Description

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


If you're reading this then you probably already know the story behind this legendary privately pressed acid psych-folk monster from 1978 on Reality Records.  Rick is first and foremost an Elvis impersonator here in Chicago but in 1978 he recorded this LP (inspired by an acid trip, believably) in downstate Harvey and quietly released it on his own Reality imprint.  It has since grown to mythological status among acid psych collectors and is now considered one of the genre's holy grails due to its scarcity.  LP is a FLAWLESS near mint minus.  Cover is VG++ with a hint of wear in the bottom right hand corner.  A high grade copy in collector condition.  Near impossible to find and even harder to find this holy grail in this condition so don't sleep acid psych collectors.  You will not be disappointed.


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
