Teal Records
Immediately following Zimbabwe's independence, Gramma Records started to release some of Zimbabwe's mbira masterpieces on vinyl. In 1981, to mark the first anniversary of Zimbabwe's independence, Ephat Mujuru was tasked with releasing an exemplary LP. That effort gave birth to the legendary "The Mbira Music of Zimbabwe" played with the Spirit of the People band — the late Thomas Wadharwa (sekuru) Gora, Forbes Gushungo, Martha Mujuru, Martha Tembo, Lovemore Chiripanyanga and Patrick Mberi. Mbira Music of Zimbabwe "represents the spirit of the people from the time of Monomatapa to the present day and Ephat Mujuru and the Mudzimu waVanhu (Spirit of the People) personify the thread of traditional music in the fabric of the art of Zimbabwe."
PLEASE NOTE - I GENERALLY ONLY POST OUT vinyl LPs ONCE A WEEK, ON A FRIDAY, please contact me if you need the item any quicker......
Grading System
In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.
MINT or NM : The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
VG+: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VG: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
G or G+: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing
