Roy Brooks & The Artistic Truth         Ethnic Expressions       stereo    Im-Hotep CS 030     NOT A REISSUE THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE SPIRITUAL JAZZ ORIGINAL PRESS 

Roy Brooks (d, perc) Black Rose, Eddie Jefferson (v), Hamiet Bluiett (bar s, cl), John Stubblefield (ts, fl, b cl), Sonny Fortune (as, fl), Olu Dara (t, e flat horn), Cecil Bridgewater (t, flhn).

 The record looks and plays VG++. It's a nice pressing for a private label issue.  Side 1 has three very light scuffs app 2 inches at end of side.  They are not into the grooves and do not affect play.  Side 2 is clean.  No scratches on either side.  Grooves are bright, glossy and do not show wear or damage.  Spindle marks on both labels.  

LISTEN FOR YOURSELF TO SOUND CLIPS BELOW-BEGINNING, MIDDLE AND END OF EACH SIDE.

   The cover is VG to VG+.  

    The front cover has some heavy wear and ring wear.  The corners are all dented and have heavy wear spots.  The top seam has heavy wear and the bottom seam, moderate wear. Neither seam is split or taped. The spine has heavy wear and the slick is cracking. The back cover has moderate wear and some heavy ring wear. 

Black lines that might be visible at bottom left and top right in pictures are due to photo cropping and not on record.

I WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY.  PLEASE DO NOT ASK.

 My highest grade is M- and I rarely grade 50s or 60s records M-. Records are graded visually using the Goldmine system. M-, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I play grade any potential problem areas.  I attempt to grade conservatively, listing all significant flaws. You will be satisfied.  No hassles.
