YEAR: 1980
CATALOGUE:: VLM 001 (This is s private pressing and is not listed it in the RRPG)..
MATRIX: EJSP 9493 SIDE A
EJSP 9493 SIDE B
RRPG GRADING (WITH CAUTION)
Vinyl: EX (strong). _Appears' almost unplayed. No wear at all to spindles and vinyl is unmarked under light. (Not even sleeve scuffs). Labels unmarked/unfaded and mint.
Audio Plays EX++. No pops or clicks and not even any ccrackle or discernible background noise.
I have fully played the record and used a reasonable cart', AT OC9 II, with Harbeth anniversary front ends.for testing..
Sleeve: VG+ No splits/writing/unwanted marks..The 'barest' of storage wear to edges and a small amount of scarring to spine but all spine text is clearly legible.
I have included a photo of this in the gallery.
Inner sleeve: EX
As rare as hen's teeth.
A little known but superb album on the private press VLM label.
Superb fusion of Gospel soul/disco/boogie/reggae.
An educated guess there was probably only 500-1000 of these pressed and I doubt if there's more than a handful in this condition still existing today.. (That's if you could find another)..
Barely played and in superb condition.
3 Soul boogie dancers and some excellent reggae also.
I have found the credits and included a quick view in the photo gallery as well as the photos on the rear of leeve.
Little known musicians and singers with end cuts mastered by Clifton McLeod and Pete best. (Well respected at the time and I guess still today..
Only two copies sold publicly in recent times and who knows when the next one will come around.
**IMPORTANT**
The vinyl itself is EX (strong) (imho) and i think you'd be hard pressed to find better.
I err on the side of caution when grading but if for some reason you don't agree message me for a prompt response and i will sort out any problems.
Going to slowly list a few collectables from my collection so please see my other listings from time to time.
Also, please see my 100% positive feedback.
***This will only be posted to a U.K. address***
Apologies to overseas bidders but I will not risk vinyl overseas. Please "do not" bid if you are outside the U.K.
Will be posted in a proper mailer with 2 stiffeners, vinyl placed outide of main sleeve.
You are welcome to collect in person if you are anywhere near Barnes, southwest London. (outside congestion charge zone}.
Any difference in postage will be refunded through paypal. (I only charge that which the post office charges me and will supply a copy of the receipt upon request).
The postage listed is a guesstimate. Ideally please wait for an ebay invoice before paying.
Happy bidding.
