FAQ

Live at Onkel Pös Carnegie Hall, a jazz club in Hamburg's Eppendorf district that was an important stage for jazz and rock in the 1970s.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means the record shows light signs of play but plays cleanly. VG (Very Good) for the sleeve means more noticeable wear, here shelf wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
