Hussain is the preeminent table player in the world.  He also is a brilliant composer, producer, and has even been an actor.  But his talents and skills with the tabla are what have made in an international phenomenon.  He was a child prodigy born in India.  He gave his first concert at the age of 7.  At age 19 he came to the US to tour with Ravi Shankar. After the tour he stayed in the US and continued to train and perform.  In 1999 he was awarded a National Endowment For The Arts National Heritage Fellowship.  He has recorded nearly 150 albums and is still performing and recording today.  This is a truly beautiful album recorded with support from some of the greatest musicians in the world.  You’ll hear his stunning compositions performed with John McLaughlin on guitar, Jan Garbarek on saxophones, and Hariprasad Chaurasia on flute.  The album was released on ECM in 1987, number ECM 1349 and ECM 831 544-1.  This is the original release of the album.  This album is pressed on virgin vinyl.  When you hold the album up to a bright light you will see that it is translucent grey.  This is an audiophile recording.  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 gatefold album cover shows no ring wear and no corner or edge wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades NM.

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.  Very 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

As of January 26, 2020, all international shipping rates have gone up 25%.  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 $19.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to five albums 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. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $27 and each subsequent is just an additional $10. 

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.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
