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. 

All records are visually inspected using an Industrial DAYTON

Illuminated Magnifying Lamp.

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.
