REIGN GHOST        Reign Ghost       Allied Record No. 12

      This is an original Canadian Allied Records stereo pressing of Reign Ghost's 1969 self-titled debut. Recorded at the end of 1968. Time honoured psychedelia from some of Oshawa's finest. Bob Bryden in full psychedelic glory. Great vocals from Lynda Squires. Essential Canadian psych lp.

Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has  #12-B (crossed out) A and TG all etched into the run-out. Side 2 has #12-B and TG all etched into the run-out.

Vinyl Visual Grade:  VG+ at best with some light marking and some mottling from age. These Allied pressings did NOT originally come with a paper inner sleeve. Consequently, it is a near impossible task to find one of these in bona fide NM shape. Labels show minimal play. Could use a good cleaning to improve sonics. Overall pretty nice.

Vinyl Play Grade: VG+ at best with GREAT fidelity and some slight static noise, mostly noticeable in between tracks. Allied pressings were probably done at the Quality Records plant as evidenced by the deep grooves (gripper marks). Quality pressings were ok, not great (which is ironic considering their name). Also, did Bob and (particularly) Lynda really need to be that close to the mic.    

Cover Visual Grade: VG at least and maybe a bit better. Ring wear is light front and back. Some yellowing is evident. Light corner wear. Old price marking (permanent marker) front left corner. Seams and spine are all FINE.   

Inner sleeve is non-original plain Audiophile style heavy plastic.

 Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.

ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.

ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:

M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.

NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.

VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.

VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.

G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.

I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.

ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.

I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS. 

SHIPPING FEES:

Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.

ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.  

Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
