~ review ~


in an odd bit of programming, Columbia placed the
ballads from Miles Davis' February 12, 1964 concert on
My Funny Valentine  and the uptempo romps on this LP with
Davis probably a bit bored by some of his repertoire and
energized by the teenage Tony Williams' drumming performing
many of his standards at an increasingly faster pace as time
went on. These versions of "So What," "Walkin'," "Four," "Joshua"
"Seven Steps to Heaven" and even "There Is No Greater Love" are
remarkably rapid, with the themes quickly thrown out before Davis
George Coleman and Herbie Hancock take their solos. This is
highly recommended and rather exciting music & is one of the last
times Davis would be documented playing a full set of standards

~ Our Record Condition Guide ~


since everyone has their own ideas about grading the condition
of records, we've decided to spell out how we do it. our descriptions are
also extremely thorough & individually note flaws that a generic condition grade
cannot. we also occasionally assign a + and - for in-between grades

Mint

perfect, never played & usually still factory sealed

Near Mint

nearly perfect with almost no signs of handling

Excellent

the slightest visual wear that in no way interferes with the sound

 Very Good +

light visible signs of handling & wear but well taken care of
and plays with only mellow occasional crackle and/or soft pops but 
nothing interfering with enjoying the record/artwork

Very Good

obviously used & handled, but not mishandled, with no skips,
repeats or bad noise, but with noticeable crackle, pops & soft tics or
artwork defects, but nothing too bad overall

 Very Good -

considerable visible wear & background noise with possible
skips, repeats, tics and cover flaws, but still enjoyable & would
be obviously well-used and somewhat mishandled

So-So

anything below VG- which we rarely sell, except
for really rare records that are worth listing only because
they're so hard to find & sought-after in any condition

Disclaimer

not everyone's turntable sounds & functions the same 
but we have a nice sensitive set-up that makes flaws very obvious to us
and we try to note everything we ear and see. while vinyl is an awesome sounding format,
there is almost always some sort of background noise while listening to a record.
we are just about as picky as anyone, so trust us
but be sure to read our descriptions carefully!
