$

31

During his all too short lifetime Eric Dolphy established himself as one of the great multi-instrumental jazz artists of the last century.  He was a powerful musician on alto sax, clarinet, and flute.  You will hear all of that on this incredible collection. The full title of this triple album set is “Musical Prophet (The Expanded 1963 New York Studio Sessions)”. It is a limited edition release that includes two of Dolphy’s most unforgettable recordings, each with bonus tracks that were previously unreleased. The third album is a collection of seven addition previously unreleased recordings. This is a beautiful music free jazz experience!  Dolphy is supported here by several other jazz giants including Woody Shaw on trumpet, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Richard Davis on bass, and Clifford Jordan on soprano sax.  The album was released on Resonance Records in 2018, number HLP-9035.  This is the original release of the album. It is the Deluxe Limited Edition release of the album, number 1457 of 3000. The insert 20-page booklet with extensive liner notes and photos is included. The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. There is a small spot of sticker residue on the front. The original label inner sleeves are included and have all seams intact. The cover grades NM.

Grading Information:

I always clean and listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.

I use four grades in grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. 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 noise. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects 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.  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 owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:

The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $7.00 in the continental U.S. I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $7.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Also, please keep in mind that if your entire transaction totals $50 or more, I will pay the entire shipping cost.

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 typically cost approximately $28. 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.

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $30.  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.

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
