John McLaughlin-Where Fortune Smiles-1971 Jazz NM/E Fairly Rare First Pressing
Where Fortune Smiles is a free jazz LP credited to John McLaughlin, John Surman, Dave Holland, Karl Berger, and Stu Martin, which was recorded in 1970 and released in 1971 in a stereo format. Jazz critic Scott Yanow wrote: “McLaughlin's raw sound was starting to take shape by this time and his impeccable chops are on full display. So too are those of the underrated vibraphonist Karl Berger and, of course, soprano saxophonist Surman. The foundation is held loosely in place by bassist Dave Holland and drummer Stu Martin.
John McLaughlin also known as Mahavishnu, is an English guitarist, bandleader, and composer. A pioneer of jazz fusion, his music combines elements of jazz with rock, world music, Indian classical music, Western classical music, flamenco, and blues.
Combined shipping is offered for up to 3 single LPs or 2 double LPs.
An archival quality poly-lined inner sleeve as well as a 3 mil outer sleeve are provided to protect your investment.
Records have been cleaned as found through the Library of Congress Archival website found at https://www.loc.gov/preservation/care/record.html It is, however, recommended that all records, even sealed records, be given a thorough cleaning prior to play.
Please note that all records are conscientiously graded. Every effort is taken to grade accurately, and additional pictures are provided as necessary to prevent any undue surprises. Should you feel that you haven't received the value you paid for, free returns will be gladly accepted. Sealed records must be returned in original sealed condition.
Goldmine standards are used on all records as follows:
Mint (M)-A perfect record in every way. This grading will never be used even on a sealed album. Near Mint (NM or M-) - A nearly perfect record including labels. Shiny vinyl with no visible defects. Labels have no writing or stickers nor are any spindle marks visible. Covers have no creases, ring wear, or splits of any kind. *Additionally, Near Mint Minus (NM-) is used to indicate a nearly perfect record with nice shiny vinyl that may have one or two very fine hairline scratches or some very minor scuffs that would have no effect on play. Very Good+ or Excellent (VG+ or E) - VG+ records will show slight signs of wear including light scuffs or fine scratches and the label may have spindle marks. Covers may show some creasing and minor ring wear and cut-outs or punch-holes. Splits less than 1 inch long may also be present. Writing and/or stickers may also be present. *Excellent is used to indicate a record better than very good plus. In general, an excellent record will have nice gloss and very few fine scratches and/or light paper scuffs. The cover will have no splits and no major creases. Very Good (VG) - May have scratches feelable with a fingernail. Most of the original gloss will be gone or it may be evident that the record has been played extensively. The cover will have ring wear and may have significant splitting of the seams.
