HOMEWOOD Records H-101
Original 1976 issue Stereo LP

VINYL is NM/EX+
Full Gloss Vinyl is pristine NM on Side One. Faint pressure (storage) spot barely visible at edge of Side two; completely inaudible - so grading that side EX+. LP plays Like New throughout. Labels are super clean.
.
COVER is VG+
Overall extremely clean; snapping bright, vivid and crisp cover has light, small H2O stain at bottom edge and larger one (still small) on back, also at bottom edge. Faint sticker mark in u.r. corner - no residue, stickiness, peel or paper remains - just slightly darker white where sticker once was. No other marks. No creases, ring or shelf wear, no writing or soil. Seams and spine intact all around with perfectly legible spine text. Small wear on top seam only. No splits.


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



Original issue MOOG / Electronic Holy Grail LP from the iconoclastic MORT GARSON

The album had a very limited distribution upon release, only being available to people who bought a houseplant from a store called Mother Earth in Los Angeles or those who purchased a Simmons mattress from a Sears outlet, both of which, for a short time, came with the record.

.
"Warm earth music for plants...

and the people who love them".

Original "Mother Earth's Indoor Plant Care" Booklet included in super clean condition inside and out.

This has descriptive notes on all the music tracks plus a plant care section.

___________________________________________________

From an utterly vast and deep record collection, from my life-long best friend..
who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s.
Sadly he has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine.
.
Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets,
plus posters and other memorabilia will all eventually be listed.

Getting very close to an AUCTION series of over 100 choice vintage Prog Rock, Prog/Psych, Krautrock, Electronic and related LPs
As soon as I have that all ready to list, those will be up..

Truly a great (and enormous) collection!

* I reserve the right to cancel any bids by any international bidders with poor or very low feedback.

.

I do NOT ever want to exclude or deny all bidders from any particular country, even though a few specific countries are responsible for almost all spurious "not received" or "not as described" claims over the years. This evolves... for instance in France, buyers from Ile de France seem, more and more, to be very prone to make a false claim. (one of my earliest, very best customers was from Ile de France but moved to Belgium some years back) ...so even there, I hate to exclude ALL buyers from there; however I cannot possibly afford to be scammed due to the unlucky result of a winning bidder being a bad actor. IF you are from that area and want to bid/buy, simply contact me first and give me good reason to trust you.

Also it seems to be the fun game recently for some in Germany, Spain and Italy to buy far more than the collector can afford and make false claims on many of them. Again I will need to know you can be trusted. Many, many great buyers in all those countries, but plenty of trouble comes from them as well. Brazil ha terrible post/mail problems. Italy has long Customs hold times. In NONE of those cases is it my fault and I will not lose out because of other countries' problems beyond my control. Occasional problems from China and Russia -I reserve the right to cancel a sale or bids from any buyer, case-by-case if I note problematic behavior or red flags.

Having said that, I will have no need whatsoever to take action for any buyers with solid, good reputations and feedback. I sell regularly to all those places (though Ile de France bidders will definitely need to contact me FIRST before bidding). I wish there was no need for this caution, but I must and I do protect myself. If you are honest, responsible and genuine, we will never have a problem and may bid buy with no worries.
