Here is a nice find; an original Tribe Productions pressing of "A Message From The Tribe, Vol. 3" featuring Phillip Ranelin, Wendell Harrison, Jeamel Lee, Marcus Belgrave and more. Vinyl is a strong VG+, with a few very minor scuffs visible here and there under harsh light. REALLY NICE! Cover is VG+ overall, but I will qualify that by saying it is a weaker VG+; there is only minor actual surface wear, but then we have the matter of  the personal touches that its former owner seemed to enjoy adding to most of his collection. These would be his name written on the center left  of the back side ("Dave Bednarz," whose name I have come to view as a trademark of quality in a strange way, even though I wish he hadn't been compelled to write it on every LP he owned) and some minor tape residue at the opening from where Mr. Bednarz used to like taping the shrink to his LPs. Still, other than these flaws, there is only minor surface wear.Overall this is still a very nice copy of this LP, which is hard to find. Do not miss out on this excellent piece of wax!

:::A SPECIAL NOTE FOR OUR ITALIAN CUSTOMERS:::

We will now be asking that all shipments to Italy be sent via registered mail!

We apologize for this, but if you live in  Italy, you are probably just as familiar as we are with the difficulties that can occur regarding the Italian post! Regrettably, we have had so many orders to Italy become lost in the postal stream that we feel sending Italian orders via registered mail is the only way to ensure safe arrival, or at least the ability to track lost items. Unfortunately, this means our Italian customers will have to pay an extra $12.00 for LP shipping in addition to the standard air mail rates for shipping to Europe. We are very sorry to have to make this change (we love our Italian customers!), but we were losing quite a lot of money and our customers were not getting their records, which means everybody loses. Again, you have our deepest apologies, but at this point this is the only option we have to deal with this issue. Thanks for your understanding.
