ETHIO SOUL FUNK JAZZ Mahmoud Ahmed Original OG LP Deadstock Listen!

Mahmoud Ahmed – Jeguol Naw Betwa  Mahmoud Ahmed Records – LR MA 10  
One of the best Ethio soul - funk LPs out there, recently compiled but originals are impossible to find, well here's one! On this album Mahmoud Ahmed combines soul, funk, jazz and influences from traditional Ethiopian music. Every track is a winner. Mahmoud Ahmed is one of the big names in Ethiopian popular music of the 70s and 80s, I heard Mulatu Astatke used to be his sound engineer back when Mahmoud was touring Europe...
This is an original from deadstock which means it's unplayed (well I played it a couple of times), looking super clean, plays mostly VG+ with no problems at all, but a few isolated passages such as the beginning of each side have crackle or pops and on my turntable there are 3 single-line skips (which I haven't tried cleaning), probably caused by pressing residue. Overall a mesmerizing album in very enjoyable condition, don't sleep! Listen to the snippets below! This one, like most originals, doesn't come with a sleeve.

Seen on Discogs for £250 so this is a much better deal - modest reserve price... bid with confidence :)

THE SHIPPING RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING By buying on this item, you agree that I won't be responsible for items that are lost or damaged in the mail.

I recommend purchases for France and Italy to be sent via registered mail. Recently I haven't had any problems there but the postal service there has a bit of a reputation.

Also, I reserve the right to cancel any purchases, for example from buyers who have given me problems before, including those who left me with a Paypal chargeback because their records took a while to arrive.
