visual grade: Vg++ play grade: Vg++ (check the long audio clips of the actual record on auction) labels: clean cover: Vg (check large pictures accurately for all the details) NO tape or writings !
conservative grading
comments: probably one day Mr. Iruoje'll be recognized as one of the greatest record producer of all time (no music mags had ever wrote a single note about him ??!), just check all his incredible EMI productions... he's the history of Nigerian music and the biggest producer. for this incredible, far out & unique record he wrote all the tracks plus arranged them along with Akin Yuba and as session musicians he grouped some real cool cats, including: Jimi Lee (P.R.O.), Nkono Teles and Tunde Williams on trumpet PLUS eight (yes 8) sound men !!? in more then 35 years of record collecting i had never seen an album with 8 engineers & assistant engineers on the mixing board ?! = the sound quality it's absolutely over the top, deep & LOUD ! if you got a big/high quality system, this sound'll put a big smile on you. recently re-pressed by Soundway and apart that i read that it got some pressing defects, the digital reissue'll NEVER sounds as this analog original. i heard that Mr. Iruoje himself don't have it (so just to give an idea of it's rarity) ?! this is the only known copy in circulation and the very same one that was on ebay a coupla of years ago with the "buy it now" option. sometimes i saw Blue Note records sold for $3/4K, records distributed worldwide and pressed in thousands of copies ?! THESE are the real RARE records (never distributed outside of Africa/probably even West Africa and pressed in probably no more then 300/500 copies). check the whole rocket 'cos you'll never hear another record like this one and not sure if you'll ever see an original in such amazing conditions on offer again down on Earth
