More PSYCH and Classic 1960's Rock LPs from a fanatically well-kept collection of a long-time former DJ

Many of these still in SHRINK WRAP ...several STILL SEALED
Quite a few WLP, Sterling, RL and Masterdisk pressings in the mix!

*Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and am lucky to get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming (as I pause between each auction series to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) throughout this fall, several hundred to list, so keep checking back.
.
USA Shipping: FREE ...no matter how many LPs
International Shipping Worldwide at EXACT POSTAGE Only cost

Please NOTE:
Some of my PHOTOS suffer from LOW LIGHT lighting conditions (due to very cloudy / rainy days recently).
This causes unavoidable grain and spottiness in image, particularly on dark covers / labels and especially the vinyl.
I apologize for that and assure all bidders that such grain/spots are Digital Artifacts only - are not actually present
on these LP Covers / labels / vinyl themselves at all  - and DO NOT properly represent the true condition.
My camera simply is not able to resolve fine detail in low light ...especially on the vinyl grooves.

In any such case, please always refer to the written grade and description for accurate condition details.
*some of the vinyl is appearing like unearthed ancient archeological artifacts or mars-scapes (!)
If this could have been at all avoided it would have been. ...hopefully new camera soon!

Please see my FEEDBACK and bid with complete confidence.

BIZARRE Records RS 6356
Original 1969 issue • Stereo LP
WHITE LABEL PROMO • 1B / 1 B Matrix

VINYL is EX/EX+
Excellent gloss to very clean vinyl; Side 1 is EX+ or better with only a very few faint sleeve hairlines. Side 2 the same but also with a small scuff at last track that is inaudible. LP plays EX+ to NM throughout both sides. White PROMO labels are snapping bright and spanking clean.
.
COVER is VG+
Bright, vibrant gatefold is overall extremely clean with Promo sticker front cover and lower right corner crease. Back cover has very faint partial ring wear and 2 spots at top edge from former radio library tracking and call letters stickers. Small, barely noticeable spot from similar code sticker removal on front, just below promo sticker. Inside gatefold is very clean with light dust wear at top / bottom edges, right side. 2 bumped, but still sharp, corners - left side. No drill hole, writing or soil. Seams and spine completely intact with faint bit of wear to bottom seam only. No splits.

STRICT CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE GRADING
NM / EX(VG++) / VG+ / VG

Together again for the first time - FZ and the Captain go deep.
