Description
A really nice copy of the 1974 Mosaic of the Orient Volume II album by Elias Rahbani on Parlophone (GVDL 97). From what I can tell this is a Greek pressing -- definitely not a reissue. Comes with an original printed inner sleeve featuring a bunch of album covers from the Parlophone-Voix de l'Orient Series of recordings. This one is full of nice drums/breaks and sounds ripe for looping and sampling. The album kicks off with some fuzz type guitar and there are plenty of synth/electronic keyboard licks.
The following are machine etched in the trail-off grooves: GVDL 97 A (side 1) and GVDL 97 B (side 2).
Condition:
Cover: VG+ (Still nice and glossy with dinged corners, a bit of creasing/wear on the open edge -- more noticeable on the back cover; there is a bit of wave to the cover but my sense is this NOT water damage -- just age. No signs of staining/discoloration.)
Vinyl: VG+ (8 out of 10, a couple small nicks, lines and specs of dust -- none of this affected play on my deck, produce an occasional moment of crackle)
This LP comes from a non-smoking home. The record you see in the picture is the record you will receive.
Shipping:
Shipping will be $4.00 for media mail in the U.S. I ship internationally -- but prefer that international bidders contact me first. I usually ship within 24 hours of receiving payment. I will combine shipping if you win multiple items. Also, I tend to recycle boxes, but I always make sure to pack items, particularly records, securely.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I try to give prompt, thorough answers and I am willing to provide additional pictures.
Also, I appreciate potential buyers contacting me before bidding if they have zero feedback. I will only ship to a confirmed address.
