Wayne Shorter Speak No Evil OG Mono NY Ear BLP 4194 Herbie Hancock

Vinyl – G+/G+

Cover – G+

Matrix: 

Side 1: BN 4194-A Van Gelder P (aka ear)

Side 2: BN 4194-B Van Gelder P (aka ear)

Visual Grade: Several feelable scratches. Lots of scuff marks and hairlines. 

Play Grade: Plays through with consistent background noise of crackles/pops that are generally softer than the music throughout. No skips or jumps on my Technics SL-B3. I wouldn't call it an audiophile copy, but I have enjoyed it for years. 

Cover: Corner wear and discoloration. Spine has some flaking. Clear tape across top and bottom splits. 

Personnel: 

Wayne Shorter

Freddie Hubbard

Herbie Hancock

Elvin Jones

Ron Carter

Grading Notes:

All records have been recently play-tested, start to finish. I provide both a visual grade and a play grade since vintage vinyl can often play better than it looks. I use Goldmine standards to the best of my ability. However, I’ve found that, as with most things in life, grading can be subjective. I’ve done my best to accurately represent each item in my auctions. Everything has been cleaned and put into a new, upgraded inner sleeve. If you have a question, just ask! 

Shipping Notes:

All items are shipped via USPS Media Mail and packaged carefully. Media Mail is $5 and $1 for each additional LP. If you require a shipping upgrade or insurance, please let me know after the auction and I'll make the adjustment. Due to the pandemic USPS shipping times are a little slow right now and might just a little longer than expected to arrive.
