NOEL POINTER - All My Reasons LP / 1981 Liberty Records LT-1094

Original first pressing, complete with the original inner sleeve. Tons of great musicians on this album. From soul to jazz to afro funk rhythms. See musicians / instrumentation below. Not easy to find in this condition. Excellent LP!

Vinyl - EX. Only a light random crackle here and there. Very little and entirely in the background on a few rotations. Beautiful copy! Only some light surface / sleeve scuff marks from thick inner sleeve. Only been played a few times. Fully play tested for an accurate detailed grade. No surprises! I take grading and packing serious.

Cover - VG+ A promo hole and very light edge/ringwear. Not much, at all!

All records shipped properly in a brand-new record mailer with vinyl removed from cover to avoid split seams in transIt
