COUNTRY JOE McDONALD Private Press LP Custom Fidelity SIGNED COVER & The Fish

SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS & MEMORABILIA

We're proud to offer here a copy of the extremely rare self-produced album "Goodbye Blues" by Joe McDonald, before he was "Country Joe." Recorded in 1965 at Custom Fidelity Recorders in Los Angeles, Joe pressed 200 of these in 1967 as gifts for his friends. This private pressing is one of the rarest San Francisco LP's from the 60's; this copy came from Country Joe, who has signed the generic cover and titled it on both sides (there never was a printed cover.) Ultra rare and excellent folk music, too.Custom Fidelity CFS-2348

CONDITION COVER: EX+

CONDITION DISC: EX+/EX- plays well with 9 ticks in the middle of the 2nd track, but no skips or jumps, just ticks.

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound.
We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren’t happy with—no questions asked.

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.

US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.75% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.

International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.  486 (GS 6.5.1 (486))
