Description
Chakachas - Jungle Fever
Polydor Records PD 5504 1972
COVER: EX - Super clean and looks almost perfect besides a small 1mm cut in bottom left corner. I found this in shrinkwrap about 30 years ago.
VINYL: EX, looks clean. I see a couple scuffs or marks but nothing you can hear or affecting play.
A mad mix of Latin and funky rhythms – a 70s classic from the Belgian group Chakachas! The album's best known for its title hit "Jungle Fever" – an insane cut that features heavy drums, choppy guitar, and a stop/start action that's peppered with sounds of female pleasure! The track was a worldwide hit, and continues to be a funky classic today – thanks to a heavy sample history, and a life in playlists worldwide – but the rest of the album's pretty darn great too, and even weirder. Some tracks mix easy Euro grooving with heavy conga, others have kind of an LA Chicano funk approach, and still others throw in some mad horns to complicate matters with nice jazzy riffing. Really great throughout – and maybe one of the best funky albums to ever come out on a major label!

I am very picky with my grading and I really try to price the records so we both feel satisfied. If you feel I missed the mark on the grading of a record you purchased, please reach out to me. I am selling a very large personal collection and look over a ton of vinyl everyday.
Here are my standards for grading records:
Near Mint Minus (NM-)
This is almost a perfect, brand new record and the vinyl will play perfectly. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other defects. The same goes for inserts, posters, lyric sheets, sleeves, etc.
Excellent (EX)
This record will show some signs that it has been played but taken care of, protected, and correctly stored by previous owners. Defects should be cosmetic and not affect the playback. Record surfaces may show signs of wear, slight scuffs, or very light scratches, but these shouldn't distract from or affect one's listening experience. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Small spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a promo hole, cut-out hole, notch cut, indentation, or cut corner.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
This record is still high quality in my collection. You may hear slight surface noise, subtle pops, and ticks when playing, but these sounds should only add to the warm analog feeling and not overpower the music otherwise. Scuffs or light scratches may be noticeable, but they shouldn't cause skips during playback. The cover or label may have writing, marks, or stickers. But I think these just add to overall mystique of the record's history.
