Soul Albums
Starr Williams - Lightning an electrifying experience - Jahma / VG+/EX / £200 (Rare indemand album with the midtempo modern dancer “I love you”, the cool dsco instrumental “Lightning” plus funky uptempo Rick James inspired tracks like “Rock”. The track “Quarter raw” has a long scuff which causes occasional but super faint barely audible clicks. Cover is super clean and still in shrink.)

Gradings
NM – spotless record. One grading I don’t really use – one tiny mark/scuff/flame/scratch and it’s EX. Many new records will not make this grade.
EX – Basically everything that will look and play great.
VG+ – Will have marks that may very moderately affect play. Might have fairly large amount cosmetic marks not affecting play.
VG – Lots of marks, should still play fairly well but not perfect.
VG- – Lots and lots of marks, see description on how it plays.
