ARTIST : THE CHANTELS

TITLE : WE ARE THE CHANTELS

LABEL & CATALOG NUMBER : END / LP 301

FORMAT : LP 

COVER CONDITION : VG+ great clean front graphics, 3" neatly repaired seam splits top & bottom at opening, one corner bump, mild wear rear, small stain center bottom seam.

VINYL CONDITION : VG great gloss, and some minor surface marks, but many very small pock marks from manufacture & a moderate dish warp. warp causes zero issues & pocks seem to cause only very minor noise.

NOTES : quite scarce original 1st pressing with the withdrawn "PLANTATION" cover art, presenting the group in matching antebellum ball gowns, dream-come-true slave attire? the offensive cover art was replaced with the ubiquitous “jukebox” cover (see our copy), arguably more racist in its ploy to conceal the fact that the chantels are even african-american.

***LAST BATCH FOR THE SEASON BUT WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE AFTER THE NEW YEAR, WITH LPS ADDED REGULARLY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, ALL WITH REASONABLE BUY-IT-NOW PRICES OR LOW START BIDS. MANY RARE GEMS TO COME…
