For collectors interested in the group's full arc, the debut is essential context — the foundation on which everything else was built. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — a must for the funk, soul, or Motown collector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Off the Record","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49749411823831,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/3535\/5351\/files\/20260902_145613.jpg?v=1788824575","url":"https:\/\/offtherecordstore.com\/products\/commodores-machine-gun-d5rs-7690-2","provider":"Off the Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
