The J.J. Band - Rare Soul/Funk/Jazz/Psych - Original Canadian Polydor 2411 001. Using Goldmine standards, the record grades a very strong VG+ with only a couple slight scuffs, full gloss. Cover grades at a strong VG+ with a touch of ring wear and a delete hole.  Please see pictures for more detail.
"Very rare Belgian Lp from 1970. I found this on Popsike: "First LP by this BELGIAN progressive soul-jazz band featuring members of Plus, El Chicles and Chakachas, recorded 1970 in Brussels and originally released on the “Polydor” label in Belgium and Canada only"
*This copy play grades at NM* Such a great and diverse album, these guys touch on quite a few genres all on one album. Well-structured songs, strong vocals and instrumentation. If you've never heard this, you should! Underrated and way too unknown. Everything from soul/funk to moments of jazzy psych/fuzz... sometimes all in the same song! Pretty cool.  Check youtube for a sample... or just buy it and surprise yourself:-)

Goldmine Grading: 
Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
