Out of my personal collection, changing tastes and a new baby…

 

Outstanding, original, first Australian pressing and rightly in-demand avant-jazz outing from the venerable Brian Brown Quintet. Incorporating aspects of driving modal, free-jazz, spoken word and spiritual jazz this set was a landmark and stands as one of the finest documents of antipodean soul jazz, if not the finest. Including other local heavyweights such as Ted Vining and Bob Sedergreen, they hit a rare groove to create an atmospheric gem than any jazz collector must have! Superb gatefold cover art, legendary 44 Records label, and amazing jazz in great shape! 

 

Cover – EX – front graphics shine, light wear only in small places, seams solid, some very minor corner dings, very well cared for Vinyl – conservative VG  + - has been played but very well cared for, still a nice sheen and gloss to the wax, dusting of minute hairlines evident under strong light as well as several more notable scratches but these are also very fine, and entirely superficial – occasional gentle pop and distant background crackle in parts don’t detract from the music at all.

 

Hassle free returns and money back, if you are unhappy in any way please email me, I’m an avid collector I try my best to list accurately, play graded and graded under strong light, cheers!

 

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

NM: Played a handful of times, several of the faintest hairlines only, perfect sound, full gloss and sheen, cover near new in every way.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, tiniest dusting of superficial hairlines only, playback near perfect. The cover and packaging might have very slight wear/most minor cosmetic wear only. 

VERY GOOD+: Perfectly acceptable, plays with no skips or jumps, no feelable marks, hairlines, and other superficial scratches may be evident on the vinyl but sound quality and fidelity still excellent, may have the odd pop and crackle only. Cover will have normal wear, seams and corners in tact, some age deterioration.

VERY GOOD:The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch, some may be feelable but will not sound in repeat-tic manner. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable, may have minor seam or other tears but still acceptable integrity.

GOOD:The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and feelable scratches that may tic or jump. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR:The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, jump etc. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced. Collector piece only.
