NIGERIA KILLER BOOGIE FUNK Brakes - Fire Girl Original GRAIL LP

Brakes – Fire Girl   Ben Bruce Records – BBR 003 Nigeria 1984 (original)
Guaranteed original 84 press of the ultimate holy grail of Nigerian boogie funk! Every track on this album is a winner with thick boogie bass and synth, superb vocals and arrangements. The LP is very hard to find and somebody in France even put out a bootleg but its quality is not up to this OG. Also, of the few copies that ever sold online not many were as clean as this one here.
In VG+ condition, vinyl with very light traces of wear, loud press playing without noise, A-side (like many copies) pressed a few mm off center which is slightly audible on the last tracks of side A (a ballad + a dance track - the synth sound sounds slightly shaky to the trained ear), if you want to correct it just enlarge the center hole a bit and position the LP manually on your turntable. Otherwise no problem at all for the remaining six banging tracks.

THE SHIPPING RULES - PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING By buying on this item, you agree that I won't be responsible for items that are lost or damaged in the mail. In all my years selling via the web, I have never had a package lost and only once did an LP break but if you want to be 100% sure you may opt to have the record sent through registered mail at a little extra cost.
I recommend purchases for France and Italy to be sent via registered mail. Recently I haven't had any problems there but the postal service there has a bit of a reputation.
To prevent fraud, I will only ship to the address provided in your Paypal payment. If you want to ship to a different address, please change it in your Paypal settings before you pay.
Also, I reserve the right to cancel any purchases, for example from buyers who have given me problems before, including those who left me with a Paypal chargeback because their records took a while to arrive. 
Any questions? Send me a message!
