READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality.

They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute.

Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

Beatles-Related LP 1971 Apple Radha KRSNA Temple Canadian A1 Plates EX!

Collectors of Canadian first pressings know that the Radha KRSNA Temple LP is one of the hardest-to-find Apple titles with first-day issue plates.  Here’s an Excellent example of one!

Vinyl--- EX/EX.  Both sides would have been graded NM, except for some manufacturer’s defects.  This is one beautiful copy.

Plates--- A1/A1.  Definitely first-day issue.

Cover--- EX also.  Canada used high-quality cardboard for their covers, which made them resistant to ringwear and dirtwear.  This copy has trace amounts.  All seams and spine are muscular-strong, NO SPLIT SEAMS.  Graphics are just as sharp and colors are just as punchy as they were in 1971.  Inside LP pocket still smells 1971-brand new.

Gatefold--- NM.  Stunner.  Razor-sharp, NO CENTER SEAM SPLITS.

Insert--- NM.  One of the most beautifully-preserved inserts I’ve ever seen.  Usually, the edges are the first to brown on both sides, but not on this copy.  No wrinkles, no fading, no fraying, no splits.  Looks like it did the day it was spun off the press.

Labels--- NM/NM.  Labels are 100% high gloss.  They look like they were just printed today.  NO SPINDLE MARKS.

Inner Sleeve--- VG+.  Yellowed from the 5 decades.  Creases from improper insertion at the factory.  NO SEAM SPLITS.

A generic inner sleeve will be provided, so as not to damage your original inner sleeve en route.

This is by far, the cleanest copy inside and out, that I have ever seen since I started collecting in 1975.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
