Description
Scott-Heron was a brilliant poet, musician, and social activist. He was very active in the late 60’s and early 70’s with his beautiful compositions that spoke openly and honestly about the social and political issues of the day. He recorded nearly 20 albums as a solo artist. The narrative style on many of his recordings are seen as early hip-hop. In fact, the Allmusic critic wrote that “Scott-Heron’s unique proto-rap style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists”. This is a compilation of thirteen of his most impactful recordings. The messages here are hard-hitting and more than slightly relevant 50 years ago, and the same is true today. The highlights for me are the title track and the historic “Whitely On The Moon”. The album was released on RCA-Bluebird in 1988, number 6994-1-RB. This is a reissue of the album originally released on Flying Dutchman in 1974. The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light paper scuffs that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover still has its original shrink wrap. It shows no ring wear and very light corner wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The original label inner sleeve is included and has a split on the bottom seam. The cover grades NM.

Grading Information:
I always clean and listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.
I use four grades in grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background noise. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.
Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $7.00 in the continental U.S. I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $7.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Also, please keep in mind that if your entire transaction totals $50 or more, I will pay the entire shipping cost.
Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $28. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $40. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
