Description
Excellent promo copy of the oddly named Afro Blues Quintet Plus One. The "quintet" released several singles and LPs in the mid-to-later 60's, their sound bouncing off a jazz base into funk, soul, Latin rhythms and blues, all with a groove beat. This is a white label promo on the highly regarded Mira label out of Los Angeles, sister label to Mirwood and Surrey. Vinyl grades VG++, only a handful of very light marks that do not affect playback. Like new gloss. Labels are NM, clean and bright, unmarked. Excellent copy of very interesting mid-60's soul/funk/jazz stew.
If a sound sample is included above for a 45 single, it is from the actual record. Both sides will be played on the sample, about 45 seconds of each.

RECORD GRADING (SEE PHOTOS FOR NOTED DEFECTS):- Mint (M) (only if sealed). Not used for 7".
- Near Mint (NM): Very little evidence of use, glossy surface, minimal vinyl marking; labels are clean and crisp with no writing, ring wear or significant spindle marking; jackets are clean and square, no writing, no splits, no ring wear.
- Very Good+ (VG+) : Vinyl shows use but has been well cared for, surface has light scuffs or very light scratches (not feelable) that will not significantly degrade the sound; labels are clean with only minor ring wear, any writing or sticker/residue is discrete, only slight soiling or dirtiness, drill hole OK if label otherwise clean; jackets are clean with no more than light ring wear, minor corner dings, if writing on the cover it is discrete, no more than one slight seam split, light creasing, cutout hole or corner only if rest of jacket is free of defects - multiple flaws of the types described will drop grade.
- Very Good (VG): Vinyl shows significant use with more scuffing or light scratches but will play through without skipping, may be slight warping but will play through (without having to tape a penny to the tonearm like the old days!) and nothing that will cause a significant bobbing of the tone arm, will have surface noise particularly at intro and in soft passages, dimished or irregular gloss; labels may have significant ring wear, more prominent writing or stickers/residue, drill hole, more soiling or dirtiness; sleeves may have multiple splits, writing, creasing, soiling or dirtiness, drill holes or cut corners, and/or ring wear. This is a common grade for older 45's - they were often stored outside of the sleeve which lead to multiple light surface hairline scratches which have not caused significant damage to the vinyl grooves - they will still afford an enjoyable listen.
- Good (G): Infrequent grade usually only applied to rare items, or to one aspect (i.e. the sleeve) if another aspect (i.e. the vinyl) is a significantly higher grade. Vinyl may have significant scuffing or scratching, poor gloss, significant noise on playing but should play through; labels may have glaring writing, significant ring wear, extensive sticker residue, dirtiness; sleeves may have substantial ring wear, extensive seam splitting, taping, prominent writing.
Items are guaranteed and price refunded if returned in the same condition as dispatched. Shipping costs refundable only if, in my opinion, I have mistakingly misrepresented or misgraded the item.
