Albert Ayler Trio Spiritual Unity (ESP-Disk' 1002) mono
Ayler (ts) with Gary Peacock (b) and Sunny Murray (perc).
Recorded on 10 July 1964 in New York City.
Issue: White cover has "156 5th Avenue, New York 10010" on back. Orange record labels with track titles below hole and with "290 West End Avenue, N.Y., N.Y. 10023" below that. Underneath, five lines of esperanto text and "PRINTED IN U.S.A." on bottom.
Side A runout: [etched] ESP 1002 A M Side B runout: [etched] ESP ESPM1002 B Bill xxxx ?
Condition of Record: VG++. Tiny creases on label paper, just around hole, but no spindle wear. Factory-made vinyl smears, plus a couple of thumb prints, but not a palpable mark on either side. Record is completely blemish-free, clean.
White album front cover reveals very minor ringwear on top, right side, and bottom. Slight pinching, or crease, at bottom. White back cover has a little more ringwear. All text and images fine, clear. Price handwritten in very small figures, in ink, in lower right corner. Spine is very good, all text clear, with top corner bumped and bottom corner with quarter-inch tear of paper. Top horizontal edge has fraying (but no split) for three inches toward closed end. Bottom horizontal edge is fine, no split or shelfwear at all.
I'm an independent seller divesting his own record collection. I'm not selling from a store or warehouse, with multiple copies of titles, or on behalf of a professional collector.
Shipping: Ebay requires seller to indicate shipping methods and other particulars, then automatically inserts the cost at the top of the listing. Buyer will pay amount as determined by destination, by shipping method he chooses, and by required insurance (see: below); I don't gouge the price to make more profit. (USPS Media Mail is cheapest; I will provide prices for US Priority, or for FedEx or UPS ground, if requested.)
Insurance is mandatory on shipments to US addresses: The final price of the item determines the amount of insurance required. Please wait till I inform you of your total cost prior to submitting payment. It and not Ebay's stated cost is the amount to be paid.
**For winners outside US**: USPS shipping options are International Priority and International Express. Both methods include insurance but only Express provides a return receipt. (Check USPS's website for shipping prices.) If you want a private-company shipper, I will quote you the cost at end of auction. First-Class-Package service, which doesn't include insurance, is an option; the shipping cost will be lower, but if your item doesn't arrive you have no recourse. The risk is yours.
Packing: The LP will be carefully wrapped, then placed in a standard, cardboard LP box. Please indicate any special instructions.
Payment: I accept Paypal. I also accept cash in cases of in-person deliveries.
Returns: Returns will be accepted in cases of error in description.
