Frequently asked questions

Is this the original pressing?
No – this is the 1988 German reissue on Buddah Records; the recordings are ℗ 1976 Buddah Records, Inc.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is almost as new, with at most minimal signs of use. For the cover, VG+ stands for light signs of wear – here additionally with a cut-out mark. We explain all grades on our Vinyl Grading page.

What does „cut-out“ mean?
Cut-outs are remaindered copies that the label deleted from its catalogue and marked, usually with a punched hole, a notch or a clipped corner. The mark only affects the cover, not the record.

Is there more soul and funk?
Yes – browse our Soul / Funk collection.
