RARE FUNKY PROMOTIONAL CUSTOM-PRESS 12" for the BUDWEISER SHOWDOWN "BAND BATTLE" between up-and-coming R&B/SOUL, FUNK and RAP GROUPS! Presented by Budweiser as part of its "Tournament Of Jams" series. This is from the 5th annual event in 1987, sponsored by "Majic 102 FM". Features two KILLER TUNES by two OBSCURE (virtually-unknown) bands. "Amp Crew Rocks You" is AMAZING, BIZARRE, THUMPIN’ UP-TEMPO ELECTRO-FUNK; with heavy synthesized vocals, bass and percussion – even includes a "chipmunk vocal" break! Actually, the whole thing is loaded with BREAKS and SAMPLES!! "With You" is solid mid/up-tempo funky ‘80s R&B with nice solo male vocals. Comes in generic "Budweiser Showdown sleeve. A REMARKABLE GEM!
CONDITION: MINT (See GRADING GUIDELINES below for further details)
LP GRADING GUIDELINES - Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description.
- Please note I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
- Please note my VG and G grades for vinyl generally are BETTER THAN GOLDMINE'S
- Flaws for ALL covers graded VG or less, and labels graded VG+ or less, are noted in the description.
- Vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
- Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
- Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, G+) are used, as applicable.
- MINT - Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless
- NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes
- NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless
- VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scuffs or scratches (if basically inaudible) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect minimal or very slight (at worst) surface noise in spots. Cover has very slight general wear, OR minimal wear and a couple of very minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description)
- VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still very shiny, has a few light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots
- VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl still shiny or very shiny, has a few light scuffs, surface marks and/or small scratches, plus some sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect slight surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.
- G (Good) - Vinyl typically still shiny (sometimes very shiny); has some scuffs and some surface marks, generally a few or some light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description) 7¼ % SALES TAX ADDED TO ITEMS SHIPPED WITHIN TEXAS.
