This is the Konduko Records release of the King Sporty LP Deep Reggae Roots (K-100,000).

The Cover is in VG++ condition. Still in the factory shrink, it’s torn for about 2 inches back from the opening. That portion that’s exposed on the top seam is worn but not split. There’s some writing on the front.

The Vinyl is in NM condition. Play graded, both sides are spotless. Both sides play clean, no crackle, hiss, pops or ticks.

Where This Vinyl Came From

This collection is from the estate of one of the original members of the very first record pool founded by David Mancuso of The Loft in New York City in 1975. The owner was a DJ in New York City when Disco was in it’s infant stages. Her name appears on this list of the Pools original members New York Record Pool Members and she was inducted into the New York Record Pool’s Hall of Fame. For background information on the New York Record Pool, click here David Mancuso NY Record Pool.

It’s a fabulous collection of some of the earliest Dance vinyl that exists. It’s all in VG++ to NM condition, including a few test pressings and some holy grail vinyl that’s still sealed. I’ll be listing the collection in the upcoming weeks. I list a new batch every Tuesday night so check back to my listings weekly. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

GRADING

I take my grading very seriously, see below for a description of how I do it.

MINT

A mint record, both Cover & Vinyl should appear perfect with no visible wear, as if its never been used.

NEAR MINT

Near Mint Coversize> will only have a very minor imperfection, a slightly snubbed corner for example, but does not detract from the overall appearance, the majority of it is perfect. The Vinylsize> will also have an extremely minor cosmetic imperfection but will play as if new.

VG++

Very Good ++ for the Coversize> will have artwork close to perfect. There may be some minor ring impression, slight creases to the corners but not wrinkled. There should be no writing, seam splits or tape repairs. The Vinylsize> may have some minor scuffs/scratches, but should play close to perfect.

VG+

Very Good + for the Coversize> will be a virtually clean cover but may have small writing on it. The artwork should look clean with slight aging. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners could be slightly dog eared. The Vinylsize> will show wear, surface scuffs and some very light scratches. The vinyl should still have a great luster, but the flaws will be noticeable to the naked eye. It should play well with very little or no surface noise.

VG

A Very Good Coversize> will look worn, used. There may be some seam splitting (but not completely separated!). There will be some ring wear, where the ink has begun to wear off, giving the cover a look of snow falling. If the artwork looks snowy all over, it is less than VG condition. There may be some writing on the cover. It will look aged and more yellowish. Still it should be decent. The Vinylsize> will not really look very good, but should STILL play decent. There will almost always be some surface noise, but the Dynamics should still be excellent, overpowering the surface noise. With VG records, the surface noise will be minor crackle or a slight hiss, but should only be heard in between tracks or in low musical passages.

Good

A Good Coversize> will have just about everything wrong with it. It will have seam splits (possibly taped and repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs). In essence, the cover will look virtually trashed, but some artwork will still be noticed. Good Vinylsize> will look very well played, dull, grayish and possibly abused. However good vinyl should still play. It will have distracting surface noise, such as crackle that is continuous or some hiss. Will also have some loss of dynamics caused from grooves being worn. It should play without any skips or any obtrusively loud pops or repeated clicks caused by deep scratches. Good means that it will play with some form of decency, so one can still enjoy the music even though you can still hear noise caused from the wear.
