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!


Vinyl Condition: NM (a beautiful pristine copy!) Cover Condition: NM (a top copy of this gatefold jacket, so crisp!) Year of Release: 1968 Record Label / Catalogue #: Columbia MS 7178 Additional Attributes: gatefold 1st press 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: Paul Williams, the famous music critic who began the highly influential "Crawdaddy" magazine in his dorm at Swarthmore, wrote the linear notes, his review is so well written, eloquent, and descriptive, I will say outright I can't top that!
The legendary Jon Hassell plays trumpet on this!
This recording was inducted into the national archives for it's importance, and influence. 
Really for me it's beyond words, somehow it becomes more transcendent & sublime with each play, I know Rainbow in Curved Air is another famous influential lp (I have that, love it as well!) but I think this is composition masterpiece. 
The vinyl original is the best way to experience this. That's what this is, not just a recording, but an experience, each time a new refreshing one!

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.
