Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB and virtually PERFECT vinyl LP and a Rhino Records reissue of a classic album on the Atlantic Records label featuring multi-instrumentalist RAHSAAN ROLAND KIRK performing on the tenor saxophone, manzello, stritch, flutes, clarinets, black mystery pipes, and a wide range of percussion instruments--the LP is titled "Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata" and Kirk's virtually solo performance is supported by JOE HABAD TEXIDOR on washboard and percussion instruments, MAURICE McKINLEY on conga drums and SONELIUS SMITH on piano on "Day Dream". The LP is a late 1990s / early 2000s Rhino Records reissue with the serial number SD 1578, a STEREO issue and was made in the United States.
This LP is in SUPERB and virtually PERFECT condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT condition and should play beautifully, with NO significant imperfections; the cover is still in the ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP fully intact except for a clean opening edge opening and the cover has NO imperfections--it's NOT a cutout!  The original plain white inner sleeve is also included and in FLAWLESS shape.
Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).


A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this vinyl LP!
