Description

  • Artist & Title: The John Coltrane Quartet - Africa / Brass 
  • Label & Cat #: 1961 Impulse! – AS-6 Stereo *Stereo A-6 (cover)  AS-6 (label). Probably very first stereo issue.
  • Matrix Info: Matrix / Runout (Side A & B): AS-6.A RVG STEREO // AS-6.B RVG STEREO
  • Vinyl Grade: Very Good Plus (VG+) play graded *very nice playable copy that has a small amount of surface noise interference. "Africa" track starts with a light 'whooshing' sound for first 15 revolutions and then dissipated. "Greensleeves" presented some sparse lo-grade background noise in middle of track; there is also a surface blem on "Blues Minor" which did not greatly affect play.
  • Cover Grade: Good Plus (G+) *gatefold jacket has quite a bit of wear that includes some seam wear, ring wear color fade, staining & foxing on inside of gatefold and back cover, some 'bubble' spots in paper along opening edge.
  • Notes: John Coltrane's debut for the Impulse label was a bit unusual, for the great tenor and his quartet were joined by a medium-sized backup group on Eric Dolphy arrangements of "Africa," "Greensleeves," and "Blues Minor." Tenor Saxophone – John Coltrane, Piano – McCoy Tyner, Bass – Jimmy Garrison, Drums – Elvin Jones

Thank you for visiting dBeat Records !
GRADING STANDARDS: (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
