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.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

Possibly the first true moment of genius from Paul Bley – a key indie standout after a few years working for bigger American labels! By the time of this early ESP album, Paul Bley was no stranger to the American scene – having recorded a few records for different labels in the 50s, and ... CD
Paul Bley
Blues For RedRed (Italy), 1989. Used
"Blues" might be a surprising word for the title of an album by Paul Bley – especially given his modern inclinations – but the term definitely fits here, as this set of solo piano performances by Bley has a wonderfully moody, mellow quality – and a surprising amount of ... CD
Debut/OJC, 1953. Used
The earliest work on record from pianist Paul Bley – the Canadian modernist who'd become much better known for his more experimental work in later years, but who's heard here in a slightly straighter trio set! Even at this early point, though, Bley's talents are amazing – sharp-edged ... CD

Rare early work from pianist Paul Bley – some of his most compelling material from the time! The group features Steve Swallow on bass and Pete LaRoca on drums – and the CD features two records' worth of material – the famous Footloose session, and a whole other album! CD
Archie Shepp
True BalladsVenus (Japan), 1996. Used
Some folks only know Archie Shepp as a hard-blowing avant player, but we're always more than happy to give him his due as a soulful interpreter of ballads – as you'll hear on a record like this, a real gem from his later years! The tunes are all familiar standards, but done the Shepp way, ... CD
Denny Zeitlin
As Long As There's MusicVenus (Japan), 1997. Used
Beautiful sounds from pianist Denny Zeitlin – one of those players who often gets overlooked, but who's made some incredibly expressive music over the years! The album's got a sparkle that really takes us back to Denny's 60s sides for Columbia, but it's also got a slightly more mature ... CD
Derek Smith
To Love AgainVenus (Japan), 2008. Used
Solo piano from Derek Smith. Titles include "To Love Again", "The Bad And The Beautiful", "Moonlight Sonata–Yesterdays", "Glad To Be Unhappy", and "I Get Along With You Very Well". CD
Steve Kuhn
Temptation (Japanese paper sleeve edition)Venus (Japan), 2001. Used
A beautifully-balanced trio – the perfect piano of Steve Kuhn, warm basslines of Buster Williams, and soulful swing of Billy Drummond's drums – all wrapped up wonderfully in a set that's a great illustration of the Venus Records genius for turning out a session like this! Kuhn's all ... CD
Steve Kuhn
Pavane For A Dead PrincessVenus (Japan), 2005. Used
If that's the dead princess on the cover, we sure hope they put some clothes on her before the funeral! Jokes about the cover aside, though, the album's a sublime outing from pianist Steve Kuhn – a very unusual showcase for his talents, in that it features mostly tunes pulled from classical ... CD
Archie Shepp
True Blue (CDr pressing)Venus, 1998. Used
Great Shepp with a great group – a quartet that pairs Archie's amazing tenor with the piano of John Hicks! The album's one of the best of Archie Shepp's later ballad albums – and has a really standout feel, thanks to Hicks' warmer tones on the piano alongside Shepp's raspier notes. ... CD
Venus (Japan), 1992. Used Gatefold
A wonderfully majestic album by Pharoah Sanders – sort of a follow up to his Welcome To Love album of ballads and standards, but handled with a bit more of the expansive soul of some of his other recordings. Like that previous album, this one has Pharoah playing tenor in a quartet with ... CD
