- Description
Some bargain free jazz that sits nicely with Ayler, Shepp or Cherry during this period. Don't think the Canadian reissue of this '69 (nice) release has hit the markets in three years, not a lot of these out there.
Condition
How we grade
Every copy gets two 1–10 scores — the vinyl itself and the sleeve — mapped to the Goldmine standard collectors use everywhere:
| 10 | M | Mint — sealed or flawless |
| 9 | NM | Near Mint — looks unplayed |
| 8 | VG+ | Very Good Plus — light signs of careful use |
| 7 | VG | Very Good — visible wear, plays through |
| 6 | G+ | Good Plus — well-played, no skips |
| 5 | G | Good — significant wear, fully playable |
| 4 | F | Fair — rough, priced accordingly |
| 3 | P | Poor — a filler copy, you were warned |
| 2 | GEN | Generic or replacement sleeve (sleeve only) |
| 1 | — | Missing — no sleeve at all (sleeve only) |
We don't sell media graded below 3 (P).

The ritual
what every record goes through before it reaches you-
01
Played first
Every record gets a needle test before it's listed. If it doesn't play clean, it doesn't get posted.
-
02
Matrix-matched
The dead-wax runouts are read character by character and matched to the exact Discogs pressing — this one, not one like it.
-
03
Graded Goldmine
Media and sleeve graded separately to the Goldmine standard, as honestly as our ears and eyes allow. The grade sets the price.
-
04
Washed
Every disc runs through the HumminGuru record washer — goat-hair brushes, alcohol-free fluid — and dries on the rack before it's shelved. Dust is not a genre.
-
05
Fresh outer
Slipped into a brand-new outer sleeve, so the jacket you get stays the jacket we graded.
-
06
Packed apart
Before boxing, the vinyl comes out of the jacket and rides beside it — the old mailer trick that stops seam splits in transit.
