Description
Here's a very decent player copy of Larry Willis' super sought-after Groove Merchant title "Inner Crisis". Both, the record and the jacket are VG-, with their own issues, although the record plays through pretty smoothly. A very solid player copy if you're seeking a cheaper original. There is a considerable edge warp which remained even after flattening carefully and meticulously with an ORB flattener; however, even the ballads on the record sound pretty solid. The title track sounds amazing. You have to land the stylus carefully on side 2 so that the lip does throw off the stylus, but it does play without an audible "whoosh" and without any jumps or skips. Check out the video of the severity of the edge warp and that it plays through just fine with a 1.5g tracking weight on a higher end Audio Technica stylus. Just a couple of light scratches aside from sleeve rash, no real marks of note aside from the warp.
The jacket has considerable shelf wear and couple piece of light tape repair. The seams have some chipping, but no severe splitting. Still, all things considered this is a G+ jacket.
Record grading: VG (VG- cosmetically, solid to strong VG player) Jacket grading: G+ (VG- and structurally sound but too many issues all in all)
