Description
Epic LG-1002. Vintage 10" record album - from 1954. From Moondog, aka Louis Hardin. His first recording, I think? He's pictured on the front playing one of his homemade instruments, the Dragons' Teeth. This is a pretty rare one!
Labels (deep groove) are VG++. Record itself is hard to grade; it's pretty scratched up, yet plays without skipping. I'm not good at grading 'off condition' records, the terms really seem to vary from collectore to collector. In layman's terms, it's not 'good' but maybe 'acceptable'. In record collectors terms, it would vary from G to maybe VG (VG would be optimistic for many people though, unless you use VG for anything thats fairly rough yet still plays.
You might consider this more of a collectable and a curio THAT DOES PLAY than something for listening enjoyment; this music is probably available on CD anyway. Here's some info: http://moondogscorner.de/disco/rec3.htm
Cover is about VG+, more or less, depending on how you feel about the browning around the edge and the lighter browning/fading on the back cover. Front cover image is great! Would look fantastic framed. Topp and bottom seams have no splits (the bane of 10" LPs!); spine has split(s) or maybe just pre-split(s) i.e. worn paper.
SHIPPING: Since it's lighter than a regular LP this will probably ship cheaper. Media Mail may be a bit less, but Priority and all Foreign rates should be significantly less. I won't know until I pack & ship it, so I'll invoice you at the regular LP rate and refund afterward if there's a significant overcharge.
All records are original USA pressings - not recent reissues - unless noted. Check out our Grading / Condition info. NM (Near Mint) is usually my highest grade. Labels are NM unless noted; and item has no writing, stamps, stickers, drillholes, or other noteworthy defects unless specifically noted or shown in photos otherwise.
USA SHIPPING: A single LP via Media Mail is $3.50. Additional LPs $0.25 each. Please use the links in my eBay Store to see similar records I have listed. Priority rate varies by region. See updated rates and all Foreign rates here. I'm adding new records regularly, so please add us to your Favorite Sellers list.
