Sapo Self Titled
Bell 1301
Original pressing from 1974 featuring the B-Boy anthem "Been Had" and the very nice tune "Nina". Still factory sealed. I aquired several copies of this album from someone who bought them at a local music store's going out-of-business sale many years ago. All the copies have an "ADVANCED COPY" sticker on the front shrink. The one I opened for myself has the label pictured here. It seems a very safe assumption that this unopened copy is also a white label promo, although I cannot guarantee that since it's still sealed.

Sapo is an excellent Latin-influenced rock horn band with funky overtones, sounding like they may have come out of the San Francisco/Oakland Bay area in the seventies. There are some very serious, good groovin' jams on this LP! These guys can play.

GOLDMINE GRADING
MINT ---- It should appear to be perfect. No scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains, labels or writing, tears or splits. Mint means perfect.

NEAR MINT ---- Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny inconsequential flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident: slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or writing on the cover should all be noted properly.

VERY GOOD PLUS ---- The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or the vinyl or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors.

VERY GOOD ---- Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise, but should not overwhelm the musical experience. Usually a cover is VG when one or two of these problems are evident: ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains, etc.

GOOD ---- Well played with little luster and significant surface noise. Despite defects, record should still play all the way through without skipping. Several cover flaws will be apparent, but should not obliterate the artwork.

POOR ---- Any record or cover that does not qualify for the above "Good" grading should be seen as Poor. Several cover flaws.
