Evolution was self-funded and released as a private-pressing and, as holy grail record rarities in the world go, this album ranks high with only around 400 copies ever pressed. Growing up in New Orleans, during the 1960s Lee became a part of the city's thriving rhythm and blues scene playing sessions with everyone from Eddie Bo to Willie Tee, before moving to New York in the 1970s as part of Roy Ayers' group and also working with Lonnie Liston Smith, Harold Alexander, Leon Thomas and many other talented artists as a session drummer, recording for radical independent labels such as Flying Dutchman, Strata-East and India Navigation.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD:

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)            The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3  (front side) and 2 (back side)

-        Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging (nothing significant)

-        Cover has some tiny, faint writing on its back side (a microscopic price code written in one corner)

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the top and bottom seams (nothing significant)

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
