A Little bit about Taiwan LPs: Taiwan pressings from the 1960s and 70’s are well known by record collectors for their very poor sound quality, and are normally bought/desired by collectors due to their rarity and limited pressings. DO NOT expect to hear your favorite rock album in excellent (or even decent) quality; these albums weren’t made for repeat listening, and definitely not for listening 50+ years after they were made. Personally, I’d advise against playing them on any good turntable/system. Likewise, the jackets are extremely flimsy, thin pieces of paper, often reused from other album covers. DO expect cool cover art (in some cases awesome), fun/odd title misspellings, and colored vinyl. After reading all this, it may help you to understand my grading on these. Thanks!
Thanks for looking! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I’ll answer in a quick and timely fashion. Please wait for invoice before paying – I will combine shipping! Please check my other rock/psych/60s Taiwan LPs up this week! More Beatles LPs listed!
