Description

This brilliant Japanese guitarist realized his breakthrough moment with Gil Evans in the early 70’s. Jimi Hendrix had dreamed of recording an album with Evans but never got to experience that opportunity. When Evans began his search for a guitarist to fill that role, he ended his quest with his discovery of Kawasaki. The guitarist had just moved from Tokyo to New York City a few months earlier and was playing regular gigs at clubs around the city, highlighted by his performance at Lincoln Center as part of the Newport Jazz Festival. Soon after, Evans recruited him to play the Hendrix role in his classic “The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays The Music Of Jimi Hendrix”. Kawasaki soon signed a major label recording contract and became one of the leaders of the jazz fusion movement. This was his third solo album, and first with RCA. It is a landmark jazz fusion recording. The album was released on RCA Victor in 1976, number APL1-1855. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs. It plays with virtually no background noise. The vinyl grades NM. The album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. There is a cutout notch on the top seam near the open side. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay.  I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I will do both a visual check and an audio check.  I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.  I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. 

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package.  For Media Mail, shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S.  In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost.  In fact, I welcome it!  Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. 

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.

Thank you   for looking and please contact me with any questions.
