Sun Ra        The Heliocentric Worlds Of Sun Ra  Vol 1      stereo    ESP 1014

John Gilmore (ts, d ), Marshall Allen,  Danny Davis (as, fl ) Pat Patrick ( bar s, fl), Sun Ra (keys), Ronnie Boykins(b)  ETC Recorded 1965 

 The record looks M-.  No scuffs and no scratches.   Grooves are bright and glossy and look unplayed or nearly so. The record plays VG+ during the quiet parts to VG++ for most of the record.  ESP was not known as a quality label and their pressing quality was well below average.  This record plays with light to moderate surface noise audible during the quieter parts.         

 The cover is VG++.  

    The front cover has light to moderate wear.  The back cover has light wear with hint of ring wear.  No split seams.  Spots of wear at the corners.   Spine is readable and 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.
