Here we offer a very cool, FACTORY SEALED original FIRST PRESSING U.S. Oracle ORS-703 LP, the S/T album by Brother Fox and the Tar Baby, issued in 1969. Rarely found FACTORY SEALED, the SHRINK WRAP here is split for MOST of the top edge (about 8.5 inches) and about 4.5 inches at right opening edge. PLEASE SEE PHOTO as it shows the "flap" of shrink wrap at upper right corner. There is a moderate to large piece of shrink wrap MISSING from the BACK upper left corner side that corresponds to the shrink wrap edge splits noted above. AGAIN, please check photos! BUT this is STILL CLEARLY SEALED! There are 2 original price stickers on the shrink...one at the back upper right corner, and another wrapped around spine edge. Some of the shrink wrap is worn at lower right corner, which has resulted in some slight corner wear to that corner. The GATEFOLD COVER has some staining at lower front center under shrink wrap (4 light lines...could be from manufacturing process...), and there is some mild darkening to cover edges where exposed (NOT covered by shrink wrap). We don't remember how "psych" this is, but many sellers seem to be selling it as garage psych with fuzz guitar , so please know what you are bidding on! We remember this as Richie Bartlett's pre-FOOLS debut!  A pretty RARE independently released ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING LP on the obscure Oracle label...and FACTORY SEALED! This was LATER issued on Capitol, and that's even pretty scrace! Offered with NO RESERVE!
