LP (Item 494645) Warner, 1988 — Condition: Near Mint-
Originally: 7.99
Produced by George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. nTitles include "Body Jackin'", "Storyteller", "Still Tight", "Androgynous View", "Jack Of All Trades", "I'll Do Anything For You", "What If The Girl Says Yes?", and "44-22-38".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has a promo stamp, hype sticker, and is lightly bent at the spine.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

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.

Stompin' At The Savoy – Live
Warner, 1983. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
One of the last albums that Rufus and Chaka Khan ever recorded together – and one of the best, as well!

One In A Million You
Warner, 1980. Very Good+
Larry Graham hits the slow jam generation – stepping aside from his funkier groove for this classic album – a record that gave the world a huge crossover cut in the title track!

Randy Crawford

Secret Combination
Warner, 1981. Very Good+
Rich, proud work from Randy Crawford – sung with the mature mix of jazz and soul that made her one of the more sophisticated mainstream singers of her generation!

Ashford & Simpson

So So Satisfied
Warner, 1977. Very Good+
Sublimely satisfying work from Ashford & Simpson – a stone killer from the height of their late 70s glory days on Warner Brothers!

Prince

Purple Rain
Warner, 1984. Very Good+
One of the greatest crossover albums of the 80s – and the record that catapulted Prince very firmly into the mainstream!

Warner, 1968. Very Good
Fantastic funk from the 60s LA scene – and the first-ever album by a group who would dominate the west coast groove of the time!

Ashford & Simpson

Stay Free
Warner, 1979. Very Good+
Great stuff!

Ashford & Simpson

Musical Affair
Warner, 1980. Very Good+
Near-perfect work from Ashford & Simpson – really grooving in full powerhouse mode here, and never missing a beat!

Ashford & Simpson

Is It Still Good To Ya
Warner, 1978. Very Good
Ashford & Simpson don't need to ask at this point – their in full 70s soul stride here, and it's not good, it's great!

Larry Graham

Victory
Warner, 1983. Sealed
A definite victory for Larry Graham – an album that really put him on top of the early 80s mainstream soul crowd with a great mix of styles!

James Brown

Bodyheat
Polydor, 1976. Very Good
An enduring classic from James Brown – quite possibly the strongest of his late 70s albums, and a record that nicely balances the harder funk of the early part of the decade with a more sophisticated style that almost gets slightly jazzy at times! The vocals are planted strongly at the top ... LP, Vinyl record album

Peggy Scott & Jo Jo Benson

Soulshake
SSS International, Late 60s. Near Mint-
Wonderful soul duet work from Peggy Scott & Jo Jo Benson – a pair who were maybe to the southern scene of the 60s what Marvin Gaye and his ladies were to the Motor City – able to trade lines in a wonderful way, and make their songs always come together with a vibe that was way more ...
