ATTENTION international bidders!
Please understand that altering the final price of online purchases to avoid customs fees is illegal.  Every order is processed digitally, the shipping label affixed to the package will show the exact cost of the item.  I am an honest seller and cannot alter the amount, so please do not ask me to do so. RECORD packaging & shipping!
I provide ample padding in each package to prevent shifting during the shipping process. I also use industry-standard shipping boxes which are specifically designed for shipping records. Records are shipped outside their sleeves (if a sleeve is included) and covers to prevent damage during transit.  


Goldmine Standard Grading:
SS / NM- / VG++ / VG+ / VG / G+ / G / P
I grade conservatively, please see my grading scale below the record description for more details. 


Great original free jazz here from John Coltrane on the original stereo IMPULSE label.  Very nice sound and a solid playing disc overall!  Van Gelder, A1 and B1 in the dead wax, marked Edition II. A nice original here...

Vinyl:  VG+ to VG++ (7.5 to 8 .5 out of 10)
This is a conservative grade. The record has been cleaned on my VPI machine and handled with care. To provide the best description possible, detailed text, numerous pictures and often audio clips are used to fully describe the record for sale. Please listen intently to the sound clips included below, they are direct from the record playing back and are completely unedited aside, of course, for creating the clips themselves.  
Nice shine to the vinyl!  Great sounding record. Surface does have light sleeve scuffs and light marks.  Again, playback is strong and is very enjoyable in my opinion.  No skips. Light background can be heard during quiet passages, but playback is typically as heard in the play clips below. 
Side 1 plays clear with only light background noise, a couple light pops or clicks along the way - still very nice.  Very light mark is faintly detectable to the touch near the end of this side. Overall bright sound, loud music keeps much of the background noise to a minimum and relatively unnoticeable.  
Side 2 starts with a light recurring hiss for a bit but this fades as the music kicks in, this side has some light pops and clicks along the way as well but carries a nice sound throughout - very enjoyable in my opinion.  The clips I've included here are rather long so that everyone interested can have the best idea possible of playback.
See the pics on the right for more visual info. 
Feel free to judge the playback for yourself at the clips below.  For playback, I use a DUAL 731Q direct drive with an Ortofon 5E cartridge/stylus setup.

The clips you hear below are one clip from each side, respectively. This is a visual grade as well as a complete play grade. Again, please feel free to check the sound clips below!

Cover / Sleeve:  
The cover is in VG++ condition. Cover  shows some very light contact wear and light signs of handling. Edges are sharp and strong, no splits. Spine print reads well with the only flaw in the print being a crack in the print at the spine center, as shown in the pictures. Inner gatefold looks nice with some very light foxing. Back cover looks nice as well with some light contact wear and light foxing. Overall the cover looks just as the pictures show and is in very nice shape overall, not mint - but definitely a great copy.
Inner original IMPULSE sleeve is as shown. It is included to complete the original package. Condition is nice with a small split at one edge center. I've included an extra sleeve for the record.  
The record will ship in the poly sleeve outside the cover. All will ride inside a clear outer sleeve, then packed tight and padded as all my records ship. Please see my feedback to rest assured I take pride in my shipping practices.
Please inspect the pictures well for something I may have missed mentioning. I've enjoyed the record while I've owned it, its time to let it go to make room for more acquisitions. I try to be conservative when grading, I hope my description was sufficient.



Thanks for looking!

Goldmine Grading Details
SS = Still Sealed
any defects will be listed and/or photographed to complete the description

NM- = Near Mint Minus
just short of perfect - acceptable defects would include a hairline mark not detectable to the touch and not affecting playback, background noise is nearly silent

VG++ = Very Good Plus Plus
most records I will list fall under this grade, just short of NM- but may have a mark or contact wear to the label to grade it slightly lower, maybe a drill hole or saw cut, maybe a mark or name written on the label lightly, sound is still great, loud and near perfect, cover may have slight edge or corner wear, maybe slight ring wear

VG+ = Very Good Plus
 a great record, sound is high quality though may have a few pops or clicks, overall very nice looking vinyl possibly with light marks & scuffs, labels may have a name or mark on them, possible light contact wear to the label, covers may have a small split but not large or gaping, edge wear on cover may show more than slight, may be a mark on cover

VG = Very Good
only records I will list with this grade would be rather rare or of higher book value, meant to sell as a filler until a better record comes along, vinyl may have feel-able marks but should play through without skipping, pops or clicks may be louder than usual, may have marks or wear on the label, cover may have open splits, wear on print, may have marks or other very apparent defects (all will be stated in description either by type or in the pictures)
