Our life is made up of moments, scanned by time. Second after second, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, year after year. My life has been characterized by many things and one of the most important was the music and of course the vinyl. I started collecting vinyl since I was 10 years old. And I sold my first record when I was 14 years old. From that time forward the vinyl has always had a place in my days. Just like ... now!

"Out to Lunch stands as Eric Dolphy's magnum opus, an absolute pinnacle of avant-garde jazz in any form or era. Its rhythmic complexity was perhaps unrivaled since Dave Brubeck's Time Out, and its five Dolphy originals -- the jarring Monk tribute "Hat and Beard," the aptly titled "Something Sweet, Something Tender," the weirdly jaunty flute showcase "Gazzelloni," the militaristic title track, the drunken lurch of "Straight Up and Down" -- were a perfect balance of structured frameworks, carefully calibrated timbres, and generous individual freedom. Much has been written about Dolphy's odd time signatures, wide-interval leaps, and flirtations with atonality. And those preoccupations reach their peak on Out to Lunch, which is less rooted in bop tradition than anything Dolphy had ever done. But that sort of analytical description simply doesn't do justice to the utterly alien effect of the album's jagged soundscapes. Dolphy uses those pet devices for their evocative power and unnerving hints of dementia, not some abstract intellectual exercise. His solos and themes aren't just angular and dissonant -- they're hugely so, with a definite playfulness that becomes more apparent with every listen. The whole ensemble -- trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, vibist Bobby Hutcherson, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Tony Williams -- takes full advantage of the freedom Dolphy offers, but special mention has to be made of Hutcherson, who has fully perfected his pianoless accompaniment technique. His creepy, floating chords and quick stabs of dissonance anchor the album's texture, and he punctuates the soloists' lines at the least expected times, suggesting completely different pulses. Meanwhile, Dolphy's stuttering vocal-like effects and oddly placed pauses often make his bass clarinet lines sound like they're tripping over themselves. Just as the title Out to Lunch suggests, this is music that sounds like nothing so much as a mad gleam in its creator's eyes."

OUR REFUND POLICY

WE OFFER UNCONDITIONAL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE WITHIN 7 DAYS FROM THE DAY OF THE RECEIPT OF THE MERCHANDISE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. YOU CAN REQUEST A REFUND FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE RECEIPT.

The only restriction to our full money-back guarantee is one item per customer per order. In other words, if you buy, say, four items from us, you will not be allowed to return all four, but only one (no bulk refunds will be allowed), UNLESS more than one item is defective or unsuitable for use, in which case all defective or flawed items will be eligible for a full refund. .We consider "defective items" to be those having a fatal flaw making it unsuitable for use, such as:

(A) Undisclosed crack or fatal warp in the vinyl;

(B) Serious defect in manufacturing or workmanship

(C) Skipping during the playback which we did not notice, disclose or describe beforehand, or: 

(D) Undisclosed thermal (heat or sunlight) damage causing excessive surface noise. 

For the purpose of our refund policy, no other deficiencies will be defined or acceptable as "defects": the scuffs, scratches and abrasions on the CD's or vinyl's surface, if any, are ALWAYS noted and described in our auctions to the best of our ability, and they are NOT considered to be defects.

We do not know how the purchased item will sound when played by the buyer. We can only make reasonable inference on the record's condition based on its visual appearance. The bidders should be cautioned that every bid carries a risk that the purchased item will underperform, or play worse than its visual grade may indicate. In addition, some play-grading standards are utterly subjective: one man's light, tolerable surface noise is another man's unbearable, degrading clatter. 

Our grading standards are not subject to dispute or debate, either during or after the auction. Bidders who have any doubts that our grading is up to their standards should either seek clarification from us while the auction is still in progress, or refrain from bidding altogether.

The bid placed on any of our eBay auctions signifies that you have read our terms and conditions, this web page included, and that you agree with our trade terms and policies. 

We WILL inspect all returned items for any alleged defects.

For all other disputed items and claims we MAY at our sole discretion decide to grant a refund, BUT ONLY as a credit toward the buyer's next bid or purchase; Sorry, we cannot refund return postage for returned items except in cases where the returned item has a defect; only the NET amount of the bid will be returned. Still sealed items MUST be returned sealed in order to be eligible for a refund !

STILL SEALED ITEMS: In most cases we do, in fact, know for sure that still sealed album contains original, first pressings inside (where we are not sure we will so state). In many cases, we will specifically elaborate and document why we feel the still sealed album is the first pressing. However, our refund guarantee for still-sealed albums applies ONLY to those albums that are RETURNED to us as STILL SEALED.  If you have any doubt that what we have shipped you is the original, first pressing, PLEASE do NOT open the album and return it to us in the same condition it was shipped. Once opened, the deal is consummated and the album is officially yours IRRESPECTIVE of what pressing or condition you find inside. We will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES provide refund if the buyer disingenuously claims that the sealed item contains something else inside. In essence, you can count on our good-faith appraisal of what we believe you will find inside, but – sorry – we are not clairvoyant. There is an element of risk involved in purchasing still sealed items – particularly those older than 30 years. YOU, the bidder, bear this risk solely and exclusively.
