Description
Artist: ROBBIE BASHO
Title: THE SEAL OF THE BLUE LOTUS.
Label: Takoma C 1005. Original black label. Mono. Previous owner's name inscribed on label of Side One. (see pics)
Record condition: Good +. Although well used, the scratches and scuffs are mostly superficial. Vinyl is bright and reasonably clean. We suspect that it was kept in inner sleeve most of the time. This actually should be a decent player with some surface noise.
Cover condition: Cover is soiled, top seam completely split. Otherwise no marks or writing or damage.
Notes: Comes with original 8 page insert booklet which is a six page biography and musical history of Basho, along with chord chart and list of first five releases on Takoma. Interesting enough on its own!
Takoma discography lists the title as "The Seal of the Blue Lotus".

· M Mint minus. Clean and bright, no obvious signs of wear, probably played once or twice.
· VG+ Very good plus. Close to like new with only superficial signs of use which will not affect play. A well cared for record that will satisfy most collectors.
· VG Very good. A used but reasonable copy. There will be some signs of wear and possibly light noise during quiet passages, otherwise a nice and acceptable playing copy.
· VG- Very good minus. A used copy with significant wear, marks and likely to have surface noise.
· G+ Good plus. Not a particularly nice copy, however a playable record. We do not like to sell any record in G+ condition unless it is a true rarity and when any copy in playable condition might be desirable.
