Description
Up for auction is a magnificent, highly focused trio of original 1968 US psychedelic rock history. This bundle brings together three definitive, underground artifacts from the absolute peak of the late-60s counterculture movement: Chrysalis – Definition, The American Revolution – The American Revolution, and Ford Theatre – Trilogy for the Masses.
These are guaranteed, authentic 1968 US original first pressings—not modern reissues or digital remasters. They come from a meticulously kept private collection where the audio plastic was preserved flawlessly.
Condition Overview:
While the original 50+ year-old cardboard jackets display standard, honest vintage storage wear (graded visually as Very Good / VG due to edge softening, light surface scrapes, and typical ring wear patina), the vinyl discs inside are in Museum-Grade Mint to Near Mint (NM) condition. The wax retains its deep, mirror-like factory luster, showing clean groove lines completely free of scratches, paper scuffs, or tracking wear. For audiophile collectors looking for a pure, click-free, and definitive playback experience, this set is spectacular.
