Aeray Dust

LP (Item 15311) Chiaroscuro, 1977 — Condition: Very Good+
A wild bit of electronics meets jazz – performed by Bruce Ditmas on moog and ARP, with additional percussion and vocals by Joan La Barbara, and trumpet by Enrico Rava! The sound is very wild and over the top – with a lot more noise than jazz overall, despite the other players on the set – and Ditmas gets a very hip sound from his assorted banks of modulators! Tracks include "Face To Face To Face", "Terminal Velocity", "Tactics Of Despair", and "Aeray Dust".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Electric Byrd
Blue Note, 1970. Very Good

Prestige, 1956. Very Good-

Columbia, 1971. Very Good+
A masterful tribute from one bad cat to another – and easily one of Miles Davis' greatest electric albums ever!
