George Winston - Summer (Solo Piano) - Windham Hill LP 1991 - SEALED AND RARE

George Winston - Summer (Solo Piano) Windham Hill Records 01934-11107-1 Released October 8, 1991.  This was the very last Windham Hill release to get a vinyl pressing.  Not too many were pressed, as LPs were leaving the music mainstream in the U.S. around this time, and Windham Hill had slowed its vinyl output to a trickle as CDs had taken over in 1989-90.
This is a still sealed pressing!  The album still has its original outerbag completely intact, which has a small tearstrip along the top and which is calibrated to put no pressure on the jacket or record.  Both the LP and its innersleeve are assumed to be NM.  The jacket is NM, looking just as good as the day it first appeared in a record store - no bends, seam splits, or ringwear at all!
Enjoy this rare-on-vinyl offering from Montana-born pianist George Winston.  Like his other seasonal records, "Summer" offers an impressionistic take on the warmth, landscapes, excitement, and emotions of summer, filling a needed gap in his catalogue.  I especially like his versions of "If You Love an Apple" (originally an Irish tune covered by the Bothy Band) and "Corrina, Corrina" (familiar to listeners of Bob Dylan and other folk artists).  This is a really nice collection of repertoire, as our Winston's other efforts.

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"

As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last twenty-four years but now need to winnow from my shelves.  The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests - soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird.  Check back often to see what surprises I've got in store! 

Please note my conditions of sale:

-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively.  Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface.  If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront.  As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by).  Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final - returns are not accepted.

-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items.  Because of the demands of my work schedule, shipments typically go out twice a week, by Wednesday (for albums paid for during the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later payments).  Whenever possible, I crank out shipments faster than this, so rest assured you'll get your order quickly.

-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. You will be prompted to make payment at the time of purchase.  Please do not commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.

-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail.  I charge a starting fee of $5.00 for one album, then 75 cents per each additional LP in your order.  This is to help cover the cost of materials to keep your records safe.

-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases.  Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.

-A word to the wise on how I consider best offers: I often accept offers up to 30% below the listing value for my items.  Please avoid lowball offers!

-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer.  Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there.  Enjoy!
