DONALD BYRD - ‘Dominoes’ / ‘Wind Parade’    12”    UK    1976    Blue Note  12-UP 622

Becoming harder to find and sought after original Blue Note 2 track 12” in company die-cut sleeve.  

CONDITION:       U.K. MAGAZINE  'RECORD COLLECTOR'  GRADING SYSTEM USED.  It’s in my best interests to provide an accurate and honest appraisal of condition.  If in doubt, I tend to under-grade to avoid buyer disappointment.   Vinyl is play tested IN FULL at volume on quality audio equipment.  Please note; there may be minor variations in the audible level of background surface noise/light crackle/dust pops from one turntable set-up to another.  Used records are cleaned with L'art Du Son fluid using a Moth vacuum record cleaning machine, unless condition deems unnecessary.    All records/sleeves are visually checked in good natural daylight or using 125W white/daylight bulbs. 

Playing condition is VG/VG-.  Some surface noise/crackle in places – more prominent on fade-outs.   Some audible groove-wear.   Overall, NO loud consecutive clicks (from scratches)  NO jumps  NO sticking. 

Visually, in good daylight, the vinyl looks VG.   Surface-only marks/scuffs. 

Labels are EX.  Spindle marks evident.  All text perfectly readable.  NO writing  NO stickers.

PHOTOS ARE OF ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE.  NO STOCK PHOTOS USED. 

PLEASE NOTE; Due to the reflective nature of vinyl discs, faint marks rarely show up in photos, however I try to include photos of any more visible marks where possible.

Record Collector Magazine Grading System  - VINYL

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

EXCELLENT (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG) The record has obviously been played many times but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable

GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeable deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and or defaced.

POOR (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

BAD (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken and is only of use as a collection filler
