Sun Ra And His Arkestra      Disco 3000       stereo    El Saturn Unnumbered  Po Box 7124 Chicago picture label paste on cover

 John Gilmore (ts),  Michael Ray (t), Sun Ra (keys), Luqman Ali (d)   Recorded 1978 

No address on back.    CMIJ78 A-B in the runouts.

 El Saturn was not a label known for high quality pressing or vinyl.  Almost all records on the label play with some surface noise even when new and frequently do not play up to visual grade.  I have pointed out any that were particularly poor pressings.  In addition, many records on the label are of sub par recording quality. 

 The record looks VG++/VG+.  Pressing is fairly good, much better than ES average with only very light noise.  Record plays VG++.  Side 1 looks clean.  Side 2 has app 1 inch light, not into grooves, mark near the end that does not affect play.  Grooves do not show wear or damage.         

 The cover is VG++.  

   The front cover has light wear and small sticker residue.  The paste on is bright and clean and looks nice.  The left side is coming unglued. The back cover has moderate wear with some black spots that look like ink.  No split seams.  Spots of  wear at the corners.  Spine is intact.   

Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.

I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY.  PLEASE DO NOT ASK.

 My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-. Records are graded visually using the Goldmine system. M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I play grade any potential problem areas.  I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. You will be satisfied.  No hassles.
