Wahoo! - Original 1973 Finnish RCA Victor 6-track LP

Rare original 1973 RCA Victor 6-track LP from Finnish jazz musician - who rose from a more acoustic jazz setting on his previous album to record this electric and intensive effort with double everything - double guitarist, double bassist, double Rhodes players, double drummers... manifesting quite funky and mostly up tempo interplay with Eero’s own lead saxes - not without a not to Miles Davis in his On The Corner period.

Vinyl has the generic orange company labels with vertical outline RCA logo at left label and horizontal solid Victor text to the mid right. Labels has boxed NCB/Teosto copyright info next to center hole. Vinyl is placed in a matt finish single pocket picture cover.

Condition: VG+(+) (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl is superbly bright and shiny - has a little faint sleeve only inflicted wear - in itself graded Close to Near Mint/Excellent. Labels have a little hardly detectable spindlewear- graded Near Mint.
Cover has a light tag glue residue in the upper front corner, a thin stretch of lower front ringwear and a light degree of creasing from edges - a mild one along the lower part of spine as well. Back has a faint degree of age spotting - back to the card stock is just very prone any kind of smudging or age discolouration.
Seams are intact and straight - the slightly pressurized spine is easily readable and unowrn - upper seam has a little wear towards the lightly dented top opening corner, lower seam has a light degree of rubbing and opening edges are has just faint wear.  Lower corners are very lightly dented - all in all just a little series of more light imperfections - a very nice VG+ cover and a great example overall of a more than 50 years old rare album.
