ECM-1097

COVER: (VG+) 

VINYL:(VG+) Conservatively Graded

I first became enamored with ECM Records in the mid-seventies with Chick Corea's "Return To Forever" release and the cut "Crystal Silence".

The beautiful recording and the album art direction drew me in for life.

I am opening-up my Jazz/Jazz Fusion collection for sale. Many of the discs offered are Radio/Store Promo copies that have Cut-outs, Gold Promo Stamps, White Promo Labels, and stickers. 

Therefore most covers will be graded as Very Good Plus (VG+) and the vinyl will be conservatively rated as Very Good Plus (VG+)

All grading is conducted visually using an Industrial DAYTON

Illuminated Magnifying Lamp.

Prior to shipping, all records are professionally cleaned with a VPI RCM

using L'art du Son cleaning fluid.

All records are professionally packed and shipped.

A variation on Goldmine Grading.

MINT (M): Perfect Factory sealed

MINT MINUS (M-): COVER: Original shrink wrap-opened (OSW-O)

Looks just came from the store. 

VINYL: Shiny with no visible defects.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

COVER: Minor wear. Minor Seam Spl;its (SS) one inch or less

Some defacing: Cut-out notches (CON) Promo imprints or stickers.

Minor tape/label residue.

I only list records that I have graded as MINT (M), MINT MINUS (M-), or VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
