Description
Up for auction is an incredibly rare album by piano great Bud Powell on Blue Note records from 1951 on 10' microgroove. This record is getting increasingly harder to find especially in the condition this one is.
The record itself has only a few light scuffs and plays quite well with imperfections in sound. These records were not of the highest sound quality in any case because of the microgroove technology that was used to get them down to 10'
but overall I would give the record a grading of VG.
The Cover has been kept in fantastic condition and grades at VG+, the colour is still vibrant and there is minimal ware on the corners for a 62 yr old record.
Please read my shipping and grading policies before bidding.
Thanks!
Below is a brief description of my grading techniques which are a combination of play and visual grading.
Record Grading
SS: Still Sealed
NM: Record is absolutely flawless, beautiful shine and no scratches.
NM-: Has one or two of the smallest marks or some scuffing that may have to do with way the vinyl was pressed and not because of general ware.
VG+: Record still has a nice shine and only a few minor scuffs, no feelable scratches. Record plays with minimal distortion.
VG: An average record, everyday ware like scratches and scuffs, but no more than one or two significant marks. Plays with some distortion but not enough to ruin the sound completely.
VG-: Record has quite a few scratches and marks and does not play at a very high level. Many of the scratches may be deep and produce clicks and pops.
G+: Record is still somewhat salvageable, plays with a lot of distortion, many deep scratches.
G: Almost completely mashed and unplayable.
Cover Grading
SR: Indicates the record is still in its original shrink wrap, but has been opened. This is used in combination with the grades below.
NM: Perfect cover, no damage to the corners or images on the cover.
NM-: One or two little marks on a corner.
VG+- Corners may have a little wear, slight ring ware.
VG: Some ring ware or general ware on the seams or corner.
VG-: Split seams on one side, corner ware and ware on the cover, images may be faded, sticker damage.
G+- Split seams and bad ware, but image on the front may be ok.
G- Everything looks awful, hanging by a thread.

Shipping
US and Canada buyers pay $13 for the first LP and $3 for each additional LP
International Buyers Pay $20 for the first LP and $3.50 for each additional LP
Shipping from Canada is expensive, I usually loose a dollar or two on shipping at these prices so please don’t ask me to come down on it.
I pack all of my items with the utmost care between multiple boards of cardboard and wrapped in a lot of heavy tape but I recommend adding insurance for items which are on the expensive side as I do not offer a guarantee on records damaged by the post office.
Shipping to very remote lands like Australia and Japan will cost more and will not be insured; it’s recommended that you do not order items from me if you live in a place very far away as I cannot guarantee they will arrive in a reasonable amount of time or at a reasonable cost.
Thanks for Looking!
