Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

 

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

 

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

This one is Old, Rare and Mint. This First Pressing is the first edition on the Imperial Records label. In 1970 Imperial was folded into Liberty Records and this was one of the last albums released on Imperial. This copy is opened but in the original shrink wrap. It has never been played. The die-cut, single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear. The die-cuts are the eyes and foreheads. The inner sleeve graphics provide the background in the die-cuts.  This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1969. It has been in storage for 49 years.  Tracklist A1Hunting Tigers Out In "Indiah" Written-By – *, *, * 3:04A2Shirt Written-By – * 4:25A3Tubas In The Moonlight Written-By – * 2:20A4Doctor Jazz Written-By – *,  2:38A5Monster Mash Written-By – ,  3:03A6Ready-Mades Written-By – *, * 3:09B1Ali-Baba's Camel Written-By –  3:30B2Laughing Blues Written-By – * 3:44B3By A Waterfall Written-By – *, * 3:05B4Mr. Apollo Written-By – *, * 4:18B5Canyons Of Your Mind Written-By – * 3:01 Companies, etc. Copyright (c) –  Recorded At –  Record Company –  Record Company –  Record Company –  Published By –  Published By –  Published By –  Published By –  Published By –  Published By –  Pressed By –  Credits Design [Cover] – ,  Photography By –  Producer –  Notes  pressing indicated by 2.875" pressing ring and Bert-Co. label fonts.
