Description
Rescued from the cut-out bin of Licorice Pizza at a time when the manufacturer's suggested price was $6.98, this is a sealed, nearly flawless copy of Beefheart's 5th album. Text on the back says it was recorded "one night in Los Angeles in 1965," but other sources cite 1967.
Shrink wrap is unbroken except for small tear on lower right corner. It is not overly tight and the album lies perfectly flat indicating no warping. Small punch hole under "Captain" in upper right corner.
Shipping is fully insured via FedEx only to U.S. buyers. Please do not request media mail as I am not a high volume professional trader and FedEx is the service I trust to get valuable items to buyers 100% of the time. Local pick-up in L.A. possible and I charge one shipping fee for multiple purchases.
More about the collection: All albums in this and my other listings are from my personal collection dating back to a long-ago career in rock radio. Record sales are not my livelihood, so rather than attempt to grade them using a system in which I have no expertise, I prefer to let the photos and my honest descriptions tell the story. If they're described as unplayed, it's because I never played them and there've been no other owners. (FYI, I have many albums that were played, just haven't listed them. Most are in great condition, so if you're looking for something specific, please let me know.)
