This legendary artist is most famously recognized as the pianist in the legendary John Coltrane Quintet and Orchestra.  He appeared on so very many of Coltrane’s most historic albums including “A Love Supreme”, “Ballads”, “My Favorite Things”, and their live album at the Village Vanguard.  Tyner was a driving force behind Coltrane’s evolution.  With his five Grammy Awards and his earning the NEA Jazz Master status, he was an inspiration to countless musicians.  But he didn’t just work with Coltrane.  He was also a brilliant band leader and arranger. He recorded over 70 albums as leader and was performing and recording up until his very recent passing.  This beautiful collection teams Tyner with an incredible cast featuring Wayne Shorter on tenor, Gary Bartz on alto, Elvin Jones on drums, Ron Carter on bass, Alice Coltrane on harp, and Rudy Van Gelder overseeing the session. The album was released on Blue Note in 1972, number BN-LA006-F.  This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play.  It plays with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There is a name written on the back. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
