Quincy Jones

Quincy Jones was an influential American record producer, conductor, arranger, film score composer, television producer, and trumpeter, born on March 14, 1933, in Chicago, Illinois. He passed away on November 3, 2024, in Los Angeles, California.

Jones's career began in the early 1950s, with his first notable recordings as a trumpeter and arranger on two MGM 78s by Lionel Hampton in May 1951. Throughout his life, he became one of the most respected and prolific music producers, recognized for his extensive work across various genres, including jazz, soul, funk, and pop. He collaborated with a diverse array of prominent recording artists, such as Michael Jackson, Dinah Washington, Roland Kirk, Sarah Vaughan, Rufus & Chaka Khan, George Benson, the Brothers Johnson, and Donna Summer.

His production of Michael Jackson's album "Off the Wall" in 1979 stands out as a significant milestone, heralded as a classic. This success was followed by the massive-selling albums "Thriller" in 1982 and "Bad" in 1987.

In addition to his musical achievements, Jones founded Vibe magazine in 1993. He is also the father of actresses Rashida Jones and Kidada Jones, whom he had with actress Peggy Lipton, as well as film and music producer Quincy Jones III and dancer and model Martina Jones, from his relationship with photo model Ulla Jones.

SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED/Mint:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

 

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

 

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.

 
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

 

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.


G (Good):

Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.


F (Fair):

Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip

Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album
