Mostly Blues

LP (Item 199227) Musical Heritage Society, 1989 — Condition: Near Mint-
Two late 80's small group sessions – with Bobby Scott on piano, Joe Beck on guitar, Bob Cranshaw or Anthony Jackson on bass, and Grady Tate or Chris Parker on drums.  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or 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, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Lionel Hampton Quintet
Clef, 1954. Very Good
One of these excellent early 50s albums that Hamp cut for Verve – most of which feature him like this, stretching out a lot more than in the early days, working with a small combo of top-line players that each get plenty of room to solo.

A legendary collection of work from Sun Ra – rare 60s New York recordings from the Arkestra archive, put together at the end of the 80s, at a time when there was very little Ra material on the market!

Groove Merchant, 1975. Near Mint- Gatefold
A record that's got maybe one of the worst covers ever for legendary altoist Lee Konitz – and that's saying a lot, given that he recorded hundreds of albums – but a set that's also well worth dipping into, as it's got some wonderful surprises along the way!
