Original 1971 1st U.S. 12" Vinyl  Issue & PRESSING On PHILLIPS  PHS-600-350
" OH! PLEASANT HOPE "
Oh! Pleasant Hope is the sixth, and last, album by Blue Cheer until 1983's The Beast Is Back. It features less psychedelia and hard rock and includes more folk rock elements. This is an unusual Blue Cheer album in that Dickie Peterson only sings lead on three songs. Another unusual aspect is that the song "I'm the Light" features extensive use of the sitar and synthesizer, although on the previous album The Original Human Being the song "Babaji (Twilight Raga)" also featured extensive use of the aforementioned instruments.
; Oh! Pleasant Hope upends traditional expectations about this most heavy band, and while their tough, blues-centered rock is still present on songs like "Believer" and "Heart Full of Soul" (not the Yardbirds hit but a Dickie Peterson original), most of the time the music is simpler and quieter, and "Traveling Man," "Money Troubles," and "Ecological Blues" come off like jams cut live in the studio rather than stuff the group labored over for days. And the band flies their freak flag high on the tale of a mythic, mean-spirited cop "Lester the Arrester" and the title track, a likably goofy singalong in which a guy looking for reefer in the midst of a cannabis drought imagines a day when "grass will flow like wine." Oh! Pleasant Hope was recorded at a time when Blue Cheer's fortunes were at a low ebb, and it was the last album they would cut before breaking up for several years; it's hard to imagine anyone thought this was a shrewd commercial move, and at heart, this is an album Blue Cheer made because they felt like doing this, and the relaxed attitude and sense of fun is what makes this album work.

Visual Grading Under Normal lighting
M   New Unopened as in the the original package, unused NM Vinyl is just that, appearing unplayed, unused with no visible usage marks/ accidents/or sleeve scuffs.  NM+ being as close to new as possible, no marks, no significant issue's NM- maybe a hint of a previous handling, hard to see.  EX now beginning to see a lite mark or two, paper scuffs, none deep, absolute no sound issue's, possible occasional lite surface noise .  EX+ hint of usage EX- just a few more signs of previous usage VG now beginning to see and hear more distinctly the fact that this is used vinyl record enjoyable listen too but showing plenty of usage/wear. Still no serious sound issues skips or stik spots VG+ slightly more issue's than EX- VG- no loud overpowering sound issue's but plenty of lite marks, beginning to hear louder tic's and surface noise G   This is the lowest grading scale although playable you may hear continuous surface noise, louder tics, cliks and or pops. G+ Plays through with no skips or stik spots G- Now surface noise is occasionally overpowering, may have a skip or two, plays well enough to appreciate.
Fair  A space filler, a very rare specimen, serious wear and sound issue's
The Cover / Sleeve and Inner Sleeves are graded using the above scale with plenty of pic's and full descriptions of the particular condition.
Play Grading    Usually when there are visible deep marks or potential marks that may effecting the sound quality, I will Test Play these areas to see what if any effects they may have. * This is an very opinionated area of grading, different levels of tolerance, realizing the natural sound of vinyl records new or used, different play back equipment, etc.  Praise the Seller for even opening  his mouth with Sound Quality Opinions! My idea of EX and yours of G+? So just take the comments, look at the Seller's Report Card/ Feed Back, combine with the Visual Grade and the Cost and make your decision! If you receive a Record/Item that is appears to be a definite mistake or intentional description error, than immediately contact the Seller and POLITELY  ask to return the item for a full refund or make an offer of acceptance to keep AS IS! No need to involve EBAY in the return process unless one or both Party's are unreasonable.
Unless stated I will only Play Grade test the areas of concern and random locations. Can not be responsible for the entire records condition.
Always ask questions and request more pic's or info before buying!
