Backside of the cover tells the story of the famous Berlin concert 1968 in the Sportpalast in German.
Side 2 + 3 of the Cover (inner sides) show pictures of the mouth´s of the mothers (8 colored pictures).

On the three sites I know of that list FZ variants. I could not find this one. Black label,  on label it says manufactured and marketed by Polydor. And has a NY address on label.

Vinyl: EX-

Label: VG+

Jacket: EX-

Vinyl has some residue, and possible light scuffs. Vinyl seems very light. I saw a pit also in stock vinyl Label looks good, but close up (see photo) it doesn't look as good. Jacket looks good with only slight ring wear. A very cool gatefold version jacket! Hardly ANY corner wear.

Paypal only

Al LP's are shipped outside of jacket to avoid damage to jacket. Unless record is sealed.

So many sellers here are dealers, what I'm selling I bought to collect, original owner, not over graded, or passed from collector to collector, dealer to dealer. Many I recorded to cassette and only played once. Some not as all.

All items are from my own collection. 

Items were stored upright, out of direct light and left untouched for 20 to 30 years.

If you bid and win more then one item, and are unsure of postage best to wait for me to send invoice to make sure postage is right. I will send invoice on most auctions on Sunday or Monday. Often times I'm not home Saturday, I will respond to questions as soon as I get home or see them. Most times EBay invoice is correct, except when combing 45's and LP's best wait for me.

Postage and handling include time, packing materials, actual postage, tracking or proof of mailing costs. In general it is an average.

Any questions please ask.

Shipping info/:

Shipping in USA includes tracking which is 80 cents and is not reflected in postage price on package. I try and recycle, although most items are shipped with new mailers and packing material. Most items in my collection are in archival sleeves and plastic protective bags ( I did this in the 80's, I don't have any archival supplies now), but not all of them.

Media mail is really slow, but makes sending LP's much more affordable. Please don't grade me on how well or how poorly the Post Office handles shipping time. If you want quicker delivery check first class.

I have heard some delay by USA Customs inspections expected in near future for international orders. Just to let all know. I have not experienced any delay yet. At least so far...
