Description

About This Record.  This is an original VERY RARE Brazil copy of The Trashmen's first and only LP featuring Surfin' Bird (Surfing Bird) that was released on the Odeon label in a minuscule pressing. Surfin' Bird was the 1964 proto-original punk garage 45rpm later covered by The Cramps and many other groups.  This is a Brazil promo copy with sticker on label, and a "cut out" cover where someone cut the promotional stamp off one slick on the back over.  This was not intended to be a die-cut cover; somebody cut our part of the back cover . . . .This is the only copy I have ever seen, and I am a long-time owner.  See my original USA mono copy for sale as well.  This Brazil copy is in VERY NICE condition for an LP from this time period and this geographic location! 

PLEASE CHECK my Feedback which will show you my grading, Cover/Vinyl, of other LPs I have recently sold and what the lucky people who are bought them think of them and our experience. The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels. 

I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA and foreign buyers in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase.  Comes hand-cleaned on my VPI 16.5 Record Cleaning machine (hate those automated 17's) and placed in a new dust-free sleeve for your grandchildren.  And at least one plastic sleeves for moisture protection (for you and me).

Cover Condition: Good Plus (G+).  This like the original Brazilian copies from the error come in a plastic encased sleeve.  This sleeve looks not original as there is a rectangle cut out of the back cover, one side of the slick, that likely had a promotional designation.  There are tape marks on the cover where it appears the cover was taped before the previous owner resealed it.  The cover is otherwise in great shape. I bought this many years ago.  Please See all the Photos I took.  I didn't take them for fun and frolic.

Vinyl Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+) vinyl with just light visual marks.  Looks STRONG VG to VG+, plays solid VG+ with many many many EX moments, no major problems at all; just light background noise; Plays great.  Very difficult to upgrade.  Highly recommended.

Labels. Near Mint (NM) labels.  Please see photos of all labels.

Inserts: Comes with original plain white (now brown) paper inner sleeve, but no worries, this LP also comes cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and in a new rice paper sleeve equivalent.

Packaging.  I clean all vinyl on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original.  I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve after cleaning from the cover, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic innersleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool records transition to your record collection.  I use sturdy carboard containers with real corners and pack with at least two insert stiffeners, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and/or “Fragile” or something like that to help facilitate a safe passage.

Shipping and Payment.  PayPal only.  I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . .  I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways, unless you live outside North America in which case I will refund you shipping one way unless I made a mistake which I sometimes do because I am only human..  CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  Please add sales tax!
