218

This week I will be offering lots of late 60s and 70s Soul, Funk and Disco albums in splendid condition. All disk will rate NM to a STRONG EX. Some are still sealed. For those who wanna retro back, you can't go wrong here. If you are a DJ looking for break and sample material, here are some gems.

Here the infamous, high demand gem 'Zone' in NM condition. This one is as good as it gets. Bid with confidence.
For What It's Worth: A member asked me to play grade it. I did so with a new Shure M97x stylus. It played with NO surface noise. Also, the record is flat, no sign of warping. But I did notice a quirk. The track labeled 'Zone' ended with a chant 'Can You Feel It'. The matrix on that side is VGD-733-A ...The side labeled 'Can You Feel It' , matrix VGD-733-B is a track that is cool and features cool chimes along with the bass, drums and keys. I am not an expert in this genre and don't know the tunes. But it could be possible that the labels are reversed in error. This is not uncommon with promos like this. You tell me.

My Record Grading

SS - Still Sealed - I have no idea what is inside and cannot be accountable for company flaws. Hopefully the record os in absolute MINT condition. I will report any signs of imperfections in my descriptions. Usually this is as good as it gets for vinyl records.
NM - Has no marks or surface noise, full gloss and clean labels. Covers will have no addressable wear, crisp seams and corners.
EX - Very close to NM but might have only LIGHT surface marks only visable under bright light. Covers show only the slightest shelfwear
VG+ - Disk might have superficial marks that do NOT affect play, has NO audible scratches. Might have rare occasional dust ticks audible between tracks. It is a well kept record that shows normal but careful use. Cover shows it's age but has no serious ringwear or splits.
VG - Means VERY GOOD. The record is in realistic condition, but has NO deep scratches, skips or annoying surface noise. Might have light surface sound between tracks and quiet areas. But plays very good for an old record. Covers might have ringwear, minor splits and even writing, but is still presentable or even restorable.
G - Is an old used record that still plays good without skips. This is the condition of most 50s and 60s records and are usually not found for sale unless they are very rare. The cover still holds the record.

All rare items that sell over 300.00 will include FREE shipping to USA buyers. It will include Priority Mail with delivery confirmation and insured. To buyers from outside USA, shipping rate will be 10.00 for Global Priority Mail (insured). This only applies to items over 300.00.

I ship records in a professional way. The disk will be sent out of the cover, packing assures safety to the cover. Shipping rates are only .60 over actual rate to cover box and new poly sleeve. Media Mail includes delivery confirmation. West Coast buyers will have Priority Mail rate adjusted with invoice @ .75 less. Canada buyers use lower rate of 6.50. I do combine shipping. Up to 3 LPs for same Media Mail rate. Add .50 after 3. Add 1.00 each added via Priority. Europe add 3.00 up to 3 albums. After that, it goes to more expensive Air Mail Parcel Post.

 The cover is NOT a window cover (see added photo) And NO this is NOT a reissue. ( I don't believe it has been re-issued) This is 100% guaranteed to be the real deal. This cove is the way these were originally presented in 1976. Most of the albums I am selling this week came from the same 70s DJ source and have been carefully stored and have not seen the light of day since 1980. Any of those who wonder about "sleeve impressions" They are simply where light creases on the inner sleeve have VERY lightly shadowed on the disk. This is typical. The disk is virtually unplayed (except by me to check it) and plays like a new record. So again I state, this record is in NM condition. I doubt you will find this item in better condition. I stake my reputation on it.
