NOTE - The albums listed in my current eBay postings represent a premium assortment of records from my collection that have been gathered from many sources over the past 30 years. They are duplicates to my collection; in other words, I have not kept them just because they are rare or valuable or collectable. They reflect my personal tastes in music, and I’d like to think that each album contains great music that deserves to be heard. As far as I’m concerned, everything I’m posting should be in the collection of an intelligent, informed music fan / record collector.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

One of the best hard psych rock albums of the 1960s, an essential for any collection.

A SEALED PROMOTIONAL COPY of the great self-titled debut by SRC released on Capitol Records (ST 2991), in 1968.

Following strict Goldmine grading standards (see below), this sealed promo copy must be graded NEAR MINT because the cover has a promo "Free" scoring in the upper right corner. There is a slight cover bend in that corner also. The lower corners have minor crimping.

Overall, this is probably the finest copy of this classic, rare record you will ever find.

------ BACKGROUND INFO --------

From the AMG Review:

With the twin leads of Gary Quackenbush and Steve Lyman, the distinctly church-like psychedelic Hammond of Glenn Quackenbush, and the angelic (and anglophile) vocals of Scott Richardson, SRC is a distinctly acidic album unlike anything else from the Detroit scene; there's not a single soul influence to be heard! Instead, ideas were formed from Procol Harum, the Pretty Things, the Who, and blended with the beauty of the Left Banke. "Black Sheep," "Daystar," and "Marionette" are highlights of this distinct album of cosmic psychedelia and melodic childlike pop. It even sounds fresh today. — Jon 'Mojo' Mills

Note: PLEASE EXCUSE THE TERRIBLE SCAN. I am experimenting with a digital camera, and the results as you can see are pretty poor. The album DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS. Sorry! If you need, I can send you a better scan.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I strictly follow Goldmine magazine record grading standards. You will not be surprised by the condition of any of my records. I am a professional. The standards:

# Mint (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played.

# Near Mint (NM or M-) - A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

# Very Good Plus (VG+) - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

# Very Good (VG) - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

# Good (G), Good Plus (G+) - Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

# Poor (P), Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
