Something Like A Bird by: Charles Mingus
First Press Stereo Atlantic Records 1980

Something Like A Bird was the last record that Mingus participated in before his death in 1979. He wrote the music but wasn’t able to play on it because of his ALS. It’s very upbeat and there are a ton of instruments on it so it’s not really a casual listen. We tried to listen to it on a calm Sunday morning for breakfast and it was too much for that. Played it again after a few cups of coffee and we were raring to go.

Grading System:

Mint:

Sealed.

NM:

Maybe played a couple times, perfect otherwise.

VG+:

Has some minor wear or scuffs/scratches but nothing outrageous.

VG:

Has visible scuffs/scratches but playback shouldn't be greatly affected.

Record will play, might not be the prettiest but gets the job done. (We don't like to sell these)

We clean, catalog, grade and fully listen to every record that we sell. It’s important to us to put out the best records we can. There should be at least a couple of ears between you and a bad sounding record. We try to let you know of any issues we find in the description. But keep in mind, all record players are different. Like snowflakes!
