Tip On In
.
EXCELLO Records LP 8008
Original 1968 issue Stereo LP
First Pressing • 1A / 1A Matrix Numbers.
Original tri-color 'arrows' label

VINYL is VG
Glossy vinyl with scattered light non-feelable scratches/scuffs. Plays way above grade. I Play-tested the entire record: clean play with great fidelity; only a little very light low-level surface noise. No loud tics or pops, no groove wear sound or distortion and no skips. Labels are super clean both sides.
.
COVER is VG+
Crisp clean and unfaded, straight and square. Mild shelf wear and few minor, soft edge creases at left edge. No writing, drill hole, soil or other marks. Seams and spine show spots of wear (spine titles completely legible), no splits.

*Please excuse any 'grainy' look to pictures (...from low-light photos).

The first - and the last - album Slim Harpo recorded in True Stereo in his lifetime.
