Nathan Davis Sextet – Peace Treaty – Hard Bop-Modal Jazz Vinyl LP – Spain RE

$

33

This brilliant multi-instrumentalist was a prolific composer and recording artist who is even more renowned for his work in jazz education. He got his start working with Art Blakey before moving to Europe in the early 60’s. He spent most of the decade there and recorded several legendary albums. This is one of his most renowned. It was recorded in France with support from several hall of fame musicians including Woody Shaw on trumpet and Kenny Clarke on drums, along with some of the European greats on piano, bass, and baritone. Originals of this album are almost impossible to find, and to afford. This album was released on the Spanish SFP label , number SFP 10.003. This is a reissue of the album originally released on the French SFP label in 1965. I don’t know the year this was released. The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of barely discernible surface scratches that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. There are two small chips on the edge. Neither impacts tracking or play. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover still has its original shrink wrap. It shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades NM.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
