565

Artist: Ray Fernandez

Title: Ray and His Court

Pressing: ORIG. U.S. press on Sound Triangle ST - 7778 from 1973. Deadwax reads st-7778 as well. GARANTEED ORIGINAL PRESS.

Vinyl~ M- was sealed when I bought it, played a couple of times. Immaculate. Top Copy.

Cover~ Vg ++ with a 3 inch seam split that was fixed lovingly and with skill from the inside with a thin folded piece of cardstock, as a result you probably wouldn‘t know the tear had happened . Other then that it‘s flawless.

2 cents: Truly a lost funk grail and the most sought after slab of wax from the Sound Triangle catalogue. Ray Fernandes devotes the A side to sizzling latin numbers as befit’s this labels ethos, and the B-side is where the funk/soul is. The classic rare groove Cookie Crumbs leads off that side and is totally hypnotic, with a sly sense of humour buried deep whithin the vocals. After a sick latin number, De Eso Nada Monada (one of the highlights) there is an off the hook version of Sunny that is considered one of the best. The final track is and instrumental rare groove monster that features the funkiest Bass Clarinet I’ve ever heard. All together one of the best sides of private rare groove madness to come out of the seventies. I recorded and uploaded the whole B-side, check it out. You will not see this record in this condition again for a long time. I’ll say it again: Top Copy!

Grading:

M- : wax is clean, looks and sounds unplayed

Vg++ : wax plays perfectly though visually it may have a light, inaudible mark or two.

Vg+ : still a good LP, though there is an audible defect, either a mark or intermittent background noise.

Vg: wax has several marks that cause clicks or background noise. The LP’s still playable, though it’s going to sound worn.

Vg-: beat up, may skip.

NOTE: Just wanted to say that on this item I'd be willing to go 50/50 on the cost of registered shipping, so it would cost you 27$ to have it sent registered.

I just realized registered shipping varies depending on where you live. I quoted 54 dollars, it turns out this just is too the states.I'm still happy to go 50% on registered shipping, though the cost will vary depending on where you live.
