Media Grade: NM a deadstock copy, unsealed by me, played carefully twice, hear soundclips, 7 different tracks from the lp
Sleeve Grade: NM still in original shrink
Year / Label / Catalogue : 1980 / Bo-Sound / EB 55379
Brief Comments: Here it is, one of the heaviest grails, Eddie Bo s private press Watch For The Coming 1980 lp. Unlike The Other Side Of 1977 green cover lp, this one has never been reissued in any form. Although some of the tracks are the same, the arrangements are different. Modern Soul / Boogie, Jazz Funk, Country Funk on 2 tracks, Deep Funk Rare Groove? All of the above. Check out the tracks, the correct versions aren t even on YouTube. A few years ago, 5 sealed copies were uncovered, I was able to get one, the rest were sold, in the wind, in collections....
Eddie Bo could bring the funk with the best of them even in 1980, with this modern soul/boogie tinged deep funk monster. Check out the soundclips, pristine minty original unsealed by me, carefully played a couple times , I ll be posting full tracks if anyone requests on You Tube, same name as eBay account, no one else has uploaded them, and they aren t on any streaming services, if anyone requests I hold back, or delete the YouTube full clips upon auction completion, I m happy to do that
Once in a lifetime grail :
Tariffs aren t going to impact used vinyl records / music media, we wish they were never in place at all, so for international buyers, don t worry on that account
For our record grading, we stand by the merits outlined in the scale below, anything VG or below will have a detailed explanation in brackets next to the grade.
For sleeves, we will mention anytime there is split, or defect not visible in the photos in brackets next to the grade, otherwise we refer to the photos for the merit of the grade. Of course any questions, concerns, are always welcome :
Our media grading scale is as follows: Quick note, our VPI is still in storage on the other side of the US, we do brush clean many items carefully, but we have to prioritize, we won t leave anyone stranded with a filthy record, only filthy good We don t factor dust particles into the grading
NM Essentially a pristine album, like new, rarely used.
EX Under bright light if there is any scuffs or mark, which will be inaudible, most collectors and sellers would tend to consider it closer to NM, EX is also the grade others might call VG under the same level of conservative scrutiny.
VG More then a small handful of scuffs, light marks, nothing feelable, will have high-gloss, a thoroughly enjoyable copy that may only have tiny moments of barely perceptible surface noise overpowered by the music. Our VG will satisfy the vast majority of collectors as a nice keeper copy, as collector s ourselves for nearly two decades, this grade is aimed to be a great keeper. Note if say the record has a light DNAP warp, but otherwise is NM, we will automatically put it to VG and detail that. Another scenario is if a copy plays at a solid EX, but visually is VG, the composite grade will be VG , and detailed as such.
VG More hairlines, more marks, maybe a few visible scratches, no more then two feelable scratches which automatically lowers to VG- , there likely will be surface noise, but will play through, still being an enjoyable copy, the audio quality will satisfy most collector s the golden rule: if it doesn t satisfy us, it won t be VG , if a record is otherwise EX, but has a slight momentary skip, where 99 of the record is EX, we will note that, and put it at VG. Usually will retain a nice gloss.
VG- More Scratches than VG, surface noise will jump out more, it be overpowered for longer stretches, or compete with the music in places, it will likely play all the way through on most turntables, a copy that you can still get a decent play enjoyment from.
G Lots of scratches, deeper ones, surface noise now mostly overpowers or competes with the music. It may skip in some places. We don t tend to sell G copies, unless the rarity is so great, and that will be precisely detailed.
Thrashed Pretty much a Theoretical Grade for us, it be for all intents purposes virtually unplayable, it would be for display purposes, or perhaps if you needed the cover but not the record. It s theoretical because so far we haven t sold or identified anything intended to sell at this bottom level.
