Some words on this issue: You are bidding on Lipa Kodi Ya City Council LP, awesome compilation compiled by Mississippi Records. First and only pressing (it's been stated that this will never be repressed), with amazing, primitive hand-made sleeve. Sleeve seen in pic is how it arrived when I purchased - there is visible glue where the sleeve is pasted on, and the glue on some of the folds was undone. No seams splits or wear at all, just an interesting hand-made look to this. The screen job is really well done with bold green/gold color, and the black and white photo is icing on the cake. Back sleeve is great paste-on with track info. Vinyl is EX+, plays perfect.

"This LP takes their reach further yet, heading out all the way to Africa. As usual there is little or no information online about the record, but what we are told (from the back cover) is that this is a collection of African music recorded between 1967 & 1972, and all of it is rare as hens teeth, no doubt unheard by most of the known world. We've got all sorts of styles covered too, from Zambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Somalia and Uganda, we're treated to funk, R+B, pop, juju and choral music, each track representing a different facet of the rich African culture. In fact this doesn't even feel like a compilation, rather a relic of another era. The final track on Side A sums up the record for me, sung by Yesy Ka Mkwebaze it's a choral piece and sounds something like a distant, reverberating choir of angels singing a final song before death, hopeful yet deeply melancholy. This track alone is easily worth the asking price, but bundled along with so many other treats - from Moussa Doumbi's jangling funk-rock to the deeply moving traditional music of Yaseen Mohammed & Saada this is probably Mississippi's best collection yet, and those of you who know the others will realise what a powerful statement that is to make."

New to the e-bay game but long experience in selling records so bid with confidence.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
