Description

Very rare and hard to find original first issue of Roy Brooks and the Artistic Truth’s Ethnic Expressions.


Still in the original shrink but it does have some imperfections. Some discoloration to the sleeve as well as what looks like it could be dust/debris under the shrink wrap. If removed it could probably be cleaned up better. The corners have some wear as well as the top right corner curls a bit.


The record itself is in very good shape. I only see one visible spindle mark.

Side A is VG+ and plays very well with only some minor pops in the quiet parts.

Side B is VG but has two small scuffs on track 2 that can be heard over the music for a few rotations. But other than that it’s as good as side A.


This has been ultrasonically cleaned and is kept in an anti static inner sleeve and a poly outer sleeve. Will be shipped with extra care.


Recorded at: Small's Paradise, Harlem, N.Y.C. Nov. 22, 1973.
