Description
Alice Coltrane – Reflection On Creation And Space (A Five Year View)
1973 • US • Impulse! • AS-9232-2 • 2×Vinyl LP • Compilation • Stereo • Quadraphonic • Gatefold
Media Condition: VG+
Both records grade VG+ with scattered sleeve lines, speckling, and shiny spots that should not affect playback.
Cover Condition: G+
The gatefold cover grades G+ with moderate ring wear, most pronounced around the record impression and toward the bottom.
There is a drill hole in the lower right corner.
There is also evidence of water damage along the bottom of the cover. This is most visible inside the gatefold and on the back cover and is not readily apparent from the front.
Cleaning & Packing
The records have been ultrasonically cleaned prior to listing.
For shipping, the records are placed in protective inner sleeves and shipped outside of the jacket to help prevent seam splits during transit. The jacket is placed in a clear outer sleeve and the complete package is shipped in a stiffened LP mailer.
Simplified Goldmine Grading Guide
NM (Near Mint): A record showing virtually no signs of wear and playing cleanly with little to no surface noise. The cover is similarly clean with no significant defects.
VG+ (Very Good Plus): A well-cared-for record with light signs of handling or use. Minor sleeve marks, light scuffs, or very light scratches may be present, but they should have little to no effect on playback. Covers may have light wear but remain attractive and well preserved.
VG (Very Good): A record showing more noticeable signs of use, including visible scuffs, scratches, or groove wear. Some surface noise may be audible, particularly during quiet passages, but the record should remain an enjoyable listening copy without major playback problems. Covers may show moderate wear, such as ring wear, edge wear, creases, or small seam issues.
G+ (Good Plus): A heavily used record with significant visible wear. Surface noise, scratches, and groove wear will be noticeable during playback, but the record should still play through without skipping under normal circumstances. Covers may have substantial wear, seam splits, writing, tape, or other significant defects.
My Grading Approach
I grade conservatively using the Goldmine grading standard as my foundation. Unless a record is particularly rare or desirable, I generally do not sell media below VG condition.
I occasionally use designations such as VG++ or VG+ (low) to provide additional clarity, as I believe the VG+ category covers a very broad range of condition.
Records are visually graded unless otherwise specifically noted in the listing. When a record has been play tested, that will be clearly stated. Play-testing is performed on my system, and playback can vary somewhat between turntables, cartridges, stylus profiles, and system setups.
I spend considerable time inspecting and documenting each record so buyers know exactly what to expect. I am happy to play-test any record upon request prior to purchase.
If I have made a material grading error, I will gladly accept a return and make it right.
Please inspect all photos carefully, as they are considered part of the description. If you would like additional photos or have any questions regarding condition, pressing details, or playback, please ask before bidding or purchasing.
Please be sure to check out my other listings for additional jazz and collectible vinyl records. I am happy to combine shipping whenever possible.
