MILFORD GRAVES & DON PULLEN “NOMMO” LP – IPS SRP LP290

One of the true grails of collectible free jazz records, and one of the most explosive duo sets ever.  Up there with Graves’ own “Babi” (issued on the same label and year as this LP) for raw power and ecstatic beauty.  As Byron Coley wrote, “It is unlikely that a combination w/ as much potential surface gleam as piano and drums ever sounded this dangerous again.”  Rare as hen’s teeth, and a must-have for the serious free-jazz fan.  WHY HASN’T THIS BEEN REISSUED???

Record – EX(-)

A couple tiny hairlines on Side A. Plays beautifully. Clean labels.

Cover – VG+(+)

1.5” seam-split in top-center, very light crease in lower-right. No tears or writing. Very nice overall.

Mint – Unplayed. I reserve this grade only for sealed records.

NM – Looks perfect, but has likely been played at least once. Covers don’t really exceed this grade.

EX – Very nice, save for one or two small defects such as a hairline scratch or paper scuff that doesn’t affect play. Record may have a pressing flaw such as a bubble or two that can be heard if listened to closely. Cover may show the very beginnings of ring-wear, have light staining or a very small corner bump.

VG+ - Still nice, but has definitely been played a bit by someone who takes good care of things. Record may have a few light scratches that are audible but do not detract much from the music, or a very slight warp that does not affect play.  Cover may be ring-worn a bit, have a small corner bump or two, a small seam-split or a light crease.

VG – Record has some very noticeable defects, such as a few scratches that are easily heard but do not cause skips. Record plays through fine and the music is still enjoyable, but there may be background noise throughout. Cover might have moderate ring wear, creasing or significant seam-splitting (3+”). In other words a decent playing and perfectly collectible copy until a nicer one comes along.

(+) and (-) next to grade indicate that the record or cover is either a hair above [(+)] or below [(-)] that grade.

I will not likely list anything deserving of a grade below VG.
