Description
This appears to be the only recorded music with Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane playing together. Coltrane, in his "sheets of sound" phase (though he was constantly in transition), plays with immediately identifiable power. Cecil Taylor shows all the tools of his mature style yet fits with his band-mates and the repertoire. This is a remarkable record. See the back of the cover for the name of the saxophonist.
The vinyl has few marks and an attractive sheen but some crackle and surface noise. It's a good listening copy rated VG. The cover has no writing, no split seams, no cutout hole or clipped corner. The spine is completely intact, impressively strong and legible. There are a couple of chips in the top seam and one in the bottom plus small wear on the corners. There is a vertical line down the middle of the front. Thus it is a strong VG. See the photos.
Records are graded by playing and visually inspecting the vinyl. If the results differ, the lower grade is used.
You can save on shipping by combining several items. Please see our other records. Order two records at the same time with NO INCREASE in shipping charge for domestic shipping. If you want a revision in shipping charges, please DO NOT PAY until you receive a revised invoice.
Records are removed from the cover before shipping to save the seams. Both are packed in a plastic sleeve, bubble-wrapped, sandwiched between cardboard, then packed in a box designed for shipping records.

The following Goldmine descriptions were used for grading:
· NM (Near Mint) ---- A nearly perfect record. The disc looks as if you just got it home from a new record store. Many brand new discs do not meet this standard. The jacket should show no obvious signs of wear with no creases, folds, seam splits or cut-out holes.
· VG+ (Very Good Plus) ---- A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear such as slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect the listening experience. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration but it would be barely noticeable. The jacket may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or corner indicating it was sold at a discount.
· VG (Very Good) ---- Surface noise will be evident, especially in soft passages, but will not overpower the music. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches that will affect the sound. Labels and the jacket may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers attached. Ring wear, scuffing, or seam splitting may be present on the jacket. Many of the defects in a VG+ jacket will be more pronounced in a VG one. The jacket will not have all of these problems at the same time.
· G (Good) ---- Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put on a turntable and will play through without skipping or sticking. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
