Description

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.

INSANELY RARE original Sonic stereo first pressing of this funky hard salsa monster from 1972 on Fania's cloud label with Shaft included as the last song on side B credited on the rear cover but NOT on the label!!!  LP is VG-/G visually but plays amazingly well with mostly light and occasionally moderate background noise.  Cover is G+ with a thin piece of transparent tape on the bottom edge, a 3" piece at the opening on top and some tape residue on the perimeter.  This is my personal copy and I'm now parting with it after finally finding a VG copy after searching for 20+ years.  This Sonic first pressing was superbly mastered with every instrument perfectly balanced.  The in-your-face sound comes charging out of the speakers and as a result background noise is minimal and mostly only noticeable during the quiet bits, of which there are, thankfully, few.  This and Ralfi Pagan's debut are two of my all-time favorite hard salsa LPs and are absolutely essential listening.   
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)  NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF US VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
