- Solo in Kyoto -

Label: Morgue records

 Number: MORGUE 01

Made in Japan

Note: impressive soprano saxophone solo set, recorded during Lacy's 1975 concert tour in Japan.

Produced by legendary promoter Aquirax Aida for his elusive Morgue label 

and released in 1979 in a limited run of probably no more than 250 or 300 copies.

 Extremely rare original, this is the only release and of one the most sought after of all Lacy albums!

Condition

Cover: VG

Overall nice condition

Downgraded because of marked discolouration along the edges and a hint of ring wear on the back 

 Bottom seam split starting at mouth, approx. 3 inch in length

Back has a title correction and sequence numbers written in black felt pen, oddly enough also present on the few other copies I've ever seen of this album; wondering if this is a producers edit?

( See scans for the above imperfections)

Otherwise NO creases, NO tears, NO wrinkles, NO paper loss, NO fraying

 Vinyl: NM

Heavy platter, immaculate and shiny surface

The record looks unplayed

Superb playback

NO hairlines, NO scratches, NO scuffs, NO other visible marks

NO surface noise, NO skips, NO ticks, NO  crackle, NO other audible imperfections.

Grading

All gradings are based on thorough visual inspection and a full audition.

The standard scale applies (M*, NM, VG+, VG). 

As a rule Near Mint (NM) is my highest grade. 

* I don't believe in Mint (M) and will only use it in the exceptional case

where I'm sure to be dealing with an item from unplayed and untouched stock.

I don't offer anything below VG.

If you are not satisfied for any reason you return the item within two weeks

and I offer full refund, no discussion.
