Description

Beautiful original 1970 French pressing of the self titled (actually one long word) "Morganmasondowns" vinyl LP on Vogue records with laminated front cover & non glossy back with great label innersleeve (lots of beautiful ladies on some of those covers) this was issued on Roulette records in the USA so there is still a Roulette label on the back cover (LVDS 17215).

A REVIEW I READ: Great American hippie folk-rock with certain pop and psych inflections, released on Roulette label 1970. In parts reminding Pearls before Swine/Tom Rapp. Excellent!

SONGS: A1 Heather Morning 4:12 A2 Home 3:49 A3 Knowing 3:10 A4 Come With Me 3:50 A5 The Time Is At Hand 4:37 B1 Daffodil 3:40 B2 Ah, The World Goes Round 2:40 B3 Sea Song 2:30 B4 Day Of The Fair 2:57 B5 Lullabye 3:07.

CONDITION: the record is near mint (probably new & unplayed!) innersleeve is VG+ with left side corners creased when the label put it in the sleeve 40 years ago. The cover is VG+ with light wear on the corner tip areas & light ringwear (light dirtyness on the back) & a few less than 1/2" tiny hairline creases on the edges.

I DO NOT ACCEPT BEST OFFER & PRICES ARE FIRM ON EVERYTHING I SELL ON EBAY.

GRADING:
I pretty much use the Goldmine & Record Collector magazines standards for grading, I can send you a link for details in depth about record/cover grading. I've been selling records & CD's professionally for over 20 years now & I try to be accurate in my grading (read my feedbacks on that, records are always VISUALLY graded only unless stated).

LP SHIPPING + PACKING & VARIOUS INFO:
I use real coated cardboard LP mailers when I ship vinyl & these are very durable. I usually take the records with the inner sleeves out of the covers (unless factory sealed of course) so they don't split the seams of the cover in shipment. Then I put them in a 2 or 3 mil plastic sleeve & then wrap a plastic bag or two around them to keep them from flopping around in the mailer, this method seems to work best since it adds air & almost works like bubble wrap (keeps the LP's usually under a pound & saves a lot on shipping rates worldwide compared to using cardboard inserts), breakage rate has been way less than 1 in 1000 using this method, if I added cardboard it also would make the weight of it more prone to the corners getting dented in transit if dropped. 10" records & 12" singles count as 1 LP for shipping, single laserdiscs count as 2 LP's for shipping (& I pack 2+ records differently & I have oversized boxes for larger packages...don't worry I've been sending out stuff about 5 days a week for over 20 years now & know exactly what I'm doing over here). I also add plain white inner sleeves so custom innersleeves don't get spit in shipping also (if either company or specialty sleeves came with the record).

All records are BLACK VINYL unless noted & inserts/gatefold covers/posters/custom inner sleeves will be noted in the description if they are included plus promo & cutout marks stated if they are there also. I don't believe in hiding stuff & try to note most everything that should matter to buyers. All 12" vinyl on ebay is automatically listed as 33 1/3 rpm & 7" vinyl as 45 rpm (to save time on listing all this stuff) if you need to confirm speed on a specific item please ask & I can go check.

PAYMENT INFO/RULES:
Please contact me within 3 business days of the end of the auction to confirm you got my end of auction invoice or just pay directly through PayPal at the end of the auction. Payment is expected within 7 days after the auction ends.

SHIPPING & HANDLING RATES:
On this item are listed somewhere on this page, my detailed shipping rates are on a separate page (click on the shipping rates link) if you want to bunch up items to save shipping cost.

OTHER INFO:
I tend to run a lot of the same bands/type of music at the same time. Most cleared payments go out within 24 hours. I'm working by myself here so you are only communicating with me & not a bunch of people & I'm at my computer several times a day & rarely miss a day checking emails. So expect quality hands on service. Everything you see on auction & in my store is (physically) here with me (& no middleman shipping ever!).
Most my items I list go on auction first & then if they don't sell to my store within a few days after the auction ends (for usually more than my minimum bid so watch my auctions to get the best prices on most of the items). I try to keep 25-100 auctions going at all times there are well over 3000 items in my ebay store now. I very much welcome my foreign customers, a full 1/2 or more of all my ebay sales go overseas now so I've become quite used to dealing with overseas buyers.
