$

35

Press Info: 1st Press from Austria in 2018

   Recorded and mixed October 17-19, 2000  

          Originally released in 2001, Fisherman’s.com is Japanese free-jazz stalwart Akira Sakata’s ode to folksongs of the sea, reimagined and repurposed as seeds for avant distortions. Featuring Sakata on alto saxophone and vocals, Bill Laswell on bass, Pete Cosey on guitar, and Hamid Drake on drums, it’s an intensely personal statement on the fluidity of tradition      

Vinyl Grade: VG++

Cover Grade: VG++

          In shrink. Opening has slight wear. Corner wear

Inner in great shape

*All records ship in vinyl mailers with a brand new inner sleeve and protective outer sleeve. Records are shipped outside of the jacket in the new inner sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.

**Inner sleeves are not individually graded. If I write "Inner is included," it means it appears solid with no seam splits. Any splits or tears will be mentioned, though exact location and size are not measured. Feel free to reach out if you’d like more detail

***Generic covers, company sleeves, and generic sleeves with hype stickers will NOT be graded. I will mention any serious issues (rips, tears, or splits), but otherwise, please refer to the photos for condition details or feel free to ask any questions. I will only grade singles with picture sleeves.

GRADING SCALE: 

SEALED / MINT – Factory sealed.

NM – Extremely clean with little to no visible wear. Appears unplayed or barely played. Used sparingly.

EX – Very clean copy with minimal visual marks and clean playback.

VG++ – Very few light hairlines or sleeve scuffs. Plays great.

VG+ – Light hairlines or scuffs present. Clean overall and should play well.

VG – More noticeable marks than VG+, but no deep scratches. May have light surface noise.

VG- – Noticeable wear and scratches that may affect playback, including scratches that can be felt.

G – Heavy wear with deep scratches that can be felt and cause playback issues.

**Records are primarily visually graded. I sometimes spot-check playback. If I comment on sound quality, it is based on brief listening unless otherwise stated. If I listened to the entire record, I will clearly say so in the description. I do not factor spindle marks into grading and may not always mention their presence.
