This is one of the pinnacle recordings of the European free jazz movement. Given the special "crown" treatment in the Penguin Guide to Jazz as well as numerous 5 star treatments in most reviews.

A few notes: I DO NOT use the "EX" rating. I use NM and VG+ : anything that does not meet these collectible grades will not be listed by me! My VG+ records will give explanations for the grading and are ALWAYS play graded! My VG+ usually amount to what other people list as NM- or EX. I use very conservative grading to make sure all buyers are very satisfied with their purchase. Please browse my feedback and bid with confidence. All pictures are of the actual records that are for sale.

SHIPPING: International bidders please ignore E-bays automated shipping as it is terrible and almost always overstates international shipping.

I charge $15.00 for airmail $1.00 each additional record. Canada is $10.00 for airmail.

Domestic buyers: E-bay limits what I can charge for shipping. If you enjoy the perils of media mail then that is $3.00.

If you prefer fast and safe delivery via fedex, shipping in U.S. with insurance is only $6.00!!! For up to three records. You simply can't beat that.
