Israel

LP (Item 73555) CTI/A&M, 1968 — Condition: Very Good+
Gatefold
Very groovy stuff – one of 2 albums cut by the Kai and JJ team for CTI in the early days! The album's a mellow mix of jazz and easy – with larger arrangements by Kai, JJ, and Don Sebesky – all exploring the more spacious side of things, as either of the main players solo over the top on trombone. The style's a great one to breathe new life into the team – and is even more wonderful if you dig the early CTI sound from their A&M years! Titles include "Israel", "Catherine's Theme", "Django", "Never My Love", and "Am I Blue".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Tan label stereo pressing. Cover has light surface wear, some aging, and gloss peel on the back opening.)

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.

K + JJ – East Coast Jazz Series No 7
Bethlehem, Mid 50s. Very Good

Giant Box
CTI, 1973. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold

California Concert
CTI, 1971. Very Good 2LP Gatefold

Cherry (80s pressing)
CTI, 1972. Very Good+
One of the best CTI albums from the early 70s – and one of Stanley Turrentine's funkiest records as well!

Closeness
Horizon/A&M, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold

Stanley Turrentine meets Bob James – on a record that's one of the 70s classics on CTI!

LP, Vinyl record album
Horizon/A&M, 1976. Near Mint- Gatefold
Mindblowing music from the great Don Cherry – quite a statement, given how much fantastic sounds Cherry had already given us by this point in his career!

First Light
CTI, 1972. Near Mint- Gatefold
Sweet early CTI work from trumpeter Freddie Hubbard – the kind of groundbreaking electric jazz that really helped him find a new space in the 70s!

CTI, 1973. Very Good+ Gatefold
A legendary album from the 70s funk scene – and one of the crowning achievements of keyboard maestro Eumir Deodato!
