DE FRANK PROFESSIONALS

ANOPA NSONOMA N.K.5

Here is excellent original copy of this impossible to find, musically brilliant Ghanaian pressed Funk-Afrobeat-Reggae-Highlife album by 'De Frank and the professionals'. The front cover has a really superb photo of the man wearing his white platform shoes and 'Funky President' Dungarees. This album really is super hard to find today and originals very seldom surface for sale, some sellers say this about many albums, but in this case it just happens to be true. The Funky-Afrobeat music is absolutely brilliant throughout both sides. With this listing i have provided complete MP3s of all tracks, these MP3s were taken directly from the vinyl. All pictures are of the actual item for sale. Please check out my other items, as i am also selling a great extremely rare original copy of a Highlife-Afrobeat album by the 'African Brothers Band.

CONDITION = EX

The vinyl has a excellent original clean sheen, both sides look really superb, there are only a few light signs of careful play, around half way through side two there are a also couple of tiny hard to spot fine marks, these tiny marks cause some clicks for a few turns, otherwise the rest of this mega-rare album plays and sounds excellent with barely any other surface noise to be heard, this album has not had that much play at all so the sound quality is always excellent and clear throughout (Please listen to the MP3s). The matt black labels are in very good condition. The thin single card cover is also in great shape, the front and back are very good with some light signs of wear and age, there is a very small sticker removal mark front top/right, the top and bottom edges are in excellent condition. The spine is great apart from a tiny worn through area right at the centre, this really is very small thought. This is just a really great original copy of this super-rare Funky-Afrobeat-Highlife album that will not disappoint in any way.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE DECIDING TO BID

I pack my records very well with plenty of rigid card support to avoid damage. I keep all Post Office Payment Recipes as proof of postage. I always print my name and address on the back of all parcels i send, so the chances of a item going missing are pretty much nil. I cannot take responsibility for any non-insured items that may be unfortunate to go missing or get damaged in the post. The recorded post option is always there, it may cost a few extra pounds for international buyers, but it is definitely worth it for the extra piece of mind. So, if for some reason a non-insured parcel does not arrive, then i'm afraid that i cannot be held responsible for loss or damage. If you do not agree to this then please do not bid. Thank you.
