Description
This is a rare very clean original mono pressing of the first LP recorded for Epic Records by Donovan, Sunshine Superman, released in 1966. The title cut was a huge hit and featured Jimmy Page on lead guitar, and also featured on the LP is another famous song written by the artist, Season Of The Witch. No original masters were created for this recording in true stereo, all masters having been only recorded in mono. All so called stereo pressings of this LP are fake rechanneled stereo. This LP is very difficult to find clean in mono.
The LP visually is in near mint condition and plays very nicely. The cover is in very good plus condition. All corners are very sharp with just a trace of tip wear in few spots. The spine is very strong with light rub wear. The top seam is strong with very light rub wear. The bottom seam has a less than an inch split at the mouth. The rest of bottom seam is intact but with some light rub wear. The front and back covers are clean with some light ring wear on each side. There is also a very small cut out hole at the top of cover near spine. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine.
The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Return of sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.
Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.
Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is very important to me as seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.
I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
