Artist: The Stark Reality
Album: Discovers Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop
Label: AJP
Record Condition: Disc 1: VG-/VG Disc 2: EX/EX (Side 1 has either a strange pressing defect or heat damage that results in a lot of surface noise, you can physically see this on the record, it looks like there are white specks of dust throughout the record. Tried cleaning it but to no avail. Side 2 exhibits the same defect, but to a much lesser degree. Both sides of disc 2, which I personally think are the best sides of the album, with the longer mellow John Abercrombie tracks, play beautifully with no evidence of the pressing defect. Please listen to soundclips of every side to get a sense of the overall condition.)
Cover Condition: VG+ (Just some light ringwear and edgewear, nothing serious. Ampex records and tapes sticker on back cover)



Listen to the soundclip! (Side Three)



Listen to the soundclip! (The Junkmans Song)



Listen to the soundclip! (The Old Prospector)

Absolute classic, one of the most storied rare records amongst collectors and beat diggers of the past decade. Very rare, reissued by Stones Throw in 2003, I'll let the internet explain the story surrounding how the record came to be. Please take a listen to the audio clips above and read my notes on the condition - I've recorded sections from each side to give a representative picture of how the record plays. Good luck and happy bidding!

I am a DJ and collector and grade conservatively on the simple scale of Sealed, NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, and G. All audio clips and photos are taken from the copy of the record for sale and are not altered in any way.
