Description
Sun Ra And His Arkestra Media Dreams stereo El Saturn 1978 picture label
John Gilmore (ts), Michael Ray (t), Sun Ra (keys), Luqman Ali (d) Recorded 1978
No address on back. CMP 1978 C-A/CMP 1978 D-B in the runouts.
El Saturn was not a label known for high quality pressing or vinyl. Almost all records on the label play with some surface noise even when new and frequently do not play up to visual grade. I have pointed out any that were particularly poor pressings. In addition, many records on the label are of sub par recording quality.
The record looks VG++. Pressing is bit better than ES average with light noise and record plays VG+ on quiet parts to mostly VG++. Both sides have light superficial scuffing, some blemishing discoloration and a few of the pressing dimples so common on El Saturns. None of these affect play. Grooves do not show wear or damage.
The cover is VG++.
The front cover has light wear and small sticker residue. The paste on is bright and clean and looks nice. The back cover has moderate wear with ring wear. No split seams. Spots of heavy wear and denting at the corners of the pocket. Spine is intact.
Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.
I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY. PLEASE DO NOT ASK.
My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-. Records are graded visually using the Goldmine system. M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I play grade any potential problem areas. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. You will be satisfied. No hassles.
