ROY AYERS UBIQUITY

UBIQUITY


ORIGINAL 1970 U.S. POLYDOR LP

FACTORY SEALED

HIP-HOP SAMPLE SOURCE


For the crate diggers, MPC heads, beatmakers and bedroom producers:


This is the kind of record hip-hop was built on.


An original vintage U.S. copy of Roy Ayers' landmark Ubiquity LP, still SEALED more than five decades after its original release.


Instead of buying a modern repress to study these grooves, this offers the opportunity to own an untouched vintage copy of the source material itself.

THE SAMPLE-SOURCE CONNECTION:


Roy Ayers became essential listening for generations of hip-hop producers, crate diggers and beatmakers.


This particular album contains several tracks that entered hip-hop's sampling vocabulary.


"HUMMIN'"

Sample-source connection to Kendrick Lamar's "Celebration," produced by Sounwave, and associated with Das EFX's "No Diggedy."


"PAINTED DESERT"

A sample source associated with The Beatnuts' "Get Funky."


"I CAN'T HELP MYSELF"

Associated with The Notorious B.I.G. "Machine Gun Funk" DJ Premier Remix.


That makes this more than a vintage jazz-funk LP.


It is source material.


For producers working with an MPC, SP-404, Maschine, Ableton or another sampling workflow, this is an opportunity to own an original-era copy of music that became part of hip-hop production culture.

I Can't Help Myself

Love

CONDITION:


FACTORY SEALED.


The record has never been opened, inspected or played.


Vinyl is presumed Mint due to its sealed status.


The vintage jacket shows visible age/storage wear, rubbing and cosmetic wear beneath/through the shrink. Please examine all photographs closely for exact condition.


We have intentionally NOT opened this record.


The next owner gets to make that decision.


Whether it stays sealed as a piece of rare-groove history or finally gets opened, dropped on a turntable and sampled into an MPC more than five decades after it was pressed is up to you.


You will receive the exact sealed album shown in the photographs.


A serious piece for the Roy Ayers collector, rare-groove digger, hip-hop historian, DJ, beatmaker or sample-based producer.
