PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


ULTRA RARE original Big Foot BF 714 test pressing of this Chicago-rooted classic from the PRC (Recording Company) plant in Richmond, IN from 1971 in what is most likely the original sleeve with track times written next to the song titles and the first two band members' names misspelt at the top!!!  Vinyl is VG with a tiny scratch at the start of track A2 that can be lightly felt.  Cover is VG+ with no splits or seams.  Auction also includes a RARE original Aliotta Haynes And Jeremiah self-released solid yellow label 45 of the title track from 197? with NO production credit to the left of the center hole!!!  Vinyl is VG+/VG++ with a few barely visible paper scuffs.  A VERY nice copy.  This LP was included in a jaw-dropping collection I purchased around 10 years ago from a former radio station employee and the 45 was inside the sleeve but I can't bring myself to separate them so they're being auctioned as a pair.  


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
