Description

Artist & Title: Ice – Import / Export
Label & Cat #: 1975 Prestige – P-10096 Stereo
Vinyl Grade: Very Good Plus (VG+) play graded *very little noise interference with only the "Passing Dreams" track registering a couple sequences of light ticks, one sequence of @12 and another of 6-7. I had remainder of album playing Excellent (EX), but there were a few light superficial marks as well and owner's name lightly written on labels, so safer to grade as strong Very Good Plus.
Cover Grade: Very Good Plus (VG+) *cut-corner top rh, some ring wear impression creasing on front, small amount of seam wear, some chafing on spine
Notes: Ice is probably best known to the world by their name Lafayette Afro Rock Band. Originally from Long Island, New York they relocated to Paris in the early 1970's and began to weave African music into their original funk rock style. Lafayette Hudson's still on funky bass, Frank Abel lays down wonderful keyboards – and tracks include "Hi Fi Woman", "The Gap", "Funky Bunch", "Funky Lovin", "Quick", and "Passing Dreams".

Thank you for visiting dBeat Records !
GRADING STANDARDS: (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way. Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
(NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident.
(EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear.
(VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
(VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming.
(G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
