Description
- Artist & Title: John Coltrane ?– Live At Birdland
- Label & Cat #: 1964 Impulse! ?– A-50 Mono *Original first pressing Van Gelder master (stamped in matrix runout)
- Vinyl Grade: VG+ play graded *all tracks play great except for "Alabama" where spindle/scuffing marks created surface noise (this track only play-graded as VG with crackling throughout at different levels)
- Cover Grade: VG+ *nice gatefold jacket with adhesion paper peel on back, owner's name inside
- Notes: Tracks A1, A2 & B1 recorded live at Birdland, New York on October 8, 1963. Tracks B2 & B3 recorded in the studio on November 18, 1963. Arguably John Coltrane's finest all-around album, this recording has brilliant versions of "Afro Blue" and "I Want to Talk About You"; the second half of the latter features Coltrane on unaccompanied tenor tearing into the piece but never losing sight of the fact that it is a beautiful ballad. John Coltrane – tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone; McCoy Tyner – piano; Jimmy Garrison – double bass; Elvin Jones – drums. (AllMusic)
- All photos are actual images of the item for sale.
- All records are sleeved and removed from jacket to prevent any seam splitting, and both then shipped inside a poly album sleeve.
- (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way. Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
- (NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident.
- (EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear.
- (VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
- (VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming.
- (G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
