NOTES: Issued in 1990. A replica reissue of their rare Turbo label LP.
P-Vine / Vivid Sound: Independent record label(s) founded in the mid 70s in Tokyo, Japan. Their primary focus has been to issue/reissue selected US blues and soul music for the domestic Japanese market. Aimed at collectors and connoisseurs the quality has always been kept high: thick wax and heavyweight cardboard sleeves. Often the LPs are compiled from rare tracks only previously issued on 45s, or in some cases include previously UNISSUED material. Pressing quantities were generally very small with limited distribution. Consequently, many of these titles have now become well sought after by collectors worldwide.
What is an obi?: An obi is the paper 'belt' that is looped around the album sleeves on most Japanese releases. The Japanese text written upon it is usually just a translation of the artist name and album title etc.
Important: Bidders with less than 5 feedbacks please contact me before bidding and introduce yourself or you risk your bid being canceled.
GRADING: M > EX > VG > G.
My grading is strict and guaranteed. M is my highest grade, and the disc will look as new. G graded records will still play well; I won't auction lesser graded items on eBay.
PAYMENT: Paypal strongly preferred. Please wait for my invoice before sending payment. Please be sure to make payment within 7 days of the auction closing.
POSTAGE/HANDLING: All items will be well packed in strong cardboard 'box style' mailers. The record will be removed from the sleeve, to prevent seam splits, and both will be placed in a protective poly bag.
USA/Canada/Europe/Australia: $13.00 Standard Airmail. Plus $4.00 for each additional item.
Asia: $10.00 Standard Airmail. Plus $3.50 for each additional item
Express & insured shipping via Japan's EMS service is also available if requested. Due to weight restrictions, all packages containing more than 6 LPs must now be sent via EMS.
