Label: Impulse
Reference Number : A-75

Date: 1964

Extremely rare promo only version with white label, RVG in dead wax and single sleeve cover with microphone photo on one side and liner notes on the other. Very few of these were pressed. They were sent to reviewers well in advance of release due to the long lead time for print reviews. Record has a few light sleeve scuffs and plays with a couple random clicks. Overall plays near mint. Cover has a 4 inch split on the bottom seam at the open end and a name, date and "File under jazz misc" written in ballpoint at the top of the notes side of the cover. Cleaned on a Keith Monks record cleaning machine and stored in an audiophile quality sleeve.

Musicians - Oliver Nelson, Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard, George Barrow, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes

If we do play grade a record, we will let you know about any noise or flaws in detail in our description. You may or may not agree with our grade or grading system but our description will be complete and accurate for you to make your own grade assessment. Generally, we do not list records below EX- condition unless it is exceptionally rare. We do not recommend audiophiles bid on records in less than NM condition. Our grading standard is as follows.

Mint is only used for sealed records or records that we are certain have never been played.

NM or Near Mint is for the most part as good as it gets! No marks and will play clean with no noise unless inherent in the pressing.

EX+ Will generally have minor flaws like sleeve scuffs, but will overall be near mint.

EX or Excellent will have light surface marks and some light background noise in spots and/or a couple light clicks or ticks.

EX- Overall an Excellent copy with light surface marks, but with something that distracts, like a small scratch that makes a few pops or a few light repetitive clicks.

VG+ Consistent background noise or a few pops. No skips or sticking. Still a playable copy.

VG will have problems. Noise will dominate. May have quite a few pops and possibly a quick skip. Groove distortion possible.

VG- Will probably have a skip or two and will be noisy throughout.

G = Our lowest grade and is actually a poor record.

Cover grading -

Mint = perfect!

NM = Damn near perfect, at most a minor corner impact.

EX+ = Overall near mint but with up to 3 minor flaws such as a minor corner impact, small amount of writing like a name or date or less than 1/2 inch split or very slight shelf wear.

EX = May have one split up to 3 inches, light shelf wear, corner impact up to 1/2 inch or light shelf wear.

EX- Splits up to 3 inches or one split up to 5 inches, light to moderate shelf wear or ring wear.

VG+ = Possible full length split on one seam, moderate shelf wear but still holding together plus other flaws.

VG = splits, wear, a filler cover.

VG- or below = rough! All cover flaws will be well described.
