Welcome to Rock2FunkYourSoul's Rare Vinyl Auction! 150 records with particular focus this week on: Rock, Country, Folk, Psych, Bluegrass, Prog, Experimental, spanning mainly from the 1960's, 70's, and 80's! All pressings are original, I do not sell bootlegs, or reissues :) *If you want to combine shipping from soon to end items, and any item out of this auction, just send me message, it's no problem!

Side A: Bad Luck Baby 3:05
Side B: Give An Account 3:03 (Sonny Boy Williamson blues rock cover!)
Vinyl Condition: NM (the vinyl is pristine, the labels have tiny imperfections, a slight outline of an old sticker on Side A, very hard to see even in person, tiny white dot on side B under "Sonny Boy Williamson" Cover Condition: generic paper sleeve (will include plastic sleeve!) Year of Release: 1974  [Based on looking into the Ripcord Catalogue (Private Pac NW press) and matrix!] Record Label / Catalogue #: Ripcord 45-001 Additional Attributes: extremely rare first release by the Paul de Lay Band, who would go on to record two albums! Commentary (Something like the Beatles, Rush, etc. speak for themselves! This is a space for more obscure items, to provide a loving collector's notes, no dealer hype, just because a Xian private press has 5 seconds of fuzz guitar for example doesn't make it a psych grail out of acid archives or Pokora!) Review: Extremely rare, locally released "demo" 45, the very first release by Paul de Lay Band, sent to a few record labels, radio stations, and sold at concerts, apparently only 200 were pressed.
Awesome blues rock rarity, side A is an original, and side B is an amazing cover of the legendary Sonny Boy Williamson, so you know where they're at!
Pacific Northwest Portland, OR. Ripcord Music, probably one of the rarest things on Ripcord, given it's according to members a demo copy.

My grading system comes from being a longtime collector myself, meaning conservative grading, and transparency :). NM EX VG+ VG VG- G+ 
Some terminology abbreviations: *DNAP = Does Not Affect Play *OIS = Original Inner Sleeve *WLP = White Label Promo
If a record is sealed, I will state "sealed" and presumed "mint", making sure it is flat, and such. Should a buyer win a sealed item, I am happy to unseal it for them upon request. 
Packing is done using LP mailers, record outside of jacket in polysleeve. All records that reach $30+ in final bidding will have a MoFi or similar high quality inner sleeve along with OIS (If OIS is applicable!) 
I have been collecting for about 20 years, and integrity is important to me; I want you to be proud and happy with your purchase, satisfied with accurate grading, and knowing you can have confidence in the record when bidding and purchasing.
At Rock2FunkYourJazzSoul we hope to have the honor of your business, and repeat business if another desired item comes up :)
Although the idea, practices is to absolutely avoid this for your satisfaction, if it happens, returns are accepted, money back, and for domestic purchasers in the US, the return shipping is on us. Everything possible is done to instead have an item you're completely satisfied with, but apart of integrity is standing by the customer, you. 
Please feel free to message with any questions, comments, concerns, and I will be happy to return a thorough, comprehensive response :)
*NOTE: PLEASE ALLOW FOR 5 DAY HANDLING TIME, I WILL ALWAYS INCLUDE TRACKING #*
If You Win Multiple Items Please Wait For My Invoice As I Will Combine Shipping To Be The Lowest Possible Cost For You :)

*NOTE ON CURRENT FEEDBACK: I have 1 negative feedback from a "buy it now" rare first edition book, from a partial refund troll, who refused full refund because they didn't want to return a book they admitted in the messaging was a great deal. eBay is currently adjudicating the matter, otherwise I have only positive feedback, check the one's left from my last vinyl sales for a good idea :)* - It's sad that this has happened, between Discogs, eBay, and selling at record conventions, I've never encountered this before. As someone who values integrity, I believe 99.9% of people are great, and will do good by others.
