Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

  • This was Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson's biggest seller because of the hit "The Bottle". However, sales were stifled because of the poor distribution of this obscure jazz label. It eventually fell out of distribution.
  • This is a First Pressing that has never been played.
  • The matrix ends in A1.
  • It is on very thick and heavy vinyl.
  • The Seller was a big fan and got this copy at Tower Boston when it first was released in 1974.
  • The paper on thick board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine a couple small corner bumps.
  • This one-owner has been in storage for 41 years.
