Original poly lined inner sleeves are in excellent condition.   Songs:Graphics 3/4 - Legendary Heroes - Vieux Carre Straight - Daisy Bones - Tenor No. 2 - Anamorphosis - Trumpet - Graphics 2/4   Notes:From Brian Olewnick at allmusic:  "Joe McPhee's double solo album Graphics was a major step in his discography, showcasing his enormous ability and range on several instruments as well as laying out the vast structural territories with which he would concern himself in upcoming years. The opening soprano sax track, "Graphics 3/4," and the short "Daisy Bones" show his clear indebtedness to Steve Lacy, all angles, edges, and skewed melodies, while his homage to Sidney Bechet revels in the blues and New Orleans. On this last piece, by intrepidly taking it into the further reaches of his horn, McPhee makes clear the lineage between the earliest forms of jazz and the avant-garde. Other pieces, like "Legendary Heroes," demonstrate his abiding interest in more abstract terrain, moving from percussion to two trumpets played simultaneously to anguished cries on tenor, all coalescing into an unusual but satisfying whole. Though still hugely under-recognized at the time of this live performance, it's clear that his musical conception was entering full formation, and one can hear him laying the groundwork for much of his future oeuvre. Unavailable on disc as of 2001, Graphics is a rare gem but a necessary one for the McPhee fan, and is well worth the trouble of seeking out both for its inherent beauty and as a key work in the career of one of the strongest players in the jazz avant-garde of the late 20th century."                  NO RESERVE

All unsealed LP's are thoroughly inspected and cleaned on a Nitty Gritty model 2.5 record cleaning machine. Many are then play graded on a high end turntable; if played it will be mentioned in the description. All come with a new 3 mil poly outer sleeve for protection. All unsealed LP's also are shipped inside a new inner sleeve to avoid edge splits to the original sleeve.

Grading

Mint Record : Perfect record. No marks or defects.

Mint Album cover: Perfect cover. No marks or defects.

M- or NM Record: Nearly perfect. High gloss. At most, a light scuff appears. Plays very well with no surface noise.

M- or NM Album cover: Nearly perfect with only minor signs of wear. There should be no ring wear.

VG++ Record: Very clean. Perhaps some light surface scuffs, no scratches. Should play and look very good with faint, if any, audible surface noise.

VG++ Album cover: Some minor ring wear, but otherwise the artwork should be mostly unaffected. Also, there can be some minor creases in the corners but no splits in seams.

VG+ Record: The record shows signs of use, but plays well despite quite visible surface marks and possibly some light scratches. This grading is often used for records which have not been cared for perfectly but still play well overall. A few very faint clicks may be allowed, and will be included in the description.

VG+ Album cover: May have corners that may be slightly bent, but not broken. There may be wear to the seams but no tears or holes. Perhaps some small writing.  

VG Record: Looks used, light scratches, no gouges. Still plays fairly well. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music.

VG Album cover: There may be seam splitting, but not complete separation of the sleeve panels from each other. There will be noticeable ring wear, but most of the cover should still be in good condition.
