Lui - S/T hawaii jazz LP rare private press  

Description

You are bidding on Lui - S/T vinyl private press LP on the Lui Productions imprint (1978). Impossibly rare Hawaii private press record with both jazz and traditional Hawaiian leanings. A mix of original songs and some standards. The instrumentation is really the stand out here, with impressive sax and guitar. Excellent rendition of my Funny Valentine with an innovative drum break down. I would be surprised if you see this one anytime soon. I've never seen it on e-bay, and only twice in the field. Good luck!

Songs: Kaanapali, My Lover, Paniolo Country, What I Did For Love, Oh,Oh I Think I'm Falling In Love, Beyond the Reef, People's Happiness, My Funny Valentine, Missy, Hawaiian Wedding Song.

Condition:

vg+=still has original shrink on outside of record, a very light discolormation mark on the back, as seen in the pictures, but otherwise very clean!

vg+=some very light sleeve rubs, plays like a nm-

Bamboo Man Grading Scale a.k.a the Goldmine Standard:

MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
