This auction is for the ULTRA RARE "POINT OF ENTRY" Lp by PHARAOH, a 1982 Scarab Records release. It has been described as Fusion/Acid Jazz, but I personally think that it is better categorized as AOR Prog fusion Rock with some majorly funky parts...definitely an entertaining listen with the odd combination of instruments and over the top dramatic & wonderfully cheesy vocal style (although some tracks are instrumental, fitting much tighter within the genre of Fusion & Acid Jazz). There are many interesting fusion prog breaks/sections that likely would please sample-hungry crate diggers. The whole recording is recorded amazingly clear and quite professionally while still retaining a strong homebrew private press vibe throughout...I know how it sounds because I used to have an opened copy of it. This is a ridiculously rare private press LP in it's STILL SEALED condition, manufactured in Canada by Precision Audiophile (Willowdale, Ontario), one for the true collector of majorly obscure vinyl. I have set the opening bid very low with no reserve, the lowest it will go & it will not be relisted, so don't miss out. Thanks for viewing my auction & good luck winning. I will happily ship worldwide. Paypal only Please.

please note: eBay has recently changed their policy on what is an acceptable rating score for detailed seller rating feedback...basically any rating less than 4.75 stars out of 5 is considered quite bad from now on by eBay and can actually prevent sellers from posting any new items for sale...I know it sounds rather harsh on their part, but unfortunately it is also true. Please take this into account if you decide to leave detailed feedback ratings for any of my items here on eBay. I truly do try my absolute hardest to make buyers happy with their transaction, quite often losing some money on shipping/packaging costs in order to hopefully retain my status as someone that can continue to sell future items. So please do leave 5 stars if you kindly would so that I can continue selling wonderful & rare records here on eBay. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read this. I know it might seem a little annoying, but I feel it is absolutely necessary at this point to share this knowledge with all buyers and sellers so that it is completely understood by all.
