                                                            rarely surfaces, even when in poor condition, check out past auction

                                                history at  Popsikes! This is Pure Evangelical Gospel Funk at its best!  
                                                I learned reading at Popsike, that this LP has many amazing

                                                            "Cadet/Chess players backing up the Youth Choir- including

                                                            Gene Barge, Phillip Upchurch & Charles Pitman! Just comped

                                                            by the Numero Group!"

                                                            This LP does not come up for auction very often,  and rarely in

                                                            such great condition, with the vinyl being in near mint condition.

                                                            Don't sleep on this one, you won't see another like  in a long time,

                                                            if ever.

LISTEN TO THE CLIP, Recorded from this very LP, unedited! see player above.

SS (Still Sealed): Album is still sealed in ORIGINAL factory shrink wrap, it is unopened, record and sleeve should be near mint.

M (Mint): Cover shows no signs of wear or rings, shrink wrap removed, but record never played, perfection. We seldom use this grade.

M- / NM (Near Mint): Cover shows very minor signs of wear, no creases, no rings or split seams, the record can have a few scuffs or tiny light scratches, but it plays perfectly with no surface noise, the label is clean and unmarked.

VG++ / EX (Excellent): Cover shows slight ring, corner creases or edge wear, no wrinkles, puckers or seam splits, no writing on cover. Disc should have 6 or less fine scratches or scuffs , may have writing on label, and should play with hardly any surface noise. The condition of this vinyl is excellent. No skips!

VG+ (Very Good Plus): Cover is clean and will have SOME of the following flaws: writing, creases, frayed corners, edge wear, stains, ring, split seams, but NOT all of these to retain this grade. If too many flaws, it gets downgraded to VG. The disc will typcially have scratches and scuffs, good lustre and can have writing on label, but not deep scratches/scuffs that significantly affect audio quality, there should not be any skips. If we detect a deep scratch it is normal we play-grade through the scratch, to ensure we are not selling vinyl that has a skip.

VG,G,F (Very Good, Good, Fair): You will only see this grade for the cover or disc (not both!), when one part of the item in question is in VG+ or better condition and especially collectible. The majority of our vinyl has VG+ or better grade. Flaws will be noted with the grade.
