ARTIST = WILLIAM ONYEABOR

Title = Crashes in love

Country = Nigeria

Year = 1977

Label / Ref / Pressing =  Wifilms Records / WRLP 1001 / Original from Nigeria

Tracks = Side A : Something you'll never forget / Ride on baby  Side B : Crashes in love / Heaven & hell / jungle gods

Here is the legendary, fabled, scarce, sough-after, so hard to find, ultra rare record of the crazy genius William Onyeabor !

There are 2 different versions of the record.  Both are extremely difficult to come across in any condition. The first one (and much rarer version) was recorded with a full band, this is the record that you have here, with 5 tracks. Then years later Onyeabor recorded the record again with synthesizers replacing most of the instruments but with one track missing ("Jungle Gods"). The release numbers of both records are the same (1001). The cover of the earlier version is printed in a brighter shade of blue with a more turquoise hue as opposed to the navy blue of the second release. So, this is the first recording with 5 tracks but presented with the cover of the second version (4 tracks indicated at the back). This is how I got it.

The music ? Well, I have to admit that sometimes it's better to close my big mouth and keep my hands in my pockets...

Just can't resist to play with titles of tracks...

For sure this record is "something you'll never forget"...Yes, "ride on baby"...'till "to be crash in love"...and to go straight to "heaven or hell"...

Big nonsense ! You're talking rubbish melody67nelson ! Stop hallucinogenic mushrooms ! Go to sleep !

OK, you are right. I let you listen to this hallucinating and hallucinogenic music...with "jungle gods" !!! ah ah ah !!!

NM (NEAR MINT) : Near perfect copy, played only a few times. At worst it may have one or two insignificant flaws.The highest grade I give for a non-sealed record / Disque et pochette impéccables, a joué seulement quelques fos. Au pire, une ou deux traces insignifiantes. C'est le grade le plus haut que je donne pour un disque non scellé.

EX (EXCELLENT) : Clean copy, there may be a few very light  surface traces/hairlines, it may plays with a few tiny crackles, cover has minor defaults. / Disque en excellent état, possibilité de très lègères traces ou lignes en surface, événtuellement quelques grésillement/craquements insignifiants, pochette avec défauts mineurs....

VG++ (VERY GOOD++) : A few light surface traces/scuffs, plays with very light crackles. There may be a few traces or marks on the cover, corners or slices slightly worn...Nothing serious but is not graded EX because of few minor defaults / Très bon état dans l'ensemble, avec de légères traces et rayures en surface, très légers craquements audibles. Quelques traces ou marques possibles sur la pochette, coins ou tranches légèrement usées. Rien de sérieux mais assez de petits défauts pour ne pas être classé EX.

VG+ (VERY GOOD +) : Played a lot, will show signs of handling, has surface marks and scuffs, plays with light crackles or light surface noise background, no serious scuffs, no serious crackles. Cover slighty worn (traces, light ring wear, dog eared, corner and slices slightly worn...) / Disque qui a tourné, visiblement utilisé, avec des marques et rayures en surface, des craquements légers ou un bruit de surface en fond, mais pas de griffes sérieuses, ni de craquements sérieux. Pochette un peu usée (avec quelques traces, cornée, coins et tranches légèrement abimés, saleté, ect...)

VG (VERY GOOD) : Used record, played a lot, has a lot of surface traces, marks and scuffs, crackles and a few clicks while playing, sometimes constants but not too serious,  no serious clicks, no jumps. Still enjoyable. Cover worn, may have corner and slices worn or damaged, ring wear, serious traces or little splits, slightly ripped / Disque qui a été souvent joué avec beaucoup de traces, marques et rayures diverses, quelques griffes et des craquements audibles, parfois constants mais pas trop sérieux. Ne saute pas. Toujours agréable à écouter... Pochette usée et défraichie, un peu déchirée, coins et tranches cornés ou abimés, traces sérieuses ou petits coups...

VG- (VERY GOOD MINUS) : Played a lot and more (but still playable), a lot of scuffs, marks, and traces, a lot of crackles while playing, sometimes serious, may have a few serious scuffs with serious clicks (no jumps). The cover is in a bad state, damaged... / Disque très utilisé (mais peut l'être encore...), beaucoup de griffes, de traces et de marques, peut avoir de sérieuses rayures , avec de sérieux craquements, ne saute pas. La pochette est en mauvais état, endommagée...

G (GOOD) : Indeed, not so good...but still alive ! Played while his entire life (and once again today !), or really ill-traited...A lot of serious traces, marks and scuffs, serious crackles and surface noise, serious clicks, may have jumps...The cover is really in a very bad state too, even no entire...Must be very rare to be proposed in this state... / En effet, pas si bon...mais encore vivant ! Utilisé durant sa vie entière (et aujourd'hui encore !), ou vraiment maltraité...Beaucoup de sérieuses traces, marques et rayures, sérieux craquements et bruits de surface, rayé et peut même sauter quelques fois...La pochette est aussi en très mauvais état, peut même ne pas être entière...Vraiment une rareté pour être présenté dans cet état...

POOR : ? = dead ? hard or impossible to listen to it...should be listed only in a batch. Cover ? better to say no more cover ! / ? mort ? difficile ou impossible à écouter...devrait être listé uniquement en lot. Pochette ? autant dire qu'il n'y en a plus !
