Artist & Title: Luiz Bonfa – Introspection Label & Cat #: 1972 RCA International – FSP-297 Stereo Vinyl Grade: Excellent (EX) play graded *glossy vinyl with some faint marks not affecting play Cover Grade: Very Good (VG) *light ring wear, seam wear (mostly on spine with open wear spots at top & bottom) Notes: Almost no Luiz Bonfá recording reaches the dizzying -- if gently stated -- heights of his art the way Introspection does. Recorded in 1972, this album features eight of Bonfá's compositions played on solo guitar--nylon-string, electric, and a specially designed 12-string. There is deep emotion in each track, portrayed by his elegantly articulated phrasing in spare passages of warm, haunting, sometimes somber, always deeply romantic poetic imagery. Bonfá's guitar embodies the whole of not only Brazilian tradition, but also jazz and classical music as well.(AllMusic) All photos are actual images of the item for sale.

GRADING STANDARDS: (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way. Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident.
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear.
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming.
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
