Description
This is an overall fine copy from a 1983 French reissue (the first in any format) of the rare debut LP by Josefus, originally released in 1970. From Houston, and naming themselves after the first-century Jewish historian Josephus, the group played bass-heavy bluesy psych rock with the passionate vocals of Pete Bailey. The record features several fine original compositions and a stellar cover of the Rolling Stones' "Gimmie Shelter." The jacket's main flaws are around the edges: a 1” split in the bottom seam, a ½” split in the spine, corner creasing and wear, light creasing along the spine and seams, and light edge wear, along with a mostly invisible 2” stain on the front cover -- overall VG+. Visually, the disc is clean with some light hairline scraping and scuffing. The source disc plays with some light surface noise. Either way, its grading is EX(+).
I’m in the process of selling off a large personal collection amassed over two decades. All discs have been stored in plastic lined inner sleeves separate from their jackets. The jackets have been stored in plastic sleeves. I have play graded (spot checked) discs except where otherwise noted.
If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
