Parliament – Motor-Booty Affair– P-Funk–Soul Vinyl LP – George Clinton

$

34

This band, along with close relative Funkadelic, was led by the immortal George Clinton.  Together the two bands are considered the pioneers of the funk movement that started in the 1970’s.  They started as a soulful doo-wop group, but then leveraged influences from Sly and the Family Stone to develop a more hard rock and psych rock sound that ultimately became their own very distinctive funk style.  This was the group’s ninth album and was their fifth consecutive gold album.  It includes two of the group’s biggest hits. It’s a mesmerizing collection that was a huge commercial success.  The album was released on Casablanca in 1978, number NBLP 7125.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play.  It plays with almost no background noise.  There is a name written on the side two label.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The gatefold album cover opens up like a pop-up/punch-out book with cardboard figures.  All pieces are intact.  The cover shows a hint of ring wear and very light corner wear.  All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact.  The custom inner sleeve with photos, artwork, and credits is included and has just a tiny split on the bottom seam.  There is a name written discretely on the inner sleeve. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

As of January 26, 2020, all international shipping rates have gone up 25%.  Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $19.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $27 and each subsequent is just an additional $10. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
