Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don’t affect one’s listening experiences. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole.

A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value.
No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played – but it has been handled very carefully. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections – possibly still sealed.Ī nearly perfect record. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed – possibly still sealed.

In all, a great set of performances frequently marred by sloppy production, making this just slightly less enjoyable than other Hill recordings from the same time period.We carefully pack the items with stiffeners and bubble wrap them for additional protection. Haynes was spectacularly effective on Black Fire. That is one of the main difficulties for a listener approaching this album for the first time. Here Haynes uses a bit too much space in his drumming, and he is so loud in the mix that this tends to obscure the main themes. In that respect it is more interesting to compare Hill with Albert Ayler or Cecil Taylor than more traditional post-bop players or the previous generation of jazz composers. A hallmark of Hill as a composer is, despite complex structures and arrangements, a strong dominant theme running through his songs. To further complicate matters, Haynes seems just a bit ill at ease here. However, Davis is sometimes buried in the mix, and cannot clearly be heard over Hill and drummer Roy Haynes on “Smoke Stack” and other cuts. On songs like “Wailing Wail”, “Not So”, “The Day After” and “Verne”, the effect is spectacular, providing deep shading to Hill’s typically intriguing compositions. The most striking feature of the album is the use of double bassist Richard Davis as a lead voice, a position in jazz combos most commonly held by wind instruments or piano. The results are successful, but not entirely so. It was Hill’s second set recorded for Blue Note records, but was kept on the shelf for a few years before release.
