Consciousness (Vinyl LP)

Tom Moon, in his book 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die, wrote: "Beginning with a spry romp through Coltrane's 'Impressions,' Consciousness offers blindingly bright—yet never glib—Martino solos, each a marvel of structure. To hear an improviser in full control of his resources, check out the curvy bossa nova 'Along Came Betty,' then a pensive solo guitar reading of Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now.'"

Qu-‚àûrt-¬µt recordings from what was undoubtedly a virtusio gu‚Äî?±t-‚àûr‚Äî?±‚Äî?Øt who really should be as appreciated as such contemporaies such as George Benson. "W‚Äî?±ll-?¶w," a d-‚àûrk, understated g-¬µm -‚àûnd his take on J-?¶n‚Äî?± M‚Äî?±t‚Äî?Öh-¬µll'‚Äî?Ø "B-?¶th S‚Äî?±d-¬µ‚Äî?Ø Now." remains a sublime re-interpretation.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
