RON CARTER (LP/DEMONSTRATION) Blues Farm. 1979. Reissue. Jazz. CTI 8001. EX/NM

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Here is a jazz LP by Ron Carter called Blues Farm. Originally it came out in 1973, but this is a reissue in 1979 under CTI (Division of Creed Taylor Inc.) label CTI 8001. This is an instrumental LP. No vocals. The drummer is Billy Cobham, flutes is Hubert Laws, percussion is Ralph MacDonald, electric piano is Bob James and Richard Tee on organ. Bass and piccolo bass is Ron Carter. Comes in a beige inner sleeve. (Marked as Demonstration on record cover.) The cover is in great shape. On the front cover there is no ringwear, but the back cover has a little whitish ringwear at the top mid section and very lightly at the left side mid section and bottom section, but you see it if you are under a lamp. Otherwise, the ringwear is barely viewable if not near a lamp. The side seam is in great shape (photo of that is here). The DEMONSTRATION/NOT FOR SALE gold banner is at the bottom left corner on the front cover. Records comes in a plain white inner sleeve. Both sides of the record do not have any surface scratches or scuffs! Listen to the 1 minute and 40-second audio/video here for sound quality. I rate the album cover as Excellent (EX) for front cover, but Very Good Plus (VG+) for back cover due to a little ringwear. The vinyl I give a Near Mint (NM) for sound quality and physical look. No skips, pops, or crackles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to email me for more information on an item.

No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label. NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label. EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++. VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off. VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-. G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself. P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it. See my other listings for more great items!
