BOULDER COLORADO
<><><><>ZEPHYR<><><><>

Zephyr was a blues-based hard rock band formed in 1969 in Boulder, Colorado by guitarist Tommy Bolin, keyboardist John Faris, David Givens on bass guitar, Robbie Chamberlin on drums and Candy Givens on vocals. Although the charismatic performances by Candy Givens were originally the focal point for the band, it was the flashy guitar work of Tommy Bolin that the band is best remembered for. After Bolin left, he was replaced by Jock Bartley, and the band recorded the album Sunset Ride, their second for Warner Brothers Records. The album is still in print and is much loved by a small but loyal following. On Sunset Ride, Candy Givens displayed her gifts as a singer, composer, and harmonica player. The album was produced by David Givens who also authored the majority of the tunes. As a result of his stint with Zephyr, Bartley went on to a successful career with Gram Parsons and Firefall and drummer, Michael Wooten, went on to play for several years with Carole King. Various versions of Zephyr continued to play in Colorado until Candy's death in 1984. The release of "Heartbeat" in 1982 was promoted by a video that incorporated very early examples of analog computer animation combined with live action.

Other Zephyr members of note include trance blues maven, Otis Taylor, who played bass during the mid-1970s, Kenny Wilkins (Drums) and also later on as (guitarist), guitarist Zack Smith (founder of Columbia Records band Scandal), and blues guitarist, Eddie Turner, who played guitar in the last incarnation during the early 1980s. Candie and David, Tommy, and John Faris were all founding members of The Legendary 4Nikators, Boulder's oldest and best loved party band. Taylor and Turner were later additions to The Legendary 4Nikators - Taylor noted for playing motorcycle on stage during "Leader Of The Pack" and performing in a kilt and Turner for his renditions of Jimi Hendrix classics.

40 years after, Zephyr's music is still in print and continues to be played in the various media. YouTube has brought new eyes and ears to the band.

Visual Grading Under Normal lighting
M   New Unopened as in the the original package, unused NM+ being as close to new as possible, no marks, no significant issue's, Opened package NM Vinyl is just that, appearing unplayed, unused with no visible usage marks/ accidents/or sleeve scuffs. Just a hint of non Mint! NM- maybe a hint of a previous handling, hard to see.  EX+ showing a little more hints of usage EX now beginning to see a feather lite mark or two, paper scuffs, none deep, absolute no sound issue's, possible occasional lite surface noise .  EX- just progressively showing a few more signs of previous usage VG+ slightly more issue's than EX- VG now beginning to see and hear more distinctly the fact that this is used vinyl record enjoyable listen too but showing plenty of usage/wear. Still no serious sound issues skips or stik spots VG- no loud overpowering sound issue's but plenty of lite marks, beginning to hear louder tic's and surface noise G+ Plays through with no skips or stik spots G   This is the lowest grading scale although playable you may hear continuous surface noise, louder tics, cliks and or pops. G- Now surface noise is occasionally overpowering, may have a skip or two, plays well enough to appreciate. Fair  A space filler, a very rare specimen, serious wear and sound issue's
The Cover / Sleeve and Inner Sleeves are graded using the above scale with plenty of pic's and full descriptions of the particular condition.
Play Grading    Usually when there are visible deep marks or potential marks that may effect the sound quality, I will Test Play these areas to see what if any effects they may have. * This is an very opinionated area of grading, different levels of tolerance, realizing the natural sound of vinyl records new or used, different play back equipment, etc.  Praise the Seller for even opening  his mouth with Sound Quality Opinions! My idea of EX and yours of G+? So just take the comments, look at the Seller's Report Card/ Feed Back, combine with the Visual Grade and the Cost and make your decision! If you receive a Record/Item that is appears to be a definite mistake or intentional description error, than immediately contact the Seller and POLITELY  ask to return the item for a full refund or make an offer of acceptance to keep AS IS! No need to involve EBAY in the return process unless one or both Party's are unreasonable.
Unless stated I will only Play Grade test the areas of concern and random locations. Can not be responsible for the entire records Play Grade condition.
Always ask questions and request more pic's or info before buying!
