Hello and thanks for checking out our auctions! We've got a great batch of soul/funk/disco rarities for you this week. Guaranteed original pressings! Also, all of our records are cleaned on a VPI machine and professionally packed in new mailers with inserts.

MINORITY BAND - Journey To tHe Shore LP

Notes: Released on JSR Records out of New Jersey back in 1980. A killer record, and a very rare piece of jazz/funk/soul. Such a solid LP too. Every track is a winner.  From what I've heard, only 500 of these were pressed.

Check out the clips ....

Condition (Jacket/Vinyl): G / VG- to VG (grading conservatively)

Condition Notes: First I'll tell about the sleeve. I ain't gonna lie. It's beat. The top is split. The seams are worn. Little pieces are flaking off the top. There's a 1-inch rip on the opening and another 1/2 inch rip lower down.   The bottom of the sleeve is kinda gnarly. There's some water damage (more apparent on the front) and some purple-y splotches (mold?).  

The sleeve is autographed by Frederick King, the trumpet player. The inscription reads: "To Mays & Family, From Your Nephew." 

Moving on to the record. I'd say it looks VG- but plays VG in some sections and VG+ throughout most of the record. I have cleaned it several times on our VPI machine, so the vinyl is as clean as I can get it, and is still very glossy. 

The 1st cuts on both sides have some scuffing that creates light background noise throughout the 1st half of each track. There are light marks on the rest of the record, but none of these marks are deep enough to cause much of a disturbance. The inside tracks play much better. Overall, the record is very listenable.  I suggest you listen to the audio clips to get the best idea of how the LP sounds condition-wise.
