Record Description/Condition

OJIJI 

Canada - Ultra Records - URN2-101 - LP - Release Year 1981

“The Shadow” 

Original Press LP 

Absolutely killer sun-soaked rare groove from the snow-covered land of Canada. Ojiji, born Rupert Harvey, was also the vocalist for the Canadian reggae-funk boogie group Messenjah who had some friggin awesome tracks too. 

The UK library label greats Music De Wolfe must have also really dug what Ojiji was putting out because they would re-release this album in 1981 with new art two years after its original Canadian and of-all-places Australian releases. It has not been reissued since. 

Unfortunately, none of Ojiji or Messenjah recordings have gotten the reissue treatment which is a same because he’s responsible for some of the best tracks out from the ridiculously-stacked and surprisingly-good 80s Canadian reggae scene.

USPS is my preferred shipping method but other services/couriers (DHL, etc.) can be arranged but may come with a fee. Message me first to arrange shipping other than USPS.

Grading, Shipping and Returns

I try to grade conservatively and I adapt this conservative approach to Goldmine Standards but I do use EX and VG- when needed because I feel Goldmine grading is not descriptive enough compared to any other grading system and not always descriptive enough.  NM basically looks and sounds like a mint album while EX would look like a mint or near mint album with maybe one superficial mark or light scuff/hairline or the briefest lightest spot of surface noise or one or two light pops thru both sides.  I also try to provide well-recorded audio samples of the exact item for sale.  You can hear the grade before buying but I promise you won't be disappointed.

When shipping, I use new professional LP or 45 mailers along with sturdy inserts.  Every item will come in a clear plastic outer sleeve, the media will be removed from the sleeve and any included inner sleeve and placed into a new white inner sleeve to prevent seam splits. 

I accept returns up to 30  days and to put any fears of a new seller to bed, I will pay for return shipping. If you have any questions or concerns, message me and I will respond promptly.
