WAR BAR-KAYS 12" LP Budweiser Westwood One Concert of the Month - Shrink Rare NM

For auction is a rare collectible. It's a 12" LP "Budweiser Concert of the Month," featuring live performances by War and Bar-Kays. Vinyl and Cover are Near Mint. Cover is still in original shrink wrap. Vinyl appears unplayed. Date is unknown - believed 1981 based on matrix info and research into these records.

Budwesier beer in the late 70s/early 80s began sponsoring monthly radio shows featuring live concerts of tops soul/r&b acts. Produced by Westwood One, Culver City California. Very little production - these records were intended to be the closest thing to actually being there. Very few LPs were pressed (perhaps as few as 200 per show) and distributed to radio stations nationwide.

Extremely rare and very collectible!

The two bands on this record need no introduction. War and the Bar-Kays helped start the soul-funk movement in the 1960s. The Bar-Kays were the backing band for Isaac Hayes and played on countless soul sessions. War made Low Rider and Spill The Wine a part of the soul-funk lexicon.

Grading Scale

            You deserve an accurate description of what you’re buying. We try our best to give you that. Our records are visually graded under strong light. If we have also played the record, we will say so. If when you receive your record you disagree with our grading, let us know. If you wish, we’ll take it back and refund your money.   

VINYL GRADING: Goldmine Standard

NM  Nice and glossy with no visible defects. Plays without surface noise.

EX  Has been played but is nice and clean and shows little or no wear

VG+ Shows slight signs of wear, such as light scuffs and scratches, which should not significantly affect the listening experience.

VG  Vinyl has lost its gloss and has light scuffs and scratches. When played the record has surface noise especially in the quieter passages and during intros and fades. This noise should not overpower the music.

We do not sell LPs graded lower than VG.

COVER GRADING:

Any of the following will lower the cover's grade from NM to VG+ or VG and will be noted in the description: seam splits, peeling, creases, writing or sticker, ring wear.

            USPS Media mail is a bit slower than Priority Mail, but cheaper and quite reliable. If you need your item quicker, please email us. We’ll provide a quote based on your zip code if you specify a shipping method other than Media Mail. Note that double LPs count as two records.
