What you are bidding on is a FACTORY SEALED copy of SPIRITS AND WORK: IN MEMORY OF. This is a pressing of this classic lp From the Italy that is a import pressing on ARKAMA RECORDS.   You won't find a better copy.

An original vinyl copy of SPIRITS AND WORM (A&M SP 4229) is among the rarest collectors item LPs around. This item was released briefly in 1969, primarily in the New York City area and only a few copies got out before it disappeared. The legend goes that the album was pulled from distribution because the cover art (a couple of goats resting on a tombstone) was rumored to be satanic. A listen to the music, a collection of love songs with a Jefferson Airplane and Santana type sound, quickly disspells such associations. "Fanny Firecracker" and "You and I Together," featuring the Grace Slick-like vocals of Adrianne Maurici, came out as a single (A&M 1104). Other group members were Carlos Hernandez (primary songwriter), Artie Hicks Jr., Alfred Scotti, and Tommy Parris. Don't know any more about them. Would like to know where they are today and what they're doing. Collectors of obscure vintage psychedlia shouldn't miss out on this.

How we grade records:

NM:  We never rate records this way, someone can find a flaw in the records even sealed....
VG+ :Most of our records fall into this range. Some will be new and unplayed, some will have a few marks, but well taken care of and should play fine.
VG: There are a few marks and scuffs and will have a little noise, but still well enjoyable.
VG- : We will not list these.  Only buy them if you have to have them.
FACTORY SEALED: These lps are a good as you can get, bear in mind it may have a piece of dust on it. It may have a tiny ding on the corner, but what do you expect for records that are 30-40 years old. They are well worth having and probably have less damage on them than you do.  (I'm only saying this for people who expect these things to be totally flaw free after 30 years, if you are that critical DON'T BID, I REPEAT DON'T BID!).  99.9% of you will be well happy with them.


How we grade covers:

NM: We never rate covers this way, you will find a flaw even if we condider perfect.
VG+ This is not mint, there may be a few scuffs, tiny seam splits, mabe a piece of tape, but the cover still looks good considering it's age.
VG: This will be very noticeable larger seam splits, repairs, somewhat worn, but still ok.
VG-: We will not list these.
VG- : We will not list these.  Only buy them if you have to have them.
FACTORY SEALED: These lps are a good as you can get, bear in mind it may have a piece of dust on it. It may have a tiny ding on the corner, but what do you expect for records that are 30-40 years old.
