Honore Avolonto et l'orchestre Black Santiago
self-titled (Tropiques Editions Setal, mid-1970s)
ORIGINAL PRESSING
Truly a classic hypnotic album—some consider it a masterpiece of Benin music! This is an ORIGINAL pressing, NOT a reissue!
The cover is close to EX- condition. There is a small and smaller tear on the opening—please see my pictures. There is also some very minor wear on the bottom back. Other than these issues, the cover is very clean, no loss of lamination whatsoever.
The record is EX. No spindle marks. GREAT sheen! There is a small label tear side 2; there is some blue writing on the label. Otherwise this is a beautiful album!

GRADING
I grade vinyl very conservatively. I don't just sell records, I buy them for myself as well. The only records I will grade Mint are sealed records, and even then will note cover condition. I do not rate records Near Mint. The next-highest rating for me is Excellent.
Mint = sealed
EX = like new condition, little to no wear visible
EX- = may have a sleeve mark or two that does not make noise, or slight sign of handling, but still plays excellent
VG+ = no major flaws, looks good and plays great, occasional minor pop or click, used but not abused
VG = may have some marks that play but no skipping; may have some pops and clicks. Still a solid record to listen to.
