Ultimate Breaks & Beats Vol 6

LP (Item 9052) Street Beat, 1970s/1980s — Condition: Very Good-
Essential breaks from the early years of hip hop – volume 6 in the now-legendary Ultimate Breaks series! This one has the light blue cover, and the tracks here are all great – and include "Sing A Simple Song" by Please, "2001" by Cecil Holmes & The Black Motion Picture Experience, "Cold Sweat" by James Brown, "Scratchin" by Magic Disco Band, "Son Of Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey, "Down On The Avenue" by Fat Larry's Band, and "I Like Funky Music" by Uncle Louie, with the first 6 featuring the now well known Ultimate B & B extended break edits!  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good - (minus)

  • Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
  • Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
  • This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
  • Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.

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.
