Description
This soul/jazz band from Ohio got their start in 1976. The group was founded by legendary soul jazz composer and vibraphonist, Roy Ayers. RAMP is an acronym for “Roy Ayers Music Productions”, even though Ayers himself was never a member of the group. However, he composed most of these tracks and he was the arranger and producer for this, the only album the group released. The album is widely recognized as a jazz funk classic. The album was released on ABC Blue Thumb in 1977, number BT-6028. This is the original release of the album. The vinyl still has its bright original luster though with several light surface scratches and paper scuffs. It plays beautifully with just light sporadic background noise, though with several small tics. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows ring wear and light corner and edge wear. All seams show a bit of wear but are sharp, tight, and intact. There is some general age wear. The original label inner sleeve is included and has long splits on each seam. A generic lined inner sleeve will be included. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.I use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. The USPS has just raised rates yet again, fairly dramatically. As a result I have raised the shipping cost very slightly. For Media Mail, shipping is $5.50 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $5.50 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. If you also happen to win one or more 7” records, those will be shipped separately to keep all records in appropriately sized mailers.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $30. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
