Description
This is a brilliant short-lived collaboration between three of Europe’s most powerful musicians. Alan Skidmore is a British saxophonist who has been recording and performing since the late 1950’s, still going strong today. He has released over 20 incredibly adventurous albums. Tony Oxley was a British drummer who was highly impactful in the evolution of European free jazz. He appeared on over 40 albums as leader. And Ali Haruand was a brilliant German bassist who released nearly 20 albums as leader and also appeared on over 40 more. The two albums this trio released are highlights of their individual careers. This was their first. It is a beautiful collection of very accessible free jazz melodies. The album was released on the German EGO Records label in 1979, number 4011. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful – almost pristine – condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows no ring wear and very light corner and edge wear. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There are a few light creases. There is a name written on the back. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information:
I always clean and listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.
I use four grades in grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background noise. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.
Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $7.00 in the continental U.S. I apologize for the increase in shipping cost. The USPS has raised postage rates again. Shipping a single email now costs $5.38, so even at $7, the cost of supplies means I still end up losing money on each album. I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $7.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Also, please keep in mind that if your entire transaction totals $50 or more, I will pay the entire shipping cost.
Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $28. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $30. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
