OK. Last listings until after the holidays to avoid shipping getting caught up in the rush. Check other my other vinyl deals. They might make nice gifts for audiophiles or just to add to the collection for winter enjoyment.

This is an original 1967 pressing. Nice disk w/ worthy cover rehabilitation. A nice authentic item.

West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band / Volume One - Reprise Records RS 6247 - Stereo - 1967

The glossy disk has only one light superficial line on each side, tempting me to rate it EX. Playback is EX. Even the strictest grading would have it a strong VG+. Labels are clean. This is the real thing

The hand etched matrix is; Side 1 - 30647  RS 6247A  C1 - Side 2 = 30648  RS 6247B  C2

The cover would look to most like a near EX for this title which is very susceptible to shelfwear. The front slick shows very little wear, no sign of touch-ups, except for a smudge on the top right. Has a tiny bit of typical wear on top and bottom center, very minor. The back slick has nothing to report but minor shelf-wear in the orange. The top and bottom seams are fine with only a touch of flaking. Both top and bottom have invisible tape (1/2") at the mouth. (seemingly to prevent splitting, not hide it.) The spine has been meticulously restored. The average person probably not notice it's done so well. The taping is end to end and slick to slick over some sort of repair compound so it looks as if it was professionally done. The maintenance has rendered this cover quite sturdy and fairly presentable. Includes original inner ad sleeve.

My Vinyl Grading

Mint & SS (still sealed) - Factory fresh condition. 

NM - A near perfect record. opened and played but handled and stored carefully. Disk has NO marks and cover has no visible damage or shelf wear.

EX - A record in excellent condition. Disk has been played, yet signs of wear are tough to find. Few if any superficial marks can only be seen under good light and do NOT affect play. Disk has full gloss, clean labels and plays without surface noise (depending on vinyl pressing quality of the record company.) Dust ticks between track is only natural. Covers have crisp seams, no writing and minimal shelf wear.

VG+ = A negotiable well kept record. Disk may have superficial marks from normal use, especially when age comes into play. If any marks are 'feelable' they should not be heard in play. Any surface noise will be reported in my listings. Only light ticks between tracks is to be expected. Covers may have wear due to age and storage, but no seam splits, damage or tears. Any writing would be reported in the listing. 

VG  = This is the condition of most old records. A used record that still plays through very well without skipping. Surface noise does not overcome the song to the point of being annoying. Labels may have writing, but all info is clear. Covers may have minor splits, ringwear, writing or stains but are still presentable.

G or VG- = Only use this grade if the record is very scarce and valuable. The cover still holds the record. The disk still plays without skipping. That's it.

Shipping - I usually ship items the morning after they are paid for. If payments come in after noon, they will be shipped the following business day morning. I will do international shipping, quoting the rate given to me by USPS plus 1.00 for customs headaches. If you live in Italy, Greece, Russia or Mexico, you might want to choose registered mail. 

Packaging - All vinyl records will be shipped in an LP mailer with ample reenforcing to assure it arrives the way it leaves my house. If the box arrives damaged, it would be the fault of mail services. So when in doubt, insure your high-end items.

All records come in a poly sleeve and the record is shipped out of the cover and original inner sleeve to prevent damage in shipment.
