ASSAGAI Assagai (Original 1971 UK 8-track LP on the large Vertigo 'swirl' label, a fantastic copy of the South African band's debut album, matt gatefold picture sleeve with swirl inner. The sleeve shows remarkably little wear for its 40+ years, with just a 1" seam split to the bottom edge due to the weight of the vinyl, but otherwise just the lightest touch of edge scuffing here or there, & nothing to interfere with the artwork or spine text. The labels are clean and reveal just a littlefaint spindle wear when held to the light. The vinyl has light surface scuffs and hairlines and is graded as EX-/VG+; after professional cleaning, playtesting revealed just a little light crackle in places, but nothing excessive, allowing the warm, deep beats to really shine through & shake the office! A highly recommended Vertigo stunner)
