• IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE BIDDING:
  

If you are hysterical because of a scratch on the record or something else about record please don't bid here. It is included in grading. It's not like you "thought anything else" other than what is graded by us. 

We grade discs in detail and are one step ahead with the grading so that you can be satisfied.

There is no "misleading information here".

We are professionals and have stored and graded records over many, many years.

Our grading "mint" is mint and that means we don't want to see anything on the record and it should be like a new record. That's why we rarely use "mint grading".

I have seen many times that people use ex or near mint if the record is vg+. We have to maintain high standards so that music lovers are super satisfied.

Feedback:

There are two kinds of feedbacks on Ebay: One is visible: Positive, neutral and negative.

The second one is hidden and it is invisible to seller and is something like: How was the transaction and are you satisfied?

Both are very important to us because they affect us directly even if you write super positive main visible feedback and other feedback in the background is neutral or negative. It means "Game over" for us. Ebay have new policies all the time. We will be sanctioned by Ebay and we will not be able to sell again for many months to come.

It has happened to us because of a buyer who could not speak English and he thought something else. 

Please it's not fun and not honest. Remember, we want you to be satisfied above all else.

Better not to write anything at all than to write "so there" on visible or for us invisible feedback.

BUYERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS AND WE UNDERSTAND IT.

WE USE SWEDISH POST SERVICE RECOMMENDED EXTRA SAFE DELIVERY.

WE SHARE THE COST AND LOWER THE PRICE TO 15 POUNDS ONE RECORD AND 19 POUNDS 2 OR MORE RECORDS WORLDWIDE. WE ARE USING UK EBAY FOR AUKTION AND ARE STATIONED IN SWEDEN.

SHIPPING IS PARTLY AT OUR OWN EXPENSE.Be patient, it may take a few extra days for delivery. Tracking is available.

Thank you very much and keep on rockin

REVIEW FROM MUSICDIRECT:

Bassist Henry Franklin's 1972 release for Black Jazz, The Skipper, is one of the highlights in a label catalog full of many, and his 1974 follow-up, The Skipper at Home ('The Skipper' is Franklin's nickname), lives up to its predecessor's high standard and might even surpass it.

Which is no surprise given that a lot of the same players are on it, including trumpeter/flugelhornist Oscar Brashear, tenor/soprano saxophonist Charles Owens, and pianist Bill Henderson (here billed as Kemang Sunduza). But The Skipper at Home also boasts ace talents like keyboardist Kirk Lightsey (memorably featured on the Roland Haynes Black Jazz release 2nd Wave), trombonist Al Hall, Jr. (who appeared on Black Jazz releases from Doug Carn, Chester Thompson, and Calvin Keys), and drummer Leon 'Ndugu' Chancler, who's played with everyone from Miles Davis to Joe Henderson.

The result is an album that, like The Skipper, is rooted in bop but one that nods to some of the currents that were swirling in jazz at the time; it's a little freer, a little more electric. And, as is true of just about every Black Jazz release, the ensemble work is remarkably intuitive and swinging, driven by Franklin's melodic, inventive bass playing. The Skipper at Home has never been reissued on vinyl outside of Japan, and it's never sounded better thanks to Mike Milchner's remastering. Pat Thomas' liner notes complete the package. A beautiful record.

IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded! We  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight.

WE WILL ALWAYS PREFER TO GRADE OUR RECORDS FAIRLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.
