Kreed – This Is Kreed – Psych Rock-Garage Rock Vinyl LP – OG

$

305

This is one of those classic, timeless, garage rock gems from the psych rock era. The group is Kreed and they were from the small town of Faribault, MN. The six boys attended private high school at St. James School for Boys. They came from all over the country. In fact, the lead guitarist is from London. They became close friends and started jamming together, eventually doing a couple of concerts to huge acclaim. That led to the school helping them record this, their only album. I don’t know whether any member pursued a musical career after leaving the high school. But their legacy is very special. The album has one cover you’ll instantly recognize. The rest of the album is all original creations from the group. This incredible album was released on the Visions Of Sound label from Minneapolis in 1971, number 71-56. This is the original release of the album. This is the only LP produced on this label. There had been one 7-inch from the label three years earlier. The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few light surface scratches and paper scuffs that do not significantly impact play. With the exception of a few tics right at the start of side two, it plays beautifully with just very light sporadic background noise. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows very light ring wear and very light corner and edge wear including a one inch split in the middle of the bottom seam. The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There is a bit of age discoloration. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.  Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $22. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
