William S. Fischer – Circles – Debut Jazz Funk-Experimental Jazz Vinyl LP – OG

$

53

This brilliant pianist, saxophonist, and composer/arranger began working with the great R&B artists, including Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, and Big Joe Turner, in the mid 50’s. Later you will see his contributions to the works of multiple jazz artists including Pharoah Sanders, Joe Zawinul, and Yusef Lateef. He also recorded four albums leading his own group. Each of these albums is an adventure in experimental jazz. This is his powerful debut. It is an eclectic collection of beautiful soul jazz, jazz rock, and funk mixed in with some of the most mind-boggling ethereal sounds you can imagine. It’s a beautiful album that was released on Embryo in 1970, number SD 529. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The unipak album cover shows ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a one inch scrape in the middle of the top seam. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The bottom right corner has a one inch cutout notch. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  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 static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this 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, because this does happen.  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 having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

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 be shipped for $21.  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.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  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.
