Description
Rare original 70's US pressing on BOOLA-BOOLA Records, Oakland CA.
Artist: EUGENE BLACKNELL and THE NEW BREED
Title:
Side A: "THE TRIP - PART 1" [2:28]
Side B: "THE TRIP - PART 2" [2:35]
Label: BOOLA-BOOLA records [W-H-6942] Guaranteed original pressing; NO bootleg or reissue!
Condition: MINT both sides! Labels like new!!
Notes: Huge demand for this powerhouse Funk monster, courtesy of legendary Bay Area guitarist, EUGENE BLACKNELL, who came on strong with all of his recordings. This one in particular demands serious attention, from the very first note. Super HEAVY sound! Written and arranged by the man himself, for the fantastic Oakland based Boola-Boola label. Rough as you like, and rare as hell too, especially in this flawless condition! I got lucky and found a few of these in California several years back, but this is the last copy. Don't sleep, doesn't show up very often, especially in this shape...
A solid addition to any serious Funk collection.

***TERMS and CONDITIONS***
Important: Please read the following carefully BEFORE BIDDING:
I am an avid eBay user with more than six years experience trading records on-line, and previously close to eight hundred positive feedback scores. Never had negative feedback posted, so please bid with confidence. This is my new account which has been set up exclusively for selling activities. All statements made within this auction listing are factual and to the best of my knowledge. I am a record collector first and foremost, and therefore understand your needs as a buyer.
SOUNDFILES: Any and all soundfiles attached to my listings are to be used purely as audio reference only, and bear no significance with the grading/condition of the actual item on offer.
GRADING SCALE:
NM : Looks unplayed, or very well maintained, as close to perfect as it gets. Possibly some very light sleeve marks or an extremely minor flaw that will in no way affect play.
EX : Very close to being perfect, shows some signs of play, handling marks, one or two very light marks expected, but a record that has been handled with care.
VG+ : A shiny copy with a few noticeable flaws, might have a lot or a few light marks, or one big mark/scratch that doesn't affect play. Always plays great, with one or two normal pops/clicks/etc. but minimal distraction.
VG : Considerably marked/scratched up copy, but plays with no serious flaws. A few clicks, pops or light noise should be expected, but nothing seriously affecting play. A very suitable copy for working DJ's.
VG- : Rough copy that will play with some clicks, pops, and light noise. Something to fill the gap until a better one comes along.
G : Very rough, loss of shine. I only list G records that are extremely rare, or play well for the condition.
