PLEASE READ THIS: Most questions are answered below, and most problems can be avoided by looking at the following information. Chances are you're a record collector, I'm a record collector, we're both nice honest people trying to get by in a cruel world. Let's avoid misunderstandings, problems, etc.

I prefer payment by PAYPAL. It gets me my money quickly and I ship your LP quickly in return. Please make your payment to: midwestcoast@indy.rr.com.

The total amount due is the winning amount PLUS the shipping/handling costs below:

SHIPPING & HANDLING:

*First LP is $4 Media Mail IN THE US

*or $6 for priority mail IN THE US

*or $7 air mail to Canada

*or $12 airmail to Europe and $13 to Japan/Australia/New Zeland.

*OR $6 for international surface mail.

MULTIPLE ITEMS: It’s great if you find multiple items of mine. You will save $$ on shipping and I can ship you by whatever method you want BUT I need you to keep me posted on how long you want to wait before settling up for everything. Once the TEN DAY period is passed you may receive a late payment warning, please don’t panic, just remind me that there are still things you are waiting on to close.

• In the US add .50 for each additional LP MEDIA POST

• or $1 for each additional LP PRIORITY POST

• International Air add $3 for the 2nd LP and $1 for the 3rd

• International Surface add $1 for the 2nd and $1 for the 3rd

• More than three LPs total please contact me for post costs.

!nsurance is your option if you live in the US. $1.30 up to $50 and $2.50 up to $200. Because of the US Post Office policies, !nsuring international packages is prohibitively expensive – it raises the cost of the postage by 200% AND requires a full value customs declaration. Same is true for registered mail, it's way more expensive and I prefer not to use it. If you pay the normal postage rate and tack on "please send registered" or "with !nsurance" at the end, I'll ignore it. 

!nsurance is available for ALL shipping but only recommended for US packages with a value of over $100. All packages are no longer my repsonsibility once they're in the hands of the USPS.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS BE CAREFUL. IF YOU PAY $6 FOR SHIPPING YOUR LP WILL BE SENT VIA SURFACE MAIL.

NOTE: This is a VINYL LP. It might be possible to get it into your CD player but it won’t be good for the LP or the CD player and whatever noises it may make will be entirely unexpected (and later issued as a box set on the kranky label under the name gods’s anise saliva or Peace Leopard Frequency or something. Don't buy it.).

GRADING: Grades are at the end of this listing. Unless a record is truly flawless or brand new but unsealed MINT MINUS (M-) is the highest grade given. The scale I use is from M- EX VG++ VG+ VG VG- with VG+ represent the condition of most LPs that have been taken care of but played over the course of 10-20 years. VG- LPs are records that have significant surface scratches and noticeable noise but do not skip and are still enjoyable. Records in this condition will usually be listed only when they are copies of LPs that are particularly sought in M- condition. All items are guaranteed and may be returned for the full winning amount if you are not satisfied with the described condition; if SEALED LPs are shipped SEALED there is no guarantee (I know what reseals look like and do not sell them as sealed LPs); after receiving payment I can open sealed records here and inspect them before shipping. Any defects, or problems and your payment will be refunded in full.

*Always give a seller an opportunity to correct any problems before leaving feedback.

In over 2,000 transactions I have only had two problems; one was with a guy who was happy with the items, but decided to complain about the shipping charges a couple months after the fact. The second was someone who wanted a refund for an uninsured package lost by the post office. This is why I do not leave feedback until I receive it, as I will return an undeserved negative with a negative.

Psychedelic? Most of what I sell falls into the realm of records collected by people who collect psychedelic music of the 60s and 70s. Most of the time these people look at eBay listings under the word “psych” and that’s why I almost always put that word in my item descriptions, even when it might not be entirely appropriate. It's also very much in the ear of the beholder so please ask me about records you haven't actually heard before bidding. I won't actually lie when asked directly (which also means that when a description is all about how cool the cover is there's a certain caveat implied).

Descriptions are often borrowed from listings in one of the Borderline Books (“Fuzz, Acid & Flowers,” “Tapestry of Delights,” “Dreams, Fantasies & Nightmares,” etc.) or from the All Music Guide site. If you're buying a record SOLELY on the basis of the description of the person trying to talm you into buying it you may want to look for a more detatched perspective for balance. 

PAYMENT: PAYPAL is preferred. Money Orders, IMO’s, checks, well concealed cash may be sent to PO Box 19553 Indianapolis IN 46219 and payable to: STAN DENSKI. Please include the name of the item you’re paying for and your address in with the payment. If you send me money with no explanation I will spend it and always think fondly of you, but I won’t actually send you anything. I do not have the time to track you down.

* Please don't send me an email telling me you'll be paying me soon and including your shipping address; I don't save these. Please include your address and the title of the disc you're paying for when you make payment.

* Please don't ask me to "confirm" your Paypal payment; Paypal does that for you.

* The arrival of your LP or CD will be notification that it has shipped.

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE print your address so I don't have to guess what various letters and numbers are! I've had a slew recently - both US and abroad - where letters in the names of cities and streets look like the mutant offspring of unnatural acts between G's, R's and Q's and numbers in addresses and postal codes which don't even vaguely resemble anything between 0 and 9!  Last week I received a registered letter from Budapest stuffed with cash and nothing else; no mention of what it might be for. I've since spent it on cigarettes & beer and want to send a hearty "Thanks!" out to some guy in Hungary. C'mon! A little help here, OK?

You have TEN DAYS from the close for payment to be received. If you'll be taking longer please met me know. Please don’t win inexpensive LPs that you won’t actually want (come to think of it, please don’t win expensive records if you don’t intend to pay for those either). 

Thank you and my apologies to the 99.999% of you who already know all this stuff! OK.... 

 Dry Ice Test Pressing

US American Sound Mint disc with blank labels.

New England 60s recordings, unreleased LP with Flat Earth Society connections. This was being readied for release in the mid 1990s by the MA reissue label, American Sounds (Patron Saints, Lazy Smoke, etc.) but the project has not yet seen the light of day.

The LP managed to get to the test pressing stage (from an Ohio record pressing plant) and a half dozen or so test pressings were made and sent out to distributors, reviewers, etc.  This may yet see the light of day at some point (though this test press is nearing its 10th birthday as I write this) and really should as it would be celebrated by collectors of 60s garage psych as a lost gem of the era.

Until thin, however, the album has been heard by only a small handful of collectors and this represents a very unique opportunity to own a remarkably rare slab of 60s garage psych vinyl.

Test pressings are normal vinyl LPs and not the same as the more delicate acetate.  Test pressings are the first discs pressed and used to test the accuracy of the mastering and the stampers. They often have enhanced sonics and are sought by audiophiles for that reason.
