comments: ok they use grail now for cheapo records but well this here it's really the holy grail of jazz funk music period privatly pressed in just few hundred copies, top rarity in the same league with Sound of Liberation and Southern University; with the great Larry Ridley on bass and James Spaulding on flute. 
of particular note: this copy it's SIGNED by Russell Webster and it also came with a kind of small biz card still by the Funkenstein
easily one of the rarest and coolest record i ever offered on eBay since i sign in back in 1999, so in around 20 years
for the top jazz funk soul collector, reissue can't touch this sound
