Kent Carter With Claude Bernard – Solo (free improvisation, free jazz) RARE. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Media Mail with insurance.
This vinyl comes in excellent condition with minor skuffs, NO SKIPS.

Record plays great, love me some experimental classical/abstract jazz.
eBay record info
All records are from my personal record collection as a international touring DJ & experimental Hiphop & ambient sound producer & many have been given to me directly from artists & labels, so many come with an interesting back story.
All purchases come with an original graffiti character ink drawing by me, SpazeCraft (google me).
Since these are all sitting in my 20 plus year collection, I pick them based on playability 1st, then overall condition, then rarity.
You will find everything from old school & 90’s hip hop, to electronic music, break beats, new wave, industrial, rare movie soundtracks, meditation & cultural music, jazz, classical, my tastes go all across the board.
GRADING
My records are conservatively graded using a strict interpretation of Goldmine Price Guide's internationally adopted record grading standard....
All “major” marks, scratches & tear/wear to record cover are photographed for your inspection. Some scuffs, fingerprints & marks do not show up on photos & rest assured those will NOT effect the playing surface.
Please also consider that there is significant glare from me shooting the photos & those marks are NOT on the vinyl at all.
*All records are gently cleaned with filtered water before play grading
* SS = Still Sealed; New
* M = Mint; untouched/unplayed & never been out of its inner sleeve
* M- = Mint Minus; A near perfect probably unplayed copy
* EX = great condition but probably minor cosmetic wear to sleeve or cover
* VG+ = Very Good Plus; close to like new with only superficial signs of use that won't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector
* VG = Very Good; A used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice
* VG- = Very Good Minus; significant wear and marks and usually quite noticable surface noise.
* G+ = Good Plus; A heavily scuffed, noisey sounding record
