Some words on this issue: THE RIC COLBECK QUARTET: “The Sun Is Coming Up” (Fontana – 6383.001) (Record: Near Mint ~ Mint/ Laminated Jacket: Near Mint). Bloody rare 1970 UK free jazz beast. TOP condition. This beast just never surfaces and is all-killer from start to finish. “Issued in the UK only in 1970. Ric was an interesting white cat who came to the U.S. to blow some free e-motion with NYC loft dwellers.
 He’s most well known for his amazing playing on the great Noah Howard’s first ESP-Disk release (ESP 1031). The whole 1000 series of
ESP is critical & crucial to anybody wanting to explore this era of Free Jazz. The picture of Ric on the Noah Howard LP shows a man with racecar shades and a “cool” haircut playing his horn while a ciggie burns nonchalantly from his relaxed grip. A very hip dude. And very FREE. His only solo recording is this Fontana LP, which he recorded while cruising through Europe. He connected with South African drummer Selwyn Lissack (whatever happened to…) and the UK’s famous
avant-altoist Mike Osborne and bassist J.F. ‘Jenny’ Clark (student of
20th century compositionists Lucian Berio and Karlheinz Stockhausen)
to create this exceptional and complex masterpiece.” (Thurston Moore). This Ric Colbeck record just never surfaces, making it one of the hardest to track down UK jazz pieces. Original 1970 press, in Near MINT condition, they just don’t come better than this one. Music is also ace, Colbeck definitely was one of the hardest blowing trumpet players, he is on fire all over this one. Archival TOP condition, simply perfect.

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

 

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
