutely classic Bud Powell, no matter what!

My version sports the tiny Clef logo sticker as shown. The covers show some edge and ring wear, while the vinyl is in VG+ condition... I believe all tracks were initially dropped on 78s. Feel free to correct me if I'm off... If you can do without the David Stone Martin artwork, the later Verve reissues from the 50s offer superior sound quality compared to the Clef pressing. Absolutely classic Bud Powell, regardless!

My version has that small Clef sticker as shown. The covers have some edge and ring wear, vinyl is VG+... I believe all tracks were initially dropped on 78s. Feel free to correct me if I'm off... If you can skip the David Stone Martin artwork, the later Verve pressings from the 50s sound way better than this Clef pressing. Absolutely classic Bud Powell, regardless!
