MANDINGO ~ THE PRIMEVAL RHYTHM OF LIFE

`If you want to discover your roots...LISTEN TO...DANCE TO...LIVE TO...MANDINGO - THE PRIMEVAL RHYTHM OF LIFE`

Blimey, this is good...

Completely unexpected and filled with stops-you-dead-in-your-tracks moments...

Highly regarded and virtually unclassifiable colection of bass and rhythm heavy instrumental tracks, Afro-funk in mood, but with any other number of influences in the mixer, too...

1973 12" vinyl release on Columbia / Studio2Stereo, catalogue number TWO 400

Apparantly Geoff Love and His Orchestra are responsible or this unheralded audio assault...

Produced by Norman Newell

Matrix numbers -

Side One - YAX 4535-1

Side Two - YAX 4536-1

Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used.

This 39 year old LP I have graded as being in Excellent- condition. Both sides play well with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors. It's the authentic listening experience!

Perfectly acceptable copy for vinyl-to-mp3 transfer, with a suitable player. Keep it real, but in a digital way...or you could just play it on a turntable...

The sleeve I have graded as being in Very Good+ condition, with light shelf-wear scuffing to edges and very light 12" ring diameter wear marks front and rear, plus other small signs of storage and age.

The label is in good, used condition, with no major blemishes.

Vinyl records are posted in sturdy Record Mailers with additional stiffeners inserted.

Please see the description below of how Record Collector Magazine grades vinyl. This is the system that I use.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.

As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
