The 24-Carat Black "Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth". 1973 lp on Enterprise Stax label. D.J. Copy Not For Sale. Original inner sleeve. The cover is in VG+ with inch & a half tight split on top right toward opening. The spine and bottom seam are fully intact. Slight wear from storage shows up more because of dark cover. The vinyl has full gloss and clean labels. No writing. Plays near mint on both sides except for 5 ticks repeating at the very beginning of side one during the intro. Because of this I will grade the vinyl at VG+..................................................................................................................... From Allmusic "Classically trained Detroit arranger Dale Warren got his start with the famed Motown label and, from the late '60s throughout the early '70s, composed the majority of string scores for soul artists on Stax Records (arranging for such artists as Billy Eckstine, Eddie Floyd, Isaac Hayes, Albert King, and the Staple Singers, among others). During this time, Warren befriended an up-and-coming Cincinnati soul outfit called the Ditalians. After he convinced them to change their name to 24-Carat Black, he took them under his wing -- both composing and producing their lone album, 1973's Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth, a conceptual work that focused on life in the inner city. The album went unnoticed and fell through the cracks shortly thereafter, as 24-Carat Black never issued any other recordings. But over the years, Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth became a sort of cult classic among hip-hop artists, as such acts as Heal, Young Disciples, and Digable Planets used samples from the album for their own tracks."..................................................................................
