Original RCA APL1-0909, still sealed, NOT FOR SALE - PROMOTIONAL LP

Doesn't get any better than this. Not only is this a sealed 1975 copy of this Funky Feast, it is embossed in the upper right corner
 as a not for sale promo.

Check out the cover picture, and zoom in on the upper right corner for the NFS PROMO imprint.


Cover has ring wear noticeable on shrink. 2 elliptical 1/4" holes in shrink, which are not uncommon.


 Very minor corner edge bumps. Old $1.69 price sticker on shrink.


Vinyl would be assumed to be Mint / Unplayed.


Why buy a reissue? This is a 1975 RCA keeper for your collection. Realistic reserve set.



Funktastic!

Album Notes
Personnel: Weldon Irvine (clarinet, piano, electric piano, synthesizer); Henry Grate, Jr. (guitar); Sonny Fortune (alto saxophone); Everett Hollins, Chris Sullivan (trumpet); Cleveland Freeman (electric bass); Wesley "Gator" Watson (drums); Bud Johnson, Jr. (congas, bongos); Napoleon Revels-Bey (percussion).Liner Note Author: Weldon Irvine.Recording information: RCA's Studio "D", New York City.Photographer: Dave Hecht.Arranger: Weldon Irvine.Spirit Man channels the sonic sprawl of the preceding Cosmic Vortex (Justice Divine) to forge a tighter, more focused approach. Eschewing vocals altogether, it's Weldon Irvine's most balanced and complete recording, deftly combining massive funk grooves with ingenious electronic elements. Featuring a supporting cast including bassist Cleveland Freeman, trumpeters Charles Sullivan and Everett "Blood" Hollins, and saxophonist Sonny Fortune, Spirit Man parallels Herbie Hancock's groundbreaking fusion dates in both the imagination and ferocity of Irvine's keyboards as well as the extraterrestrial reach of its electronic effects. This music is deep, funky, and deeply funky. ~ Jason Ankeny
