Chapter One (Vinyl LP)

Despite being a critical failure on release, this album remains one of the most beguiling in the evolution of Afrobeat. Berkely 'Ike' Jones (Guitar) Laolu 'Akins' Akintobi (Drums) and Mike 'Gbenga' Odumosu (Bass) had all worked with Ginger Baker's band, Salt and bring a unique fusion and understanding of Rock and Psych to the Afro rhythms. Originals on EMI remain highly collectable - one might set you back $4000. This 180g vinyl is pressed with the highest fidelity and comes in all the glory of its original artwork.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
