The GTO's  -  Permanent Damage    (White Label Promo)         STS  1059

This is the very first U.S. WLP pressing of The GTO's Permanent Damage. An essential sociological study of late 60's L.A. rock and roll alternative lifestyles.  Featuring the original Jeff Beck Group, Lowell George, many of the Mothers of Invention and a few cameo surprises (AND of course the 5 wonderful ladies who make up The GTO's).  

Dead Wax has STS - 1059 A 1A on Side 1 and STS - 1059 B 1B on Side 2.  

Vinyl visual Grading:  G/VG with a lot of light storage marks and light scuffing. Has a mottled appearance. No deep marks! Could stand with a good cleaning (might bring it up a grade). NO spindle marks on label. VERY FEW plays. 

Vinyl play Grading:  G/VG with some low level static throughout. The spoken word sections (there are a lot) are where the static noise is most noticable. The music (songs) are far less noisy and play to a VG+ level a lot of the time. Absolutely NO skips, jumps or deep scratch-caused ticks of any kind. Just a constant low-level static type noise. Still an enjoyable listen.  

Cover visual Grading: VG with some bleaching out of the front cover and slight seam wear.Promotional sticker on front bottom right. Spine is really nice. Left top and bottom corners are slightly dented (less than 1/2 inch). Inner gatefold is slightly soiled. Overall though, a fairly nice example.  

Comes with Audiophile style heavy plastic inner sleeve.

Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 35+ years. It is high time to sell off my doubles (of which I have hundreds), and also some items that are no longer of interest to me. My musical tastes run all over the map so there should be something for everyone depending on the particular day.  My goal is to become an HONEST, TRUSTED and RELIABLE provider of EXCELLENT quality vinyl and cds.  The grading system I employ for vinyl will be as follows:

NM:  Virtually unmarked / considered either RARELY PLAYED, AS NEW OPENED, or record could still be SEALED.

VG+:  NO scratches/scuffs. At most a few light surface blemishes which have VERY LITTLE or NO effect on fidelity. 

VG:  Used but CERTAINLY NOT abused, perhaps extremely light surface scratching/scuffing causing noise which DOES NOT significantly compromise the fidelity of the music

G:   There will be visible marking and noise evident but the record will still be listenable and enjoyable, depending on your ears.

I do not use the Mint grading since there really is no such thing as perfection. Also, I will NOT sell noisy vinyl (Fair/Poor gradings) UNLESS I feel that there is significant historical and/or collector interest in the item. 

ALL records will have been visually graded under BRIGHT light and play graded on a Thorens TD165 table with little used Shure cartridge (at about 1.5 grams) and JBL reference headphones with the Treble set HIGH. This play-grading system masks very little so rest assured that my descriptions will be ACCURATE.

All of my listings will have the particulars detailed (ie. any blemishes, detail concerning condition of vinyl, cover, etc.). All records will be shipped in new or top-condition recycled record mailers with well padded corners and extra stiffeners. Original inners will be included if available, and all vinyl/covers will be held within a poly outer (vinyl will be outside of cover).

I will not be held responsible for any items that are lost or damaged in transit, AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. (NO EXCEPTIONS)

I am a reasonable person. If you have issue with any purchased item, please work with me to reach a solution that will be to your liking.  I offer money back guarantees including the original selling price of the item + shipping fees already paid. I will not refund the cost incurred by you to ship the item back to me. ALL bidders with less than 10 positive feedbacks MUST contact me first BEFORE bidding.

TAKE NOTE: SHIPPING IS NOT $4 BUT AS OUTLINED BELOW

SHIPPING/HANDLING:  Since I will be shipping from Canada (terribly expensive postal rates), postage will be flat rate as follows:  

                 1 LP anywhere in Continental U.S./Canada - $7                               1 LP Overseas (U.K and Japan ONLY!) - $12 

   It costs me MORE THAN TWICE the $4 listed below to post an album, so I have to set the above costs.  Multiple items will be quoted upon request!  Generally, it should be about $2 more per lp shipped. These shipping/handling rates are still DEFINITELY LESS than my actual costs.  The countries listed in these shipping rates are the only countries that I will ship to (NO EXCEPTIONS.....well, maybe...but you will have to contact me first FOR SURE!). Feel free to ask questions at any time. No question will go unanswered. I have done A LOT OF VINYL BUYING on ebay and have encountered pretty much every conceivable issue.

On occasion, I will be listing cds. All of the cds will have their particular condition detailed within the listing. Shipping for cds will be $3 within Canada/U.S. and $5 to U.K./Japan. I will, of course, offer shipping/handling cost breaks on multiple items BUT since I am shipping from Canada (where we live with NOTORIOUSLY high postal rates), you may not receive the price break that you are hoping for.   AGAIN, being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing some of the costs of postage and ALL of the costs of shipping materials.

Payment by PayPal.  Payment required within 10 days of auction end. Shipment will be made within 48 hours of receipt of payment (I can only make it to the Post Office every other day).

NO REFUNDS will be issued for sealed items once they are opened.
