Description
I am parting with some of my treasured LPs. Here's a 1969 first PRESSING of IKE TURNER'S amazing LP A BLACK MAN'S SOUL from 1969. Ike never seems to get the credit for how amazing he was. While his early 60's LPs with Tina were great dirty soul, this LP has the greatest grooves that he ever laid down. I think it's one of the most sampled LPs by the rappers looking for great funky rhythms. He recorded it in his spare time while touring with Tina, and rather than relying on vocals and harmonies, he made an instrumental funk/soul LP. Despite the "Electronically re-recorded to simulate stereo" on the cover, this is a first pressing.
This is a great playing copy. The vinyl is clean and glossy, and it plays great with no background sound. Vinyl is a M- with No pops, skips, or background noise..It has rubbing marks on it from the inner sleeve, but that does not effect play at all. The Labels are very beautiful with no spindle marks. The cover has seen some wear. The front retains it's great colors and has some slight ring wear. The back cover is browning a bit in the white parts with age, and ring wear too. The bottom seam is the worst of them all, with a 2+" split along the seam by the spine. The spine and top seam are intact, but sowing some wear. I used to see this LP around much more, but it's a keeper of an LP. One of Ike's best.
It's a very beautiful playing copy. A wonderful addition to any collection.
I love original pressings because I feel every LP is of it's time and place. The vinyl, and record pressings are all from that moment in time, and no re-pressing or re-mastering will ever make the sound better for me. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LPS FOR SALE NOW ON EBAY.

SS = (STILL SEALED) The record itself is in brand new condition, assumed never to have been played.
M = (MINT) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet,
booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

wear and / or creasing.

occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
