Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MEGA RARE 1974 HOLY GRAIL COLLECTIBLE! STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER!!!
A SPIRIT SPEAKS
The Decendants Of Mike And Phoebe
\ USA - STRATA EAST - 19744
Original 1974 first pressing ...
Seriously rare and sought after... tiny pressing from 40 years ago issued on the Strata East label. Noted in collector circles around the globe as a "masterpiece" ...The album seldom ever turns up and has a hefty value, we recently witnessed a VG+ copy sell quickly for $400. The music on A Spirit Speaks is a treasure trove of classical African-American music -- It is a unique blend of heart moving, soul stirring sensations with terrific instrumentions, evoking golden rays of spirituals, blues, and Jazz mixes and topped by layers of beautiful female vocals. The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe – A Spirit Speaks was Bill Lee’s band out of Cleveland, Ohio (Bill's son is Director Spike Lee’s)...A Spirit Speaks remains a very unknown LP, but considered a highly regarded holy grail treasure for those who have experienced the warm complex trips within this world of sublime spiritual jazz/soul/blues. Anything that The Lee family touched is beautiful. The personel consists of 4 of the 7 children born to Mike & Phoebe Lee of Snow Hill, Alabama. SIDE-ATwo Songs For A Boy Named Mark

CONDITION: The Cover: Fantastic solid & crisp, TOP COPY in factory shrink wrapper, rated easily as MINT with no problems anywhere ... hard to better!
Original store price tag still on outside of the cellophane
The Vinyl: Notoriously noisy pressing, besides a few nothing faint shallow scuffs, visuals are in the M-/EX (excellent) level and loaded with original shine...plays some places with a little light surface only because of the lo-fi pressing per normal for this issue...Both labels are mint.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
