About this copy: This copy of Two of a Mind is a 1963 pressing on the Victor label.
The cover is M-. The nearly-always-missing obi is VG++. with slight foxing, but no tears. There is no insert; we believe the album was issued without one.
The mono disc is M- and may be unplayed. Beautiful disc!
An extraordinary copy of an album that rarely turns up as a complete first pressing.
Background: Released in 1962, Two of a Mind was the third and final collaboration between Paul Desmond and Gerry Mulligan.
Allmusic.com gave Two of a Mind a 4 1/2 star review:
Altoist Paul Desmond and baritonist Gerry Mulligan always made for a perfect team during their infrequent collaborations. Both of the saxophonists had immediately distinctive light tones, strong wits, and the ability to improvise melodically. Here the two masterful reed players are featured in pianoless quartets that also include Wendell Marshall, Joe Benjamin or John Beal on bass, and Connie Kay or Mel Lewis on drums.
