Bird Up – The Originals

CD (Item 782150) Savoy, Late 40s/Early 50s — Condition: Used
$1.99 ...

CD

A great little sampler of the melodic genius of Charlie Parker – for the price of a latte! This set of 11 tunes serves as the source grooves for the new Bird Up remix project that features a number of DJ's and musicians building on the blueprint Parker groove with their own elements. But this one features the original tunes, with performers like the young Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach and others who went on to huge success as leaders after the Parker era. Includes "Now's The Time", "Relaxin' At Camarillo", "Salt Peanuts", "Bird Of Paradise", "Cheers", "Bebop", "Barbado's", "Constellation" and more.  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

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 only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

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 describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
