Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
CRAZY RARE original Presswell gatefold first pressing of this revolutionary (see what I did there?) poetic jazz-funk masterpiece from 1971 on Flying Dutchman's bullseye label!!! LP is VG-/G+ visually with lots of light scuffs but only a few small scratches that can be lightly felt. Plays amazingly well with only light to moderate background noise during the quieter bits, of which there are thankfully few. This LP was superbly mastered so the sound is cut hot and with stunning clarity. Cover is G with a water stain at the bottom and some peeling at the bottom on the inside gatefold. This was my personal copy but after 15 years of searching I finally found a VG copy. Lead off track The Revolution Will Not Be Televised and Home Is Where the Hatred Is are two of the best songs in the entire history of recorded music in this collector's never humble opinion and worth a thousand time the price of admission on their own merits but this entire LP is essential listening. If you've never heard it you will not be disappointed.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED) NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
