John Gilmore (bcl, d ), Marshall Allen ( fl ), Pat Patrick ( cga, perc), Sun Ra (keys), Tommy Hunter (d) ETC Recorded 1963, 1970
No address on back. 142000A/B in the runouts.
According to "Earthly Recordings", Side 1="Primitive" and "The Conversion of J.P." and Side 2 = "Space Probe".
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 has moderate noise and record plays VG+ on quiet parts to VG++ on loud passages. Side 1 looks clean except for app 12 pressing dimples that do not affect play. Side 2 has a superficial mark which might be a scuff or maybe a pressing defect. It doesn't affect play. There's also a small needle dig that causes a moderate tick. Grooves do not show wear or damage.
The cover is VG+.
The front cover has moderate wear, fading and an area of sticker residue. The back cover has moderate wear and fading. No split seams. Spots of heavy wear and denting at the corners. 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.
