Description

An original vinyl copy of the Sade LP Diamond Life. 
1985 Portrait – FR 39581 
An original US issued vinyl still sealed in shrink wrap, has some minor marks and tears in shrink, but still in fantastic shape for an unopened 40-year-old record. 
It could have been that Sade (collectively, the vocalist Sade Adu and her band) would have remained the darlings solely of the British underground rare-groove scene, but the sound of Diamond Life proved irresistible to the mainstream, and the rest is history. 
Caught at the beginning of her career in 1985, Sade's cool vocals and exotic looks grabbed everyone's attention. But equally as important to Diamond Life's success was the velvet muscle of the band's accompaniment, a sinewy after-hours groove, laden with minimalist funk. Eight of the nine tracks are self-penned. 
Straddling R&B and pop, this album lays out the hooks and sultry allure that became Sade's soulful standard - intelligent and sexy at the same time. 
A visual grade is given, if there are any marks I will mention and play through. If the vinyl does not play well on your player I will take back, no problems.
