DISK: From a collector's vault, a 1975 Donald Byrd record (Dr. Byrd) by, probably, one of the most highly educated Jazz artists (BA, MA, PhD). He also was purposely sought mentoring from many others. Record plays very well. Kind of like Earth Wind Fire meets Mother Nature's Son. Chorus of singers with horn and drum on top. Mostly danceable music. Play it loud for dance or in the background for a party mood and it still sounds good. Record probably NM with no scratches or scuffs discovered. I am judging it solely by careful visual examination. Played first few cuts out of curiosity. The record is bright and shiny with very clean labels as in pics. Few slight spindle marks indicating a turntable. I am not seeing scuffs or scratches under close examination with light behind. Outer jacket very nice with very small ding right bottom and a little soiling on back (pics). Inner paper sleeve looks good but has about 2 inch split middle right with small tear (pic). Portrait is sharp and clear.
Hold payment for invoice on multiple bids for correct shipping cost.
My Qualifications: My representation of records is based on my reasonable, careful but amateur examination without magnification or expert knowledge. So be forewarned that the record may not be absolutely perfect in every way under expert visual or expert audiophile listening scrutiny. I am just an intelligent and cautious guy, reasoning out the clues and liquidating records as honestly as I can. Please understand that the records I am selling were not collected by me so I do not know their history. I am no kind of expert in music or records. I research each item on Discogs and, for 45s, Fosman's Dead Wax book for all the information in the post. If I have information from Discogs, Fosman or another seller's post that a record is a reissue, I indicate that. I listen to all 45rpm records and parts of any 33rpm that looks potentially damaged. I judge them according to Discogs standards and give the reasons for my rating so buyers can second guess me. My quality ratings are not certified in any way. If the difference between an original edition and a reissue is indicated by a tiny detail not shown on Discogs, Fosman or by another seller, I may not discover that. I sell in the belief that collectors of vintage records are more knowledgeable than me about what they collect and know what they are looking at. I am glad to answer any questions that could determine the authenticity of a version. Because collectors may know the true value of a record, while I do not, I start at a very reasonable price and let bidders set the true value, which is often much higher than I thought or much lower. If an item gets no bids after a while I discard it even though I originally thought it was worth something.
