Here is a cool find; an original 1975 Triad Music Concepts pressing of the very rare and sought-after "Soul Translation: A Spiritual Suite" by Donald Alexander Strachan and the Freedom Ensemble. A great soulful/spiritual jazz LP here!  A must for fans of Tribe, Strata East and the like! Vinyl is VG+ to EX with only a couple of tiny scuffs visible in bright light. Cover rates VG- overall; there is some ring wear on the front, a few prominent creases and the top seam has two prominent splits; there is a stretch of about four inches of intact seam on the top side. Overall this is still a decent copy of this mega-rare LP, which is very difficult to find in any condition. Do not miss out on this excellent piece of wax!

:::A SPECIAL NOTE FOR OUR ITALIAN CUSTOMERS:::

We will now be asking that all shipments to Italy be sent via registered mail!

We apologize for this, but if you live in  Italy, you are probably just as familiar as we are with the difficulties that can occur regarding the Italian post! Regrettably, we have had so many orders to Italy become lost in the postal stream that we feel sending Italian orders via registered mail is the only way to ensure safe arrival, or at least the ability to track lost items. Unfortunately, this means our Italian customers will have to pay an extra $12.00 for LP shipping in addition to the standard air mail rates for shipping to Europe. We are very sorry to have to make this change (we love our Italian customers!), but we were losing quite a lot of money and our customers were not getting their records, which means everybody loses. Again, you have our deepest apologies, but at this point this is the only option we have to deal with this issue. Thanks for your understanding.
