FAQ

What is Kudu?
Kudu was a sublabel of Creed Taylor's CTI Records which, in the 1970s, mainly released soul- and funk-leaning jazz records, for example by Grover Washington Jr., Esther Phillips and Hank Crawford.

What does "cut-out" mean on the sleeve?
Cut-out copies were marked as remainder stock by the label or a dealer, usually with a small notch, a hole or a clipped corner on the sleeve. The record itself is not affected; it is graded NM-, i.e. close to new. The sleeve (VG) shows clear signs of wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is a US original pressing on Kudu with catalogue number KU-25 S1 and its original inner sleeve.

Do you have more Ron Carter records?
