Description
Self-titled LP by Ted Lucas on the private press OM label from Michigan 1975. Very rare downer/acid folk artefact from the legendary Lucas, wellknown for his groundbreaking 60s garage psych work with the Spikedrivers and Misty Wizards. Side 1 is moody druggy loner folk with an eerie vibe, especially on the escapist anthem “It’s so nice to be stoned”. Side 2 is psychy drone trance folk recorded live, with a peak in the long killer raga folkpsych track that closes the album. Housed in a tremendous Mouse Studios cover that makes for some of the classiest packaging ever for a 70s private press LP – oddly the Mouse-designed logo was appropriated by AOR band Journey shortly after (!). The LP is very hard to find and has been listed for $200+ on dealer lists in the past. Album is in a complete state with lyric insert promoting Mouse/Lucas merchandise and bonus 45 featuring Lucas’ outfit the Horny Toads, tracks are “California Head” and “My Dog”, on the Zonk label. The LP is in EX/EX condition; the disc is visually M- but the pressing isn’t perfect. The bonus 45 is M-.
I have been collecting and dealing rare 1960s-70s records and items for 20 years. Records are graded M/M-/Ex/Vg++/Vg+/Vg/Vg-/G/F/P based on both aural and visual aspects. “M” corresponds to 10/10 on a 1-10 scale, while “P” equals 1/10. I rarely offer records below Vg+. This is a grading system used by many LP dealers, and I use it for other types of items as well. Grading for LPs/45s is disc/sleeve. Defects or unusual properties of the item will be mentioned specifically. Feel free to inquire during the auction.
I usually have several items up for sale – click on “See seller’s other items” to find more and save $$ on combined shipping!
I encourage use of eBay checkout, but will also send separate e-mails for verification. Shipping costs will be calculated after auction and added to winning bid. 45s and CDs never ship for more than $5 anywhere, LPs never ship for more than $13. If you want to have the parcel sent registered or insured you must specifically require this. No ripoff "additional" fees for handling/eBay/Paypal/whatever added - what you see is what you get. Payment accepted via Paypal (recommended) or cash (US dollar/GB pounds/Euro/SE Kronor) in letter (at your risk). No money orders or cheques.
Winner must get in touch within 3 days after auction’s end and submit payment within 10 days, or item will be withdrawn and negative eBay feedback left. Enforcing this is how I got my only negative comment, and I'm proud of it. Positive eBay feedback always left for smooth transactions. Good luck!
