PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

  1.   CONDITION:
  • The cover: "EX" (excellent) to near M- collection copy ... Highly sought / extremely desirable and super-hard to find 1969 original from 54 years later ... the only issues, are insignificant small signs in previous handling = too small to matter? So to say, anyone remotely interested would grab this copy, all things considered. Having NO split seams, no bends, no writing, no delete marks !
  • Incidentally the back cover is of a totally different design, sporting all song lyrics. (LOOK!)
  • Still BEST COPY AROUND!

      • The vinyl: Rated: near M-  plays exceptionally nice through both sides ...both Japan Polydor labels are clean.
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
