Chicago LPs with Maynard Ferguson


CHICAGO, CHICAGO 13 -- Columbia FC 36105

By now, you've all heard the story, right? Back in 1979, Maynard and Chicago were across the hall from each other in the recording studio. He was recording the "Hot" album, and Chicago was recording "13." They invited Maynard over to jam with them on the track "Street Player," and here it is! Wow! Sort of jazz meets rock meets disco. You've GOT to have this one!
COPY #1. The cover on this copy has four visible nicks along the top seam, and a very, very slight amount of ring wear, visible only on the back at the top. Someone wrote their name in small letters inside the cover, which means you can only see it if you open the cover and look inside. I'd rate this cover as EX+. The vinyl has a few light surface scratches which don't affect play significantly. It's easily EX. Overall, this copy is EX to EX+. $5.00.
COPY #2. The cover on this one is very nice, with just the faintest hint of record ring wear on the back. It's still NMINT. The vinyl is super, also NMINT. Overall, this copy is NMINT. $8.00.
COPY #3. The cover on this one has just the slightest record ring wear front and back. But there are zero other problems, so it's still NMINT. The vinyl has one long surface scuff, which reduces it from NMINT to just NMINT-. Overall, this copy is NMINT- to NMINT. $8.00.
COPY #4. The cover on this one has a corner bend at bottom left, and a couple of nicks on the corners, as well as slight record ring wear. It's EX-. The vinyl is very nice -- NMINT-. Overall, this copy is EX to EX+. $5.00.
COPY #5. The cover on this one has just the slightest corner bend at bottom left, but otherwise the cover looks like it's brand new. It's NMINT to NMINT+. The vinyl is SUPER!!! It looks never-played, NMINT++!!! Overall, this copy is NMINT+ -- one of the nicest you're going to find. $9.00.
