Description

  • Artist & Title: Sun Ra ?–  Atlantis 
  • Label & Cat #:  1973 Impulse! ?/ ABC Records / Saturn Research ?– AS-9239 Stereo *reissue of original 1969 release on the Saturn label
  • Vinyl Grade: EX play graded  *superb playing vinyl with single long needle/scuff mark on each side not affecting play
  • Cover Grade: EX *gatefold with light shelf wear. 
  • Notes: Featuring the Astro Infinity Arkestra, Atlantis reveals two very distinct sides of Sun Ra's music. The first consists of shorter works Ra presumably constructed for presentation on the Hohner clavinet (Ra dubbed the "Solar Sound Instrument" ). The second side consists of the epic 21-minute title track and is free or "space" jazz at its most invigorating. (AllMusic)

    • All photos are actual images of the item for sale.
    • All records are sleeved and removed from jacket to prevent any seam splitting, and both then shipped inside a poly album sleeve.
    • Shipping discount when purchasing more than one item. Please wait for revised invoice.
GRADING STANDARDS: 

  • (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
  • (NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
  • (EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
  • (VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
  • (VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
  • (G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
