Absolutely amazing original Ethiopian record!

These are true "mission impossible"s now, so please bid accordingly... and lastly: no BuyItNow's, no direct sale offers please. All are auctions and they will end like that. Please participate.

Artist/Band: Mulatu Astatke featuring Fekade Amde Maskal

The legendary timeless jazz-psych-avant album. One of the most amazing examples of African jazz and here in all its original glory! We are very lucky to have it in a very reasonable condition too!!!

Grading (cover/record): VG+ (no writings, light ringmark, no seam splits (a small miracle for an Ethiopian LP of this age!), very few and light marks of age and storage) / VG (no deep  scratches whatsoever which is great, there are light hairlines and a few light scuffs and the disc plays very well only with light background noise which is there on even the mint Ethiopian records; hear below how the disc sounds and I can tell you with 100% honesty that even the real playing through the speakers the disc sounds better! As you can hear, both sides' first couple of minutes are a little bit noisier then it fades and settles at a much moderate pace)

You may know well that African vinyl (especially second hand) is very unreliable to grade only by the eye so please also use the sound samples to assess the sound quality of the disc. The recordings from the records here have been done exactly as is! Please make your judgements well when bidding.

*** DO NOT PAY RIGHT AWAY, WAIT FOR US TO SEND YOU INVOICES!!! ***

also:

I used to write many details about my sale policies, refunds and guarantees but apparently nobody seems to read or take notice of them anymore -- instead, everyone runs off to eBay and PayPal's dispute systems.

Fine with me, as I always do my sales refund guaranteed anyway, but please be honorable human beings and pay when you bid and just give me a slack by "contacting" me before rushing to machines to complain if there's something bothering you.

Also, dear respectable bidders from US and all Americas: I live in and send the records from Istanbul. Postage from here to you could never ever be 4 dollars. That is something which eBay devises to help "buyers and sellers who are INSIDE The United States" to pay a reasonable "domestic" postage. I do not live in United States, I am not a domestic US dweller and your parcels will be sent from Istanbul, the Turkish Republic.

Are we honestly clear? OK? OK.

Thank you!

POSTAGE

12 USD for first record worldwide, plus 2 USD for each LP thereafter for European bidders and 4 USD each thereafter for US, Canada and all others. All sendings are registered. Multiple orders are combined, don't worry.
