ITEM INFORMATION: Rated 5 stars LP by All Music Jazz. The review states, ”It is strange to realize that drummer Pete La Roca only led two albums during the prime years of his career, for his initial date is a classic. La Roca's three originals (‘Basra,’ which holds one's interest despite staying on one chord throughout, the blues ‘Candu,’ and the complex ‘Tears Come From Heaven’) are stimulating but it is the other three songs that really bring out the best playing in the quartet (which is comprised of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Steve Kuhn, and bassist Steve Swallow in addition to La Roca). ‘Malaguena’ is given a great deal of passion, Swallow's ‘Eiderdown’ (heard in its initial recording) receives definitive treatment, and the ballad ‘Lazy Afternoon’ is both haunting and very memorable; Henderson's tone perfectly fits that piece.”

A great Blue Note LP and a worthy addition to a quality jazz record collection.

I am a 30-year collector of great classical, jazz, soundtracks and rock records. I started in late 2008 with a sale of a limited number of the best items in my collections. This is my 12th sale in 2010. These records will be of the highest quality and desirability. Expect to bid on rare LP’s of Furtwangler, Bernard Herrmann, string and piano artists and jazz artists. Many fine TAS-listed or TAS-type audiophile records will be included as well. At this time I can not take wish-list items, but please add me to your favorites list for upcoming offerings.

GRADING: Sealed LP’s are noted in their description. I grade by both visual inspection and play. Mint is not used. Near Mint is my highest grade and should play problem free; VG++ should play problem free or with noted shortcomings noted in write-up.  VG+ is listed with any shortcomings noted in write-up. My description will be accurate. All items guaranteed, but I do not refund shipping costs.

I request that payment be made through PayPal only. Contact me via eBay mail if not possible. My items have no reserve. I ship worldwide and will combine winning bids to save on postage. I recommend all items that sell at $100.00 plus be shipped insured. Because of the value of some items, I may at my discretion require insurance. After bid closing, insurance amount will be calculated and then added to shipping fees reflecting in your invoice.

I have 100% positive feedback. Recent feedback entries left by LP Buyers state:

IF ITEM(S) NEED TO BE SENT PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL & INSURED DUE TO VALUE OR WEIGHT, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A PAYMENT BEFORE YOU RECEIVE YOUR INVOICE FROM ME. THIS IS DUE TO MAILING COSTS VARYING COUNRTY TO COUNTRY. THE CALCULATION EBAY PROVIDES IS NOT ACCURATE. A $15.00 charge for 1st Class International Mail for 1 LP (except Canada which is $9.00 airmail). Each additional LP is an additional $2.00.  My parcels normally weigh more due to extra padding. U S Shippers are allowed to send parcels by 1st Class International Mail that weight 4 pounds or less. Parcels that weight more than 4 pounds must be sent by Priority Mail International, which is more expensive.

FREQUENTCY OF SHIPPING: I do try and ship as quickly as I can, but sometimes it can take a week or so to send items out, depending on how many orders I have. Note that media mail can take three weeks from when I receive payment.
