The 1988 Sun Ra release HIDDEN FIRE was the last new
El Saturn release. Hidden Fire was actually 2 separate
records. The first was listed in the Campbell book as
Volume 1 & 2 (which are sides 1 & 2 on the record. El
Saturn records can be confusing). To top it off, this
copy is an ORIGINAL press which didn't have labels,
so do not list song titles. The matrix # on side A of
the vinyl is 1 30 88 A. On Side B of the vinyl the matrix #
is 1 28 88 B. Sold only off the stage at a few gigs, this
is a rare one.



I've been a serious record collector for 50 years. For 25+ of those years I've worked in new and used record shops cleaning/grading/pricing LP's.  I've accumulated many great records in excellent condition over the years.

Every record that I'm selling is from my personal collection. They are not dusty, dirty records.

The record you are bidding on has been cleaned on the top-of-the-line Nitty Gritty Machine and play-graded with a new Grado stylus. It has been accurately and conservatively graded.

As many of you already know, vinyl from the 50's, 60's and early 70's might appear to have scuffs, etc but when played sound excellent, with no audible defects.  Vinyl from the mid-70's on might look fine but are sometimes crappy pressings, made with re-cycled vinyl etc. I go the extra mile to be accurate with my grading.

I ship records promptly and securely in record mailers with sufficient padding. BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Thank you.
