Mulatu Astatke & His Ethiopian Quintet: Afro Latin Soul, Volume 2
Worth Records, 1966 No.W-1015, pressed in Brooklyn NY
ORIGINAL COPY OF THE INCREDIBLY SOUGHT AFTER VOLUME 2 DEBUT LP FROM LEGENDARY ETHIOPIAN VIBRAPHONIST MULATU ASTATKE. MULATU'S POPULARITY SURGED AFTER HIS MUSIC WAS SHOWCASED IN THE FILM BROKEN FLOWERS. HIS ORIGINAL RECORDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HARD TO FIND.
RECORD IS VG+ WITH VERY LIGHT SURFACE SCUFFS- It plays with some light audible crackle and fuzz throughout the record due to inferior recording techniques. There are slight manufacturing defects on both sides but they do not affect the play or quality. THIS IS A FANTASTIC ALBUM!! I like it better than volume 1.
COVER IS VG+ with minor edge wear and rounded corners. There are no seam splits. A number label is affixed to the upper left corner. There is an illegible word stamped on the rear. There are remnants of some sort of label in the upper right hand corner of the rear of the cover. There is no ring wear on either side. All things considered, the cover is in remarkable shape. The paper inside sleeve has seam splits.
Tracklist: The Panther (Boogaloo), Konjit (Pretty), Soul Power, Lover's Mambo, Love Mood For Two, Jijiger, Girl From Addis Ababa, Karayu, Raina
VG+ Record
Shows signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the recording are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play.
VG+ Cover
A virtually clean cover, but may have small writing on it. The artwork should look clean with slightly more aging. The back of the cover usually gives away the age of the cover. Flat white paper will be somewhat yellow yet no stains or mildew from water damage. Some minor wear to the seams or spine, but no tears or holes popping through. The corners will be slightly dog eared yet no crackly bends, defacing the artwork.
