Description
I am parting with some of my treasured LPs. Here's a first stereo/Quad pressing from SUN RA circa 1973. On the Impulse Label, all of these Impulse Sun Ra LPs are amazing. This one finds them at their more soulful and funkiest while still maintaining their free jazz craziness. John Gilmore has some amazing moments on this one!! The very first pressing was compatible with both stereo as quad systems, so for anyone with a 5.1 system, this pressing is the one you might enjoy more. For anyone unfamiliar with Sun Ra, the Impulse LPs are a great starting point.
It's a beautiful copy, LP sounds great and is NEAR MINT. The LP has a great gloss, and the labels are beautiful. The cover is beautiful, I say a VG+ as it does show mild ring wear front and back, small corner dings, and a couple rubs on the top and bottom seams that are consistent with an LP that was totally enjoyed from 1973, and was well cared for and loved, but saw play. . A great gatefold cover. The inside of which is beautiful and clean. The labels are beautiful. The LP is in full gloss with no major marks at all, and is a fantastic playing copy.
I love original pressings because I feel every LP is of it's time and place. The vinyl, and record pressings are all from that moment in time, and no re-pressing or re-mastering will ever make the sound better for me. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LPS FOR SALE NOW ON EBAY. I AM POSTING SOME TREASURES. SOME ARE RARE AND COLLECTIBLE, AND OTHERS ARE JUST GREAT ALBUMS LIKE THIS ONE IS.
SS = (STILL SEALED) The record itself is in brand new condition, assumed never to have been played.
M = (MINT) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet,
booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
M - = (MINT MINUS) MINT- is not MINT but is very close to it, near new, there might be a blemish or two, but overall record and jacket are like new or very close to new.
EX = (EXCELLENT) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight
wear and / or creasing.
VG = (VERY GOOD) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the
occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
G = (GOOD) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and
contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
F = (FAIR) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will
be torn, stained and / or defaced.
P = (POOR) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
B = (BAD) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler
We also use + or - to adjust grades in between, so...this scopes out to: SS/M/M-/EX+/EX/EX-/VG+/VG/VG-/G+/G/F/P/B
