Artist: Melvonne (or Mel-Vonne) Title: "Be Still"
Year: 1984

Description: very, very rare privately released modern soul gospel on the Celesta label out of Denver, Co. Amazing modern soul tracks throughout the LP, including the original and reprise of "Reachin For the Sky" which you can hear below. The LP comes with with original picture insert of the group as well as the production sleeve, as pictured. Everything is STONE MINT, perfect. The vinyl appears unplayed and was probably never removed from the jacket, while the cover is flawless. This is a 100% perfect copy.

I've listed many privately pressed and independent LPs this week.
Be sure to check my other auctions for more vinyl rarities.
Bidders - I grade my LPs VERY conservatively and accurately under a bright light. A description of the grading scale is below:
M: MINT - perfect. vinyl is pristine / cover is flawless and/or sealed
M- : just under mint. a very, very slight amount of wear on the cover or inaudible wear on the vinyl (surface wear from age, generally) but is otherwise flawless
VG+: vinyl / cover shows signs minor signs age or wear that are more or less undistinct / inaudible.
VG: vinyl / cover shows some visible wear / age but is overall in very good shape. pops and clicks may be ever so slightly noticeable, but don't effect play or overall listening experience.
VG-: vinyl / cover shows some relatively apparent age but is in overall good shape and still a fine copy to own / play.
G+: vinyl shows some heavy wear but overall sounds decent. cover has some flaws or shows much age
G: vinyl is in pretty rough shape visibly but plays ok. cover shows a lot of age or has some major splits or tears.
G-: vinyl looks / sounds pretty rough. cover has major condition issues such as water damage, large rips, etc
*a double "+" or "-" indicates that the condition is just above or below the neighboring grade
