Tunin Up & Cosignin – Studio Sessions Vol 1
CD (Item 486734) Cheeky I, 2001 — Condition: Used 2CDs
Brilliant work by one of our favorite NuSoul singers! N'Dambi's moving way past her Little Lost Girls Blues album on this set – a beautiful 2CD set that showcases a much more expansive musical vision than before! The set's got the feel of a laidback studio session with N'Dambi – as interludes give way to full tracks, softer songs to harder ones, shifting effortlessly between soul and jazz influences, yet never feeling as if either is an afterthought. We loved N'Dambi's previous album – and this one is miles ahead, showing her to be a soul star as powerful as Erykah Badu, with whom she's worked often! Titles include "Crazy World", "Do Mat Mare Ray", "Bitter Bitter Blue", "Ode To Nina", "See You In My Dreams", "Black Star", "Soul From The Abyss", "Lonely Woman/Eva's Song", and "What's Wrong With You". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
