Herbie Hancock – The Prisoner – Post-Bop Jazz Vinyl LP-Blue Note – Joe Henderson

$

21

Herbie Hancock is one of the most highly regarded jazz pianists of all-time.  He gained early notoriety when he played with Miles Davis at age 23.  Over the years he was at the forefront of many revolutions in jazz, but most notably with his jazz funk and jazz fusion recordings.  This was his seventh album overall, and his last with Blue Note.  It features brilliant support from Joe Henderson on tenor.  Hancock dedicated this album to Martin Luther King. It is a stunning collection that Hancock is quoted as saying allowed him to get as close as possible to his “real self”.  It is beautiful.  The album was released on Blue Note label in 1973, number BST-84321.  This is a reissue of the album originally released in 1969.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear.   All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a bullet hole near the top right corner.  The original label lined inner sleeve is included and has all seams intact.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $25.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
