OHO Okinawa PRIVATE PRESS prog-psych ORIGINAL LP

$

65

 Here we offer an ORIGINAL, FIRST PRESSING VG/VG private independent pressing LP by the Baltimore, MD band OHO entitled "Okinawa", issued in 1974. PLEASE NOTE: This original does NOT have the booklet! The COVER here is a solid VG, with a bump/rear crease from the bump, to the upper right corner, and a small half-inch or so seamsplit, possibly from the bump at the top seam upper right. There is moderate ringwear/cover rear, but that is a fairly common problem with this cover, which is light pink, and the cover slick is flat, not glossy or coated in any way. Usually a nice, soft art eraser can work wonders on a cover like this! There is a tiny edge chip (attached) on spine. All in all, a very respectable & solid cover! The VINYL is a strong overall VG, mainly due to a few tiny to small contained marks/fines scratches on Side One, Tracks 2 and 3. These are confined to a couple of areas, and the marks on Track 2 (at their worst...tested 3 times on our old Dual 505 with ADC XLM Mk III cartridge tracking at 1.6 grams) audibly tick for 8 to 9 revolutions, while at their best, play with some occasional slightly to lightly audible background noise (click...crackle), but the music is in the foreground, so overall it really doesn't distract all that much! The marks on Track 3 are again audible (background noise as noted above, light ticks/pops 1st half of track), but music is upfront! Side Two is a strong VG+, with one fine superficial rub on the last track, and a few hairlines. Please don't let our honest detailed description scare you away...a very respectable original nonetheless, just don't expect perfection! Offered at a VERY fair starting bid, with NO RESERVE...a real chance to score a bargain on this Pokora listed classic!
