East New York Ensemble De Music At The Helm stereo Folkways FTS 33867
Bilal Abdurahman (as, Korean reed), Ameen Nuraldeen (vibes), James Smith (b), Qasim Ubaindullah (d), Jay Rose, Bobby Harvey, Rahkiah Abdurahman (perc) Recorded 1974
The record looks VG++ and plays VG+. It's a hard record to grade because there's a slight warp that causes app. 10 thumps at the beginning of each side that are mostly below the level of the music. The record does not skip. There's also 3 pressing dimples on Side 2 that each cause a few light thumps below the level of the music. Rest of both sides plays M-. The grooves are glossy and do not show wear or damage.
The cover is VG.
The front cover has moderate wear and light ring wear with two areas of sticker residue and tape visible at the top of the pocket. There's a small piece of the slick missing near the top of the pocket. The back cover has moderate wear and ring wear and small writing. The bottom seam is split app. 4 inches at the pocket and is not taped. There's app. 1 inch of heavy wear with ripped slick at the bottom of the spine. The top seam is taped app. 4 inches at the pocket but looks like it was only split 1 inch. The top seam is also split app. 3 inches at the spine and is not taped. The spine has app 1 inch of heavy wear at the top.
Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.
My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-. Records are graded visually using the Goldmine system. M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I play grade any potential problem areas. I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. You will be satisfied. No hassles.
I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY. PLEASE DO NOT ASK.
