Detailed Item Description
"Priced to reflect the premium condition of the vinyl, the intact seams of the jacket, and the inclusion of the highly elusive original 1978 lyric insert. Offers welcome, but lowballs will be automatically declined."
Up for sale is a stunning, collector-grade original 1978 first pressing of the holy grail Hawaiian jazz-fusion / AOR masterpiece by Lemuria. This is a complete, well-preserved copy of a legendary record that rarely surfaces in this condition. The Vinyl: Side A is a beautiful, high-gloss Near Mint (NM) with absolutely no visible scratches. Side B features excellent gloss with just two minimal, purely superficial hairline scuffs that do not catch a fingernail and play through beautifully with zero skipping. Played on a Pioneer PL-530.
The Dead Wax: Features the definitive original runout markings, including the iconic KPG signature showing it was mastered by the legendary Kevin Gray (AL-00001-A Re 1 KPG 4202 (3) / AL-00001-B Re 1 KPG 4203 (3)).
The Jacket: Crisp VG+ condition. It shows only minor, honest shelf wear. Crucially, the spine is intact, and there are absolutely no split edges or seam tears—a major rarity for this specific 70s jacket stock.
The Insert: Includes the original 1978 lyric sheet insert page. The vast majority of surviving copies lost this insert decades ago. It is clean, legible, and completes this definitive collector's package.
Do not miss the chance to own a complete, top-tier original archive copy of this Hawaiian soul-jazz masterpiece.
Shipped securely in a heavy-duty, corrugated cardboard mailer. The vinyl will be removed from the outer jacket during transit to completely prevent spine splits. Includes tracking and full insurance. Serious offers only. The shipping charge is a flat rate of $25.00 for premium, fully insured trackable shipping.
