LP: Messengers
Incorporated: Soulful Proclamation Original LP SMI-5001 out of
Oklahoma City
Grade:
Cover:
Vg light wear to back cover see pics. In a photo it looks like the
spine was taped but that is in fact the artwork design. There is no
taping, no splits, it is clean.
Vinyl: Vg A side has a few
light marks which do not affect play for the most part: I did hear a
couple of very very light clicks hiding under the music of He Ain t
Heavy He s My Brother but they are hardly audible. B side looks
cleaner though there is ultra small mark a couple of mm long that
cause clicking at the beginning of the intro to Eleanor Rigsby.
Listen to the soundclip.
Comment: Holy
grail private press rare groove LP. Title cut is a classic funk tune
that s right up there with Cult, or Carl Sherlock Holmes. Same
goes for Frequency Response, which is even better to my ears. There
are some lovely soul cuts on this one as well. This is the same band
that did the L.A. Will Make You Pay LP . High quality
musicianship throughout. Note that even though this is a private
label that put out very few copies it was pressed very well... the
fidelity is superb.
