• IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE BIDDING:
  

If you are hysterical because of a scratch on the record or something else about record please don't bid here. It is included in grading. It's not like you "thought anything else" other than what is graded by us. 

We grade records in detail and are one step ahead with the grading so that you can be satisfied.

There is no "misleading information here".

We are professionals and have stored and graded records over many, many years.

Our grading "mint" is mint and that means we don't want to see anything on the record and it should be like a new record. That's why we rarely use "mint grading".

I have seen many times that people use ex or near mint if the record is vg+. We have to maintain high standards so that music lovers are super satisfied.

Feedback:

There are two kinds of feedbacks on Ebay: One is visible: Positive, neutral and negative.

The second one is hidden and it is invisible to seller and is something like: How was the transaction and are you satisfied?

Both are very important to us because they affect us directly even if you write super positive main visible feedback and other feedback in the background is neutral or negative. It means "Game over" for us. Ebay have new policies all the time. We will be sanctioned by Ebay and we will not be able to sell again for many months to come.

It has happened to us because of a buyer who could not speak English and he thought something else. 

Please it's not fun and not honest. Remember, we want you to be satisfied above all else.

Better not to write anything at all than to write "so there" on visible or for us invisible feedback.

BUYERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS AND WE UNDERSTAND IT.
WE USE SWEDISH POST SERVICE RECOMMENDED EXTRA SAFE DELIVERY.

REVIEW ON REALGONEMUSIC:

Though it's hard to pick a winner among the estimable Black Jazz catalog, this 1972 release from bassist Henry 'The Skipper' Franklin would have to be near the top of the list. Franklin got his start woodshedding with Latin maverick Willie Bobo in the mid-'60s and went on to play with The Three Sounds, but probably his most notable gig prior to this debut album was his stint in Hugh Masekela's band (that's Franklin playing bass with Masekela at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival). For The Skipper, Franklin assembled a crack outfit that included a horn section of trumpeter/flugelhornist Oscar Brashear (Bobby Hutcherson, Ry Cooder, Donny Hathaway) and tenor & soprano sax man Charles Owens (Buddy Rich, Horace Tapscott, John Mayall) along with a Masekela bandmate in electric pianist Bill Henderson and ace drummer Michael Carvin (Pharoah Sanders, Lonnie Liston Smith, Freddie Hubbard). This is such a unique, organic recording that it's hard to make comparisons; definitely a little fusion, a little '60s Blue Note feel, and the usual Black Jazz journey to the more lyrical, pop-inspired ('Little Miss Laurie') and funk-infused ('Plastic Creek Stomp') sides of jazz, but perhaps the best comparison is late-'60s Miles before he went electric. In any case, The Skipper is just a joy to listen to from start to finish, beautifully recorded by Black Jazz producer Gene Russell and blessed with some really fine writing, most of it by Franklin himself. 

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.

WE WILL ALWAYS PREFER TO GRADE OUR RECORDS FAIRLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.

SLEEVE:

SLEEVE HAVE A PUNCH HOLE.SEE PICTURE

THERE IS ONE STICKER WITH SOM NUMBER ON THE FRONT. SOMEONE TRYED TO REMOVE IT .

SEE PICTURE.

SLEEVE HAVE SOME CURVING AROUND 5MM FRONT UP IN THE RIGHT CORNER .SEE PICTURE.

THERE ARE VERY MINIMAL RING WEAR ON THE FRONT AND BACK. NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. SEE PICTURE.

THERE ARE SOME MINIMUM WEAR ON THE CORNERS, AND ON THE EDGES. NOTHING SIGNIFICANT. SEE PICTURE.

THERE ARE SOME MINIMUM POINTS WHERE SLEEVE LOST BLACK COLOR.NOTHING SIGNIFICANT.SEE PICTURE

OTHERWISE SLEEVE IS CLEAN .

WE GRADE SLEEVE VG++(VERY GOOD++)

VINYL:

VINYL HAVE SOME SUPERFICIAL ABRASIONS-MOSTLY SLEEVE SCUFFS OR SOME KIND OF SUPERFICIAL (CIRCULAR STAINS) THAT BECAME STAINS BECAUSE OF THE LONG TIGHT CONTACT OF INNER SLEEVE WITH THE RECORD BUT ARE PROBABLY INAUDIBLE. MAYBE THERE IS SOME  MINIMUM BACKGROUND NOISE BUT NOT MUCH DISTURBED FOR THE MUSIC. THE MUSIC TAKES OVER.THE SOUND IS FANTASTIC.

WE GRADE RECORD LESS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE VISUAL STAINS VG+(VERY GOOD+)
