*** "THE ODD & THE OBSCURE". Selling rare, interesting, & unusual records for over 40 years. *** THIS ITEM:  MANDALA - Soul Crusade. RARE MONO white label PROMO (great sound!). Heavy soul/funk rock!  CONDITION: Record is NEAR MINT, cover is VG+, has promo sticker &  edge-wear.  NOTE: Be sure to check out my other vinyl listings! This is the place to look for the odd & obscure vinyl artifacts! *** I try to grade very strictly but if I miss something or my player doesn't pick something up, PLEASE contact me FIRST with any problem before opening a case through ebay. These records were all carefully visually graded as well as spot play-graded in most cases, and the appropriate grade and any additional comments will be here in this main description. Please look closely at the pics provided as well as the descriptions when considering purchasing. I do not list any records that skip or stick on my player. If in doubt about anything or need to ask a question, feel free to message me BEFORE ordering. I want happy customers! ****** Sent USPS media rate with tracking/delivery confirm to paypal & ebay-approved USA addresses as shown on my payment received message. I cannot ship to third party addresses. If your address has changed, you MUST first change it in your ebay account BEFORE ordering. Thanks for looking!*** Note concerning grading: Aren't you getting tired of and annoyed by people selling records who don't even bother or take the time to actually grade their records? I've seen alot of sellers only marking a record as "used"! Huh? How "used"? Yes, I actually take the time and effort to grade (visually & also spot play-grading) any records I offer.... AND, you will never see this silly quote in my listings as I've seen in other seller listings: "Didn't play it but it looks ok, needs cleaning, many scratches and marks, but nothing deep". Anyway...: MY grading system is more precise than ebay's: MINT: I almost never use this grade for 45s unless I bought them myself from a store that sells new records (& only when LPs are still sealed AND the cover is not damaged). NEAR MINT: Appears very close to mint or unplayed, but might have been played by me for review and/or grading. EXCELLENT: Maybe a very light surface mark or so that does not affect play in any way.  VG++: Has a couple of light surface marks are not audible (on my player). VG+: Surface marks that are mostly not audible or might be slightly audible in places where music track is low. There might be slight audible noise before the music starts & ends. VG: Surface marks that can be audible at times. VG-: Well-used but still plays through with some audible "tics", still enjoyable. FAIR: I only list records that are in "fair" condition if the record is very rare and highly sought after. In grading records, "GOOD" is NOT good, I seldom will list a record in this grade/condition). Plays through with background noise and pops but still no skips on my player. POOR condition records are NOT listed by me! I do not knowingly list any records that skip or stick on my player. I review most 45s and, due to time restraints, I only spot-check LPs if I can see any possible problem spots. (I rarely even list LPs below VG+ grade unless they are rare or have desirable cover art, etc.).  Concerning ebay's "estimated" delivery time: Even though I state 3 days handling/prep time in my description, I actually ship every 2 BUSINESS days (and sometimes the next day). PLEASE be aware that I have no control over USPS delivery delays AFTER I ship within my stated ebay shipping/prep time. Thanks for understanding!
