Description
**$90 price drop 12/13** Only a few dollars above the lowest EKL mono ever sold!
Thanks for looking! I am trying to list an average of 4-5 records per day, so please check back often.
Ultra-rare MONO EKL brown label with catalog number on the right side with hyphen. Grab a piece of blues psych rock history!
Sleeve: GOOD. Bottom has been taped as shown. Edges are worn. Spine on gatefold has considerable wear and a ~4" split in the middle of the sleeve as pictured. Harsh damage to bottom right corner. No writing or stickers. Check the pictures!
Vinyl: VG-? Multitudes of scuffs and scrapes. Vinyl is hazy under bright lights. I tried to capture this in the last image. No notable feelers, but I'll hear a few ticks randomly. Considerable background from the play surface! PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO SKIPS OR LOOPS. I recall the inner track on one side seems like it was played on a worn needle. Sound is a bit more distorted than the other tracks, but maybe it's just the mono mix. Labels are quite clean with nowhere near the spindle marks I thought there would be considering the overall condition. Original sleeve is lost to time. I replaced the generic paper one I got the with the album. It's now in a VRP poly sleeve.
Grade is subjective, but I try to get as close to I can as the standard grading scale. Please look over pics. I can post high-res full photos on imgur if you'd like.
All discs are washed in my Spin-Clean MKII. The genuine drying cloths sometimes leave a trace of lint on the play surface that your needle might collect on its first play-through.
Shipped in proper mailer and well protected. Double-boxed and free shipping on this album. Purchase up to 3 more at no additional shipping charge.
