THE PERFECT CIRCLE
Self Titled Private Funk LP
.
.INNER-CITY Records ICR-114272
Original 1977 issue • Stereo LP
PRIVATE PRESSING

(*NOT the New York Jazz Label of the same name. This INNER CITY RECORDS issued only this one LP)
From back cover: "Inner-City Records is a division of Inner-City Attractions a product of free, black, and new America"
This label ceased to exist very soon after the LP was issued due to legal pressure from NYC Inner City jazz label.

VINYL is EX+
Superb gloss; Side 1 is NM. Side 2 has a very few faintest sleeve marks that do not affect play. Labels are immaculate both sides.
.
COVER is VG-
Generally very clean, but low grade due to moisture damage near bottom edge; still completely intact with no mold, odor, peeling or paper-loss. Inside shows no sign of stain or mark, so this is superficial. Otherwise very clean and nice with only mild shelf wear to front. No creases or soil. Seams and spine are completely intact with light wear to bottom seam only. No splits.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG
