Description
Up for grabs is a rare vinyl copy of Miles Davis's posthumous release Doo-Bop from June 1992. This is a German pressing produced at Warner Music Manufacturing Europe's plant in Alsdorf. Expanding on Davis's proclivities toward fusion from the late '60s onward, this very contemporary-sounding album mixes the famous trumpeter's grooves with rap and hip hop beats to produce a kind of fusion that anticipated the eclecticism of Branford Marsalis's Buckshot LeFonque outfit and the work of Medeski, Martin, and Wood later in the 1990s. Having been a youth in the '90s, the song "High Speed Chase" sounds particularly to my ears like inspiration for some of the music composed by Yuzo Koshiro for Streets of Rage 2 on the Sega Genesis, and the raps of "The Doo-Bop Song" and "Blow" provide an interesting counterpoint to Davis's distinctive vibrato-free playing, making much of the album feel like a surreal experiment from a distant galaxy. So familiar, yet so distant!
The album still rates NM, with clear sonics and wear-free sides. The jacket has a tag priced in Deutsche Marks from a Saturn record store on the back near the barcode (see pictures) and the start of a mild seam split at the top-centre of the sleeve. Happy bidding on this rare and unique masterpiece!

"Quality items at reasonable prices from an eccentric merchant!"
As a math teacher and long-time record buyer with a definite passion for both vocations, I am excited to continue to make available LPs I have collected over the last fourteen years but now need to winnow from my shelves. The items I will be posting include quite a range of genres and interests – soundtracks, specialty records, and albums ranging from the typical mainstream to the unexpectedly weird. Check back often to see what surprises I’ve got in store!
Please note my conditions of sale:
-I use Goldmine standards to rate my albums, and I seek to do so conservatively. Items will often receive both a visual check and a playgrade, so that I can review the material one last time and also listen for any differences between audible quality and my visual perception of an album's surface. If there are any potential flaws in an item, I will make sure you know about those upfront. As a rule, I will not attempt to sell records that rate below VG for the total package (unless the item in question is rare or hard to come by). Because I deal largely in used stock and will be thorough in explaining an item's condition, please note that all sales are "as is" and final – returns are not accepted.
-I ship through USPS services to destinations in the U.S. only. All records will be packed sturdily with quality outer cardboard, with records and innersleeves removed from jackets to avoid seam splits on used items. Because of the demands of my work schedule, all shipping will go out twice a week, by Wednesday (if an album was purchased the previous weekend) and by Saturday (for all later purchases or payments).
-I will accept payments for items through PayPal only. If you win one or more of my auctions, please make sure items are paid for within 7 days of the listing's end. Please note that I open failure-to-pay cases against those who do not pay or make any attempt to communicate with me within my stated timeframe. Please do not bid or commit to buy if you don't intend to follow through with a payment.
-Shipping will be at cost to the buyer, through Media Mail. I charge a starting fee of $3.17 for one album, then 50 cents per each additional LP in your order.
-I will always be willing to combine shipping on multiple wins/purchases. Just make sure to request an invoice prior to completing your purchase.
-The bottom line: I will make every attempt to insure your satisfaction as my customer. Let me know of any problems prior to posting negative or neutral feedback, as this will help me to refine my services and better serve my fellow record collectors out there. Enjoy!
