The Stooges- The Stooges- Elektra, EKS-74051


Condition:


Record: Fair (F): This record has very heavy scuffing and scratching to it. I have played this record before, and it didn't skip or stick when I played it, but it's in very rough shape... I wouldn't recommend playing it.


Cover: Good (G): This cover has spine wear, edge wear, corner wear, ring wear, strong creasing, strong scuffing and scratching, tearing, staining, abrasions, and a sticker.


Notes: Has the "PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR SALE" Elektra promotional sticker with it; very rare original 1969 white label promotional pressing.



This is a fantastic and incredibly important album. This album deserves a spot in every record collection. It's great. This is  also the incredibly rare white label promotional pressing. I hate to part with this, but I live in an area that is becoming increasingly prone to massive all-destroying out of control wildfires, and I'm cutting the fundamentals of my collection down to that which I can grab easily and get into a car if I need to evacuate. Due to its pretty rough condition (the person that sold it to me wildly overstated the condition), this record doesn't take priority over some of the other things I have (I have a pretty nice normal copy of this title, as well), but I don't want to condemn it to be left behind and possibly burn, so... I'm sending it to a new owner. This deserves to be with an owner that isn't just angry that it's not in the condition it was described as being in, and honestly... it's a promo copy of the first Stooges record, how cool is that? It deserves better than I can offer it, particularly due to the musical significance.



Shipping:
I will only ship within the United States.

Shipping is $3.25 via USPS Media Mail.
I do combine shipping costs, so if you win multiple auctions from me, wait for an invoice. Note that I will only combine shipping for items bought over a two week period. I will hold off on filing a claim if you tell me you're waiting to bid on some items from me that are ending the next week, but I won't extend that courtesy to the week after that.
Unless you contact me beforehand about the matter, I will file a claim if an item isn't paid for after two days.
Due to my job, my weekly window for shipping items out is rather limited. That's why I have 10 business days shipping and handling. I don't always need all that time, but my schedule is restrictive, so sometimes I really do take that long to ship an item out.
Feel free to check out my other listings. I'll be listing a lot of stuff over the next couple months to help offset the cost of a necessary transmission rebuild for my '65 Dart GT a little. You may get lucky and find something you want. If not, hopefully you'll still have a nice day.
