Akai Glass

LP (Item 939043) Decca (Japan), Early 60s — Condition: Very Good
Gatefold
One of those cool Japanese-only albums from tenorist Sam The Man Taylor – with titles that include "Akai Glass", "Johnny Guitar", "Sans Toi Mamie", "Tokyo Blues", and "Kageo Shitaite".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Cover has a small name on the bottom, but is nice overall.)

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

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.

Excellent work from this soulful piano combo – a group who were a lot like the Three Sounds, but who added in extra percussion on congas and bongos from the great Percy France!
