Media grade: VG＋, very faint label wear Listing Information

Carolina Soul weekly offering: The entirety of this week's Jazz auction comes from the personal collection of the late Morgan Usadel. As close friend, jazz writer, and author Mark Stryker tells us: "Morgan, who passed away in 2021, was a record man his entire professional life, managing record stores in Urbana-Champaign for 40 years. His knowledge, passion, and exquisite taste in all music, particularly jazz and classical, made him a beloved figure, mentor, and consigliere among the community in and around the University of Illinois. At the core of this collection are hundreds of hard bop and post-bop classics of the '50s and '60s, as well as key documents of the avant-garde and scarce gems from the '70s. These pearls, nearly all in immaculate condition, speak to a life transformed by music - reminders of why we all fell in love with music and records in the first place."

Grading Scale Sealed Jacket sealed shut in shrink wrap; disc sold ungraded or "as is". NM Appears unplayed and will bear no marks, sleeve scuffs, or scratches. We seldom use this grade. VG++ May have one or two visible imperfections (i.e. sleeve scuffs, faint scratches, or other superficial marks) that will not affect play. VG+ A few visible imperfections. These may include sleeve scuffs, light scratches, or other superficial marks. VG Same imperfections found on VG+ records but in slightly greater numbers. Records graded VG and above will typically not have any scratches that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. VG- A number of visible imperfections; the presence of a considerable number of light scratches will force a VG- grade, as will the presence of significant isolated defects such as scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G Pervasive imperfections of varying degrees including both light scratches and scratches deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range.

All records are visually graded by our experienced staff, using a bright lamp and a well-calibrated turntable.
