Items in this lot are:
  • Underground -- Label: Tower -- Record#: ST-5168 stereo

Special note to foreign bidders: I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them. Shipment to foreign buyers is via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable and trackable. Example: United Kingdom 1-2 pounds $45.85 + $2.00 box/tape/pack = $47.85.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Alternatively, if the ending winning bid is less than $50 and if you have perfect feedback and want this shipped first class international, it could be shipped that method with the understanding there is NO REFUND FOR ANY REASON since the item cannot be tracked online or insured. Example: United Kingdom 1-2 pounds $22.30 + $2.00 = $24.30.

Feedback/bidding policy: I check feedback daily and will return feedback promptly. Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it. Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring Pink Floyd, Chocolate Watchband, Jake Holmes, Them, Kim Fowley.

Several unique things about this item: Firstly, the record retains lots of the original shine with a few light marks, and some short moderate marks grading by sight in normal room light. I'm sure if you took this and put it under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes it less than mint. If you're that kind of collector, and after a recent unpleasant experience with a buyer from Malaysia, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

I don't claim this record is mint. I took the time to play it and found the tracks to audibly average a bit better than excellent. You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below.

So this is your chance to own a unique lot at a reasonable price. Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.


Please e-mail if questions.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s).

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Artist: Pink Floyd, Chocolate Watchband, Jake Holmes, Them, Kim Fowley Title: Underground Record(s): Black vinyl with original shine with a few light marks and some short moderate marks, grading by sight in normal room light. Labels: Four-color striped with black print. No stickers, no pen/pencil marks, no spindle marks. There is a punch hole thru the cover and the label. Trailing wax: Side 1: "ST-1-5168-H-3". Side 2: "ST-2-5168-H-3". Inner sleeves: A generic sleeve will be supplied. Cover: Still in shrink wrap. There is a punch hole in the center of the cover. Corners with up to slight wear, some creased tips. Slight general wear front/back. No pen/pencil marks, no stickers, no seam splits. Rate the cover VG to VG+(excellent). Comments: Ii took the time to play this disc and found the tracks to audibly average a bit better than VG+(excellent). You can assign your own grade based on my comments and the grading scale shown below. An excellent and unusual addition to your LP collection. Side 1: Comments: Pink Floyd - See Emily play Up to a very, very light to very light surface noise with two very light pops (3.35) Jake Holmes - Genuine imitation life Up to a very light surface noise with one very light pop (3.25) Them -- Waltz of the flies Up to a very, very light surface noise with some very, very light to very light pops (3.3) Pink Floyd -- A saucerful of secrets Up to a very light surface noise with some very, very light to very light pops (3.2). Strange and bizarre music! Chocolate Watchband - Gone & Passes by Up to a very, very light to very light surface noise (3.5). The strongest track on the disc. Side 2: Comments: Chocolate Watchband - I don't need no doctor Up to a very light surface noise with some very light pops (3.1). Kim Fowley - Love is alive and well Up to some very light pops, one light pop (3.2) Jake Holmes - Leaves never break Up to a very light surface noise with some very light pops (3.2) Them - Square room up to some very light pops, two light pops (3.3) War game - Kim Fowley Up to a very light surface noise. Some very, very light pops. About 40 very light to light pops across the track due to a mark that I can feel (2.8). The weakest track on the disc.

Additional criteria I use when audibly grading records for people:

  • NM(4) = absolutely nothing wrong at all (very rarely happens--I've even opened sealed records and they don't play Near Mint)
  • 3.5-3.9 = very, very light surface noise
  • 3.1-3.4 = very light surface noise, very light pops
  • VG+(3) = up to light pops and light surface noise (below this, one's enjoyment is affected, very subjective)
  • VG(2) = up to medium pops and moderate surface noise
  • G(1) = up to heavy pops and heavy surface noise

I normally ship Lp's in 14"x14"x6" boxes padded in styrofoam. Weight with box is about 1 pound 13 oz. Shipping is: $2.98 Media Rate (1-2 pounds) + $2.10 box/tape/packing + $.90 delivery confirmation = $5.88.

Buyer pays shipping/handling. Standard method within U.S. is Media Rate, $4.00 This includes delivery confirmation which enables you to track shipping of your package online. Outside U.S., e-mail location to determine S/H costs prior to auction end. Insurance / other methods of shipping cost extra. Payment received within ten days of auction ending. Payment via Paypal preferred.
