SUN RA - JAZZ BY SUN RA VOL 1:
Really beautiful stuff and not at all as out-there as some of his 60s and 70s material. "Call For All Demons" is great, really a special track, but the rest of the album is very nice listening too. Beautiful high quality reissue complete with booklet. Single LP but postage as for two records due to the thick cover.

KENNY DORHAM - AFRO-CUBAN:
US mono pressing, BLP 1535 with Lexington-address on labels and cover but vinyl has beaded rim and not flat edge = very early 2nd pressing. Deep groove on both sides, RVG and ear in dead wax.

Cover has full split and some fraying on top seam, slight wear on bottom seam and spine, shelf wear and small worn spots front and back, staining on back, minor wear and a few tiny rips on opening edge plus stamp on back. Classic Blue Note indemander with the brilliant 50s jazz track "Afrodisia" but the whole album is nice!
