EPIC Records BN 26415
Original 1968 issue Stereo LP
1st PRESSING • 1A / 1B MATRIX "Demonstration Copy Not For Sale"

VINYL is EX+
High Gloss Vinyl, close to NEAR MINT with only faint, cosmetic storage mark at edge that is inaudible. No scratches. Clean bright labels both sides with no spindle marks. Pristine but for small, very faint sticker mark on side 2. (NO residue, stickiness, peel, tear or paper remains there.) Just a small spot of slightly darker color where sticker once was.
.
COVER is VG+
Clean, Vivid and unfaded with very light shelf wear and some small faint age spots; lightly bumped corners. No writing, creases or drill hole (most US copies found have a drill hole - not this one). "DEMONSTRATION NOT FOR SALE" stamped on back in red ink - faded but clearly there. SEE LAST PHOTO. Top and bottom seams completely intact. Wear at top of spine. No splits.

*Please excuse any 'grainy' look to pictures (...from low-light photos).

Progressive Rock, Psych and other Rare LPs. _____________________________________________________________________
From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s. . Sadly he has now left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
We had very similar tastes - so numerous prime duplicates are being listed.
Many PROMOS, IMPORTS and 1st PRESSINGS are included
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Truly a great (and enormous) collection! _____________________________________________________________________
You deserve and will receive FAST SHIPPING and CAREFUL, SECURE PACKING.
