Step 1
LP (Item 22906) Solid State, Late 60s — Condition: Very Good+ Gatefold
Related searches
A pretty darn lively session from Jimmy, and one that features a tight combo that includes Larry Frazier on guitar and Fats Theus on tenor. The group grooves on some nice long tracks (longer than most of Jimmy's other Solid State session), with a tight rolling soul jazz groove that brings up the best sound of Prestige in the 60s. Tracks include "Step One", "Motoring Along", and "South Wes". © 1996-2024, 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.
