DONOVAN - Gift from a flower to a garden - Orig. Epic 2 LP box & all inserts
These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system except I do not use Mint as I don't think that any 30+ year old record can be. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding
Anyway, this listing is for a copy of Donovan's flowery box set
Donovan
Gift from a flower to a garden
US orig. Epic label
1968
Cat Number: B2N 171, dead wax matrix ending -1A on all four sides
Mode: Stereo
The Album:
Donovan, king of flower power back in '67/68. I believe this release was originally two separate US-only LP's, which was then bundled into the bells and whistles box set complete with folder of inserts. The set was then issued in the UK on the Pye label, but this is the US Epic package. Great piece of hippiedom, completed by the picture of the Maharishi on the back
Cover: Box is in decent shape if fading a bit. It is strong and intact apart from a short split to one corner of the lid. Bright and clean internally, text on the spine is fully legible. Someone has added the initials PT to the cover. The twelve individual insets are all there in their folder in excellent order
Labels: Yellow labels are bright and clean with few spindle marks. Sadly, the same initials have been added to 2 of the 4 sides
Vinyl: Vinyl has a few of the the customary and expected faint paper scrapes, no nasty marks. Overall it plays really well throughout.
Overall:
A nice copy of this album which plays well - I'd guess it would professionally grade at (cover/vinyl) VG+ /VG+/VG+
Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. I just played a lot of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation. .
Postage: Reflecting new Royal Mail charges April 2014: Within UK, weight ranges usually allow up to three LPs to be posted for the same cost as one. For all other destinations costs are weight dependent, but incremental cost from additional LP's will normally cost less than the first. I am happy to hold records for a while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.
Losses: Royal Mail have reduced maximum compensation to £20 unless items are signed-for. Compensation on signed-for shipments is up to £50. Overseas purchasers - if your purchase is well over £20, a signed for service must be selected when paying or shipping will be at your own risk, not mine, and normal airmail will only be covered for up to £20.
Payment by Sterling cheque / money order, or via Paypal
I have decided to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.
Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my precious vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
