ELMO HOPE Informal Jazz (Very rare 1956 UK 4-track flat edge deep groove mono LP recorded May the 7th that year and also starring Donald Byrd Hank Mobley John Coltrane Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones housed in a unique laminated flipbacksleeve with superb Ralph Steadman artwork only found with this rare Esquire issue. The sleeve has come from a typical smokey jazz environment and as such is a little discoloured and has a tape reinforced edge. The heavyweight vinyl has been professionally cleaned and has come up looking sparkling with just a few light scuffs to show for its age - a very respectable copy!)
