Nugroove Notes - 

Tim Maia’s 2nd album and his 2nd of something like 13 that are self titled. Most of his records up to the mid 80s followed this naming convention with some notable exceptions being the Racional volumes that Tim Maia recorded while being involved with a UFO cult. 

The whole UFO cult thing seems like it didn’t last more than two years (the mid-70s were weird) and was followed by a return to the Maia namesake with 3 concurrent S/T LPs in a row until 1978’s “Disco Club.” 

At this point, Maia had escaped the orbit of the whole Alien cult scene and dove head first into his “triathlon” period. 

Now, it would be a fair assumption to take “Triathlon” as an allusion to Tim Maia’s Olympian-like stamina in regards to his output - releasing an LP yearly thru the entirety of the 70s - but rather it’s a reference to Maia’s admitted preferred pre-show warmup technique which involved the excessive consumption of whiskey, blow & dank buds before a gig. A man of my own heart. When I was a bartender thru most of my 20s, we just called that a weekend night.

USPS is my preferred shipping method but other services/couriers (DHL, etc.) can be arranged but may come with a fee. Message me first to arrange shipping other than USPS.

Grading, Shipping and Returns

I try to grade conservatively and I adapt this conservative approach to Goldmine Standards but I do use EX and VG- when needed because I feel Goldmine grading is not descriptive enough compared to any other grading system and not always descriptive enough.  NM basically looks and sounds like a mint album while EX would look like a mint or near mint album with maybe one superficial mark or light scuff/hairline or the briefest lightest spot of surface noise or one or two light pops thru both sides.  I also try to provide well-recorded audio samples of the exact item for sale.  You can hear the grade before buying but I promise you won't be disappointed.

When shipping, I use new professional LP or 45 mailers along with sturdy inserts.  Every item will come in a clear plastic outer sleeve, the media will be removed from the sleeve and any included inner sleeve and placed into a new white inner sleeve to prevent seam splits. 

I accept returns up to 30  days and to put any fears of a new seller to bed, I will pay for return shipping. If you have any questions or concerns, message me and I will respond promptly.
