MAURICE MOORE Everything That Shines Ain't Gold LP RARE Funk Modern Soul HEAR

Here is the LP "Everything That Shines Ain't Gold" by Maurice (Moore), Pleasure Records TS-1468, mono, 1976.  Incredibly rare modern soul LP from Warren Ohio, only one other copy ever offered for sale.  This copy is a mono "demo" (which I assume mean it's a test pressing), labels are handwritten in pen.  Features the in-demand track "Everything That Shines Ain't Gold", and 6 other funk/modern soul tracks.           

Will be listing more 70's Jazz, as well as Funk, Soul, R&B and Rock.  Check them out, save on shipping! 

Vinyl is VG-/VG- - Many light scratches and scuffs (nothing quite deep enough to feel with a fingertip), slight warp (doesn't effect play).  Plays with some surface noise, ticks in a couple places (30s during first track).  Labels look VG.     

Sleeve is G+/G+ - Minor-to-moderate wear to corners and edges, some discoloration/dark wear to front and back (some staining near top edge, traces of mildew), bowing.  Front and back images look like they were glued on by hand.  Plain white insert.

As a collector, I try to provide as much information and a description of each record’s condition as possible.  Unless a sound sample is posted (always of the record you are bidding on), records are graded visually.  My grading system is as follows:

M – Mint – Unopened or just opened.  I very rarely use this grade, I reserve it for the most pristine copies.

NM (+&-) – Near Mint – Record has been treated with care.  Free of notable scratches or abrasions.  Label is generally in great condition.   

VG++ (or EX) – Very Good ++ - May have a couple light surface scratches or scuffs, but is very listenable and should not disturb play.  Label may have slight wear, writing or marks.

VG (+&-) – Very Good – May have more than a few light scratches or a couple heavier scratches or scuffs.  May play with some crackling, but not enough to overpower the music.  Sleeve may have a seam split, ring wear, writing, etc.

G (+&-)– Good – Record may have multiple scratches or small gouge(s).  May have significant crackling that may overpower the music, but still listenable.  Label may be torn.

F (+&-) – Fair – Record has significant damage.
