Description

THIS IS A SOLID "GOOD/GOOD" COPY OF THIS IN DEMAND RECORD.

ORIGINAL NIGERIAN ISSUE, AND RETRIEVED FROM LAGOS, NIGERIA.

THE SOUND IS GOOD, WITH DECENT BACKGROUND NOISE AND OCCASIONAL STATIC SOUNDS, BUT IS VERY LISTENABLE, NOT A WHITE-OUT/SNOWSTORM OF RECORD MARKS' NOISE. THE NOISE MAKES A VARIABLE 15-25% OF THE SOUNDSCAPE, IS CONSTANT BUT "SPARSE", NO HUGE POPS OR SOUNDS TO RUIN A SOUND SYSTEM AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONGS ON THE END OF BOTH SIDES (LET YOUR BODY GO AND ISALE EKO), THE SOUND APPROACHES VG. THE RECORD HAS NUMEROUS LIGHT SCRATCHES AND A FEW DEEPER ONES, BUT NO MAJOR ISSUES: NO SKIPS OR STICKS, NO REPETITIVE POPS IN THE SCRATCHES. ONLY THREE SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE, AND THEY DO NOT MAKE THE NOISE ONE MIGHT EXPECT (OTHERWISE I WOULDN'T BE SELLING THIS). THERE IS ONE SCARY LOOKING ONE ON "LET YOUR BODY GO" THAT ONLY MAKES A FEW UNEVENLY DISTRUBUTED SOUNDS, NOT REGULAR CLICKS, AND NOTHING HORRIBLE OR JARRING. THIS COPY COULD NOT BE PLAYED OUT AT A CLUB, IT HAS TOO MUCH NOISE, BUT IS OK AT HOME (WHERE MY WIFE, WHO WOULD RATHER I SELL THE WHOLE COLLECTION, ACTUALLY WANTED TO KEEP THIS ONE....BEWARE, GENTLEMAN, IT HAS POWERS, PLEASE USE CAREFULLY!).

THE COVER IS GOOD WITH A DECENT BLACK TAPE JOB ON THE EDGES.

ON BEN BRUCE RECORDS. 1984.

MONEY BACK IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED.

POSTAGE TO THE US IS $9 PRIORITY, REGISTERED AND INSURED. TO OUTSIDE THE US, $18 FOR AIR MAIL AND REGISTERED, INSURED AT YOUR DISCRETION (DEPENDING ON THE CUSTOMS SITUATION IN YOUR COUNTRY).

PAYMENT BY CASH, WIRE SERVICES (5PEERCENT TAKENOFF FOR THIS), OR PAYPAL (5PEERCENT ADDEDON FOR PAAYPAAL).

GOOD LUCK!
