Description
This is an auction for an original vintage lp from my collection.
I bought this used at a church tag sale some years ago...and it's been stored in my non-smoking, climate-controlled home since, in anticipation of a turntable.
I have not bought the turntable, so am now beginning to sell off my records one by one.
From my research online, this appears to be a second pressing of:
THE SEEDS
which includes:
Side One
- I CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE YOU MIND ? misspelling, should be "I Can't Seem to Make You Mine"
- NO ESCAPE
- LOSE YOUR MIND
- EVIL HOODOO
- GIRL, I WANT YOU
- PUSHIN' TOO HARD
- TRY TO UNDERSTAND
- NOBODY SPOIL MY FUN
- IT'S A HARD LIFE
- YOU CAN BE TRUSTED
- EXCUSE, EXCUSE
- FALLIN' IN LOVE
It was issued by the indie record company GNP CRESCENDO with a release date of April, 1966, though there is no date on the album/jacket. From other information I've found online, the label appears to reflect the second pressing because of the colors used in the lettering (white for GNP and black for The Seeds).
The info. written on the inner groove part of the album says:
(side 1) the letter B / then a tiny rectangle with something inside which looks to have been scratched out / then the number 10330
(side 2) GNP - S - 2023 - 2 B10331
The lp cover is still covered in plastic and has a price tag of $3.79. The plastic is split at the top and bottom about 4" in. When I was a kid, I was told to always take the plastic off lps otherwise the cardboard would bend...this appears straight and flat so I guess I shouldn't have listened to whoever gave me that advice!
This particular issue of the cover says that it "includes the hit single "PUSHIN' TOO HARD". The song "I CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE YOU MINE" is spelled correctly on the back of the sleeve but incorrectly on the lp itself.
The original Crescendo sleeve is also present and in good condition.
The only defects are really a shame...the original owner wrote her name and number on the outside rim of the b-side label.
As for the rest, the sleeve has two creases in the corner, but as far as inner sleeves go, is in very good condition.
The sleeve is in very good condition as well. I am not a professional record grader, so don't feel comfortable stating something is mint or near mint, etc., but if you zoom in on the photos, you should be able to form your own opinion. I'd say the lp looks new, and if not for the writing on the label, would be near perfect.
I can't test the record, but it appears unplayed.
Of course, if there are any problems, I am happy to accept returns. Maybe by that time I'll have found a decent turntable! :) I guarantee once you've heard "Pushin' Too Hard" you will never ever get it out of your head again. I'm surprised I didn't know of The Seeds when I was a kid...I learned about them in a vintage teen magazine, then found the album and put it away. Later, out of curiosity, and because I'd never heard what they sounded like, I looked them up on YouTube. There are a few great videos as well as the trailer for a documentary on the group which started showing in theaters this past August.
I will ship with care.
Please email any questions.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
