PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
RARE original Wally Traugott mastered Jacksonville pressing from 1973 on Apple/Capitol's black label with big glossy full color one-sided poster insert, circular hype sticker in the top right hand corner on the front cover and rigid printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!! LP is VG+/VG++ with a few light paper scuffs. Cover has some light wear on the right hand edge at the opening and is still in the original shrink wrap. Poster is pristine and looks like it has never been unfolded. Auction also includes a RARE 8 X 10 black & white glossy publicity photo of the band that was tucked inside the cover. This LP was included in a collection I purchased many years ago that belonged to a former employee at a record distribution center in Skokie, IL (just outside Chicago) who had passed away. His brother contacted me to see if I was interested in purchasing the entire collection, which I was when I saw the jaw-dropping number of promotional items it included. This LP is not a promotional copy but finding the publicity photo inside was a thrill to say the least so don't sleep Fab collectors.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~
MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED
VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL
