This is an original copy of the excellent LOVE ISLAND LP by DEODATO on Warner Brothers Records from 1978. A fantastic soul/jazz/funk/disco record from this legendary artist! The vinyl is in VG condition with some light wear and some light, unobtrusive surface noise. The cover is in VG condition with a few minor scuffs, a one-inch promotional saw-cut on the bottom left corner, and a small amount of paper tearing at the bottom left and right corners of the inner gatefold, as pictured. Don't pass this one up!
