Ray Bryant / Ray Bryant Plays
Japan Rare LP


Signature K26P 6408 ( MONO )

Appendices: "Green OBI” & “Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese copy ( released in 1986 ) of his original album, coming with complete appendices. Insert is with “Japanese liner notes” & “Photo of front cover”.

Cover and label of disc are printed with “SM 6008” as US copy, though label’s rim reads as “MANUFACTURED BY KING RECORD TOKYO JAPAN” ( See photo ). And the cover shows “printed in U.S.A.” on its back side. It seems that this Japanese edition uses imported US cover with Japan press disc, obi & insert added. Anyway, it’s hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.

Bass – Tommy Bryant
Drums – Oliver Jackson
Piano – Ray Bryant

COVER: Cover is stained with some brown spots on the surface of back side ( mainly in the left top corner…See photo ). Some minor spots are also on the spine-edge and top-rim of front side. Left bottom corner is creased short. Otherwise no any tear, edge-wear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A short light scratch is at the start of Side A-1 ( inaudible ). Otherwise it has none of any scuff, hairline & spindle-mark on each label, which is to be rated as "EX". No flaw on the groove of Side B and mostly on Side A. It’s clean copy and plays fine on each side.
