RUTH COPELAND - I Am What I Am (Invictus SMAS-9802), 1971.
Killer funk-rock from Ms. Ruth, recorded in 1971 in conjunction with George Clinton and members of Parliament/Funkadelic.  Clinton co-wrote two songs for this album and Funkadelic members Eddie Hazel (guitar), Bernier Worrell (keyboards), Billy Nelson (bass), Tiki Fulwood (drums), Ron Bykowski (guitar) act as the backing band here.  
Includes two Rolling Stones songs, "Play With Fire" and "Gimme Shelter".
Nice, solid, heavy funk groove throughout.
The record is a strong, solid VG+ with only a few minor, superficial paper scuffs, imperceptible to the touch, allowing for the downgrade to VG+.  Plays great!  The tri-fold gatefold cover is VG+ with some signs of minor ringwear and shelfwear along the edges/seams.  The inner gatefold and the Side 1 label have been stenciled with the initials of a previous owner -- see photos.
A beauty.  Grab it.

All purchases ship within one day of payment. Tracking information will be provided. Records are professionally packaged in industry-standard heavy cardboard record mailers and secured with cardboard fillers and/or bubble wrap. For albums, all non-factory-sealed records are removed from the cover and shipped in the same polyethylene sleeve so as to negate the possibility of seam splits during transport. For box sets, the records will be shipped INSIDE the boxes, as this is the safest way to make sure there is no collapse or damage to the box itself. 
And no matter what it may say elsewhere, we do NOT ship to Italy. Sorry. Nothing personal. It's just that your postal system has lost or damaged so many shipments over the years that there is no longer a sense of trust involved in shipping packages to Italy. 
All items are VISUALLY GRADED unless otherwise stated. We pride ourselves in ACCURATE and EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE grading.
