Sabu (Sabu Martinez) - Afro Temple - Cubop/Latin Jazz Percussion - This is a 2002 Reissue from Italy on Vintage Classic Records.  
Jacket:  NM  no issues
Vinyl:    Visual and play both NM

Note on Brazilian LPs:  Maybe it's just on vintage Brazilian/South American pressings, but often when the vinyl even looks pristine there is some level of snap, crackle, pop (SCP) on the recording.  Occasionally that is an issue in US pressings, but mostly from the 1950's.  Bear that in mind when buying these and I will attempt to describe best I can.  If you absolutely need vintage Brazilian recordings with zero surface noise, you might go with CD's, vinyl reissues or streaming.  Maybe those sellers with "mint" copies have the goods, I'm not even sure there.
Also, I purchased most of these from Brazilian sellers 20 years ago.  By purchasing from me you avoid the shipping costs from Brazil and the nightmare of receiving an LP rated VG++/NM that looks like thrift store material, or with warps, skips or other defects not described.  I had to toss so many.  Perhaps they are better now!
I used Discogs for determining release/pressing and pricing info.
I am happy to combine shipping.  Most shipping boxes can handle 3 or 4 LPs.   We can discuss shipping if you purchase more.
PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW ON GRADING, TERMS AND BASIC AUCTION DETAILS
MY LPS
With few exceptions, all the LPs I am offering come from my personal collection.    They have all received excellent care while in my possession both on the turntables/cartridges used and in storage, most having polylined inner sleeves and plastic outer covers.  That doesn't mean they are all perfect as sometimes I wanted albums for a low price, experimentation or easy playing so a decent copy is all I wanted.  In other cases I really wanted as close to new as possible.  
GRADING
Grading is subjective.  I will do my best to be accurate as I want buyers to be satisfied.  I am cleaning all the LPs then both visually and play grading.  Sometimes LPs really are near mint but still have pops or noise due to the PRESSING itself or the original material (as in 1930's jazz recordings).   I will attempt to describe such as I will listen to one full cut from each LP.   I use only the categories VG and NM along with a plus or a minus.     
NM - Jacket tight, no splits, tears, writing, discoloration, etc.  Vinyl - Shiny, clear of most any surface scratches, sounds excellent with no or few pops, scratches except those that perhaps can be heard between cuts or in the quietest of passages.  As noted above if I consider the noise to be part of the PRESSING while the vinyl looks pristine, I will mention that.
VG - Jacket generally tight, will exhibit shelf wear, small splits or tears, etc.   Vinyl - Sound is excellent but has extra pops or noise from being played or perhaps a slight warp that does not inhibit normal play.   Anything below this will not be offered.  
+(-) will be used at my discretion to help further grade the jackets and vinyls.  For example, VG++ might be used where I just can't quite give it a NM status but it's closer to NM than to VG.   I'll do my best but no doubt not everybody is going to see eye to eye with me on every LP.   You'll have to have a little faith here but I do want to maintain my good rating at Ebay so I have an incentive not to over grade.  If I do, you may buy once but not again.   
STANDARD DETAILS
-   All LPs manually cleaned on my Spin Clean set up -  All LPs visually and play graded (I listen to one complete cut per LP, usually 1st cut, Side A unless I see an issue elsewhere) -  All LPs come with paper inner sleeve, most with polylined paper sleeve and plastic cover for jacket (unless otherwise noted) -  All LPs shipped in cardboard LP mailers.  I do NOT make money on shipping.  Minimum media mail postage is $3.20.  I add the cost of the mailers and packaging.  That's it.  I don't understand how some people expect shipping to be lower than seller cost.   -  Returns are NOT accepted unless I've really screwed up.  I am as straightforward in my descriptions as possible.
