Description

Musad and the Warm Expressions Black Christmas / Gettin' Down - Ghetto Style Narobi Records MN 1006/1007 1970s? VG++

As far as I can tell, this is a private pressing and the only release ever by Narobi Records.  I don't know when it was released, but I've had this record for nearly 40 years, so I'm guessing this is from some time in the 1970s.
"Black Christmas" is a soul jazz reworking of White Christmas ("let the ghetto glisten") with a very early drum machine sound similar to what you hear on Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't We Live Together" (maybe it's an electric organ setting?).

Apologies for the reflections in the photos.
My auctions are listed as "no international shipping" because of the excessive cost and delays these days. However, if you really want something and are willing to put up with both the cost and likely delay, please feel free to bid.

Goldmine Record Grading Standards:

Mint: Absolutely perfect in every way.

Near Mint (NM or M-): Nearly perfect, no visible defects, no surface noise.

Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (E): May show slight signs of wear, slight warps, or minor signs of handling, that do not affect the listening experience.

Very Good (VG): Lacks most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear and light scratches are visible. The record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft , but the noise will not overpower the music. Label may include minor writing, tape or a sticker.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+) or Very Good Minus (VG-): Significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage.

Poor (P) and Fair (F): Records are cracked, impossibly warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them.
