Count Basie – The Atomic Mr. Basie (R-52003)
$50.00
Count Basie’s The Atomic Mr. Basie (also known as Atomic Basie) is a Roulette Records LP, catalog R-52003, graded VG+.
Count Basie’s orchestra delivers a tightly swinging program of Neal Hefti arrangements on one of the bandleader’s most celebrated big-band albums. Pieces such as “The Kid from Red Bank” show how the band could move from spare piano figures into full-brass impact without losing its rhythmic snap. The owner identifies this VG+ copy as pressed on December 24, 1957, described as the album’s first day of pressing, a potentially notable detail for a collector that has not been independently verified here.
