I've unloaded every copy I've ever picked up. I wouldn't pay more than a dollar for it, but that's just me. Mganga is the best, and I think the hardest to find. Parts of it are very similar to Les Baxter circa Tamboo and Ritual. The Capitol albums are nice, especially Brass and Bamboo. Be sure to get the mono versions of these; they have much more presence and dynamics. Also, if using strict standards, a VG album should be very clean. I sell albums to Dustygroove, and when I tell 'em an album is VG, it's very clean with no audible pops or deep marks. [ Edited by: OnyaBirri 2007-07-12 16:49 ]
