Joe Bataan - Salsoul
Mericana - XMS-124
Super rare original release of this funky, funky, funky Latin LP.
Cover is very clean. A couple faint marks and a faint ring mark on the back cover but still very rigid and glossy. Spine and labels are near perfect and have "Bataan" printed as artist. Vinyl looks good and plays fantastic. I can see a few slight scuffs, but nothing that makes noise or affects play. Listen to the video. AMAZING RECORD!
Musically, the album is loaded with hard drums and funky latin rhythms. From discogs... "The story about the origins of the record label Salsoul Records is fantastic: the Cayre brothers, of Syrian-Jewish origin, received one day in 1973 from Joe Bataan the promo of his LP “Salsoul”, and ended up signing with him on their label Mericana. It was Joe’s LP name that inspired the creation of the future homonym record label that would make history in the Disco era, clearly influenced by the sound of Philadelphia International Records musicians and arrangers, and also by the sets of DJs at Le Jardin (Michael Capello among other), an important club at that time. Latin Strut and Aftershower Funk became true landmarks of the Latin scene, as well as the early Disco era."

I am very picky with my grading and I really try to price the records so we both feel satisfied. If you feel I missed the mark on the grading of a record you purchased, please reach out to me. I am selling a very large personal collection and look over a ton of vinyl everyday.
Here are my standards for grading records:
Near Mint (NM)
This is almost a perfect, brand new record that has is most likely still sealed, never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly. The cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other defects. The same goes for inserts, posters, lyric sheets, sleeves, etc. I don't think I have ever graded a record as NM because I don't sell new vinyl.
