Description
Original Flat Earth Society - WALEECO LP from 1967.
Rare and classic psych. Great musicians, tight band and excellent self-penned tunes. Both sides are good with no throwaway tracks.
This record was sponsored by WALEECO Candy Bar Co. Kids would send in ten wrappers and a dollar (or something like that) for a Flat Earth record. It's not surprising that few of these survived -- especially in playable shape.
The band photos do not look promising (just a bunch of Sgt. Pepper wannabe kids), but they sure pulled it off. This is an excellent record with a psychy vibe that feels unique and not at all like a Beatles' derivative.
Cover: Front = NM; Rear = EXC (Lightest of wear at top as shown in photo. This is the best-condition cover I've ever owned. I challenge you to find a better one.) Labels: NM Vinyl*: NM Sound**: NM
* Most records have production marks where someone touched or moved the vinyl while it was still semi-soft. These marks look like smudges, but are not scratches or "paper scuffs" and do not sound. Untouched vinyl from newly-opened records have these marks. I only downgrade if the marks are excessive and/or unsightly or if they are audible in any way.
** I sound-sample both sides of every LP. I don't play the entire record, but sample at least three places each side, checking intros, quiet spots and a few divisions between tracks.
Combined shipping is no problem. I ship anywhere in the world.
