MILES DEFINITELY LAID OUT THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME WITH THIS FUSION MONSTER, AN INCREDIBLE LINE-UP INCLUDING ZAWINUL, SHORTER, McLAUGHLIN AND COREA CREATED A RECORDING THAT BREACHES MANY GENRES AND CAUSED A HUGE FURORE UPON RELEASE, HEAVY USE OF ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS AND VERY CLEVER IMPROVISATION SET THE BAR HIGH. SO FRESH AT THE TIME STILL SOUNDS AMAZING TODAY. THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB PLAYING CONDITION BUT AS USUAL THE FRAGILE UNLAMINATED SLEEVE HAS NOT FARED SO WELL.

THE FRAGILE UNLAMINATED E J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS FULLY INTACT WITH NO SPLITS, WITH BRIGHT UNFADED OUTER ARTWORK (STICKER REMOVAL MARK TOP RIGHT), THE CORNERS AND EDGES HAVE LIGHT WEAR AND THE SPINE IS FULLY READABLE. AT SOME POINT THE INNER BOTTOM EDGES HAVE BEEN STUCK TOGETHER, WHEN THESE EDGES WERE SEPARATED A TEAR HAS BEEN LEFT, THIS IS A GREAT SHAME AS APART FROM THIS FAULT THIS IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF THIS FRAGILE SLEEVE. AND BECAUSE OF THIS FAULT CAN ONLY BE GRADED GOOD.
BOTH DISCS ARE THICK FIRST UK PRESSINGS COMPLETE WITH ORANGE UK CBS LABELS. THE PLAYING SURFACES ARE SUPER CLEAN WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHINE, THE PLAYBACK THROUGHOUT ALL FOUR SIDES IS EXCELLENT DYNAMIC STEREO. A GREAT LOOKING AND PLAYING EXAMPLE OF THIS GROUNDBREAKING RECORDING, BOTH DISCS GRADED EXCELLENT.

I only charge Actual cost and always combine postage costs
