Product Description

ANN PEEBLES "STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART" HI RECORDS 32065   VERY RARE WHITE LABEL PROMO COPY FROM 1972!! THIS 40 YEAR OLD LP IS FROM THE VERY FIRST RUN OF PRESSINGS THAT WAS PRESSED FOR USE BY RADIO STATIONS! WHITE LABELS ON BOTH SIDES AND A PROMO STICKER AND PROMO HOLE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE COVER! INCLUDES AN ORIGINAL HI RECORDS INNER SLEEVE.   THE COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR WATER DAMAGE IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER WHICH AFFECTS ABOUT 10% OF THE TOTAL COVER. THE VERY HEAVYWEIGHT, STIFF VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.   A lean, tough set that was not only a triumph for Peebles, but illustrated how the Hi label had surpassed its crosstown Stax rival for quality Memphis soul in the early '70s. The guitars are spare, funky, and bluesy, the horn section punchy, and the material far earthier and down-home than the increasingly formulaic grooves at Stax. There were three modest R&B hits on the album ("Slipped, Tripped and Fell in Love," "I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home," "Somebody's on Your Case"), much of which was penned by Peebles or her husband Don Bryant. Peebles' vocals were convincingly biting, and she never, unlike many other singers of the era, tried too hard for her own good.    From the collection of a late music industry veteran who received a generous amount of material from the record labels, and was extremely active during the 1970s. Most of this collection appears unplayed, as they have been filed away remaining untouched for over 30 years. Most are PROMO copies, and are also the earliest pressings. This is a rare opportunity to own the earliest pressings of classic material.

RECORD GRADING POLICY

MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale

EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play

VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.

VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.

Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like

Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play

Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
