Description
1st pressing of this record, It most likely came from Basho himself because of the additional contents, this is a really interesting item, there's a signed letter Basho wrote and signed along with a press kit with a lot of copies of articles, some of which I'm sure you would have a very difficult if not impossible time finding, like the one that says "Basho Plays to Appreciative Crowd in Coffee House" and others that are very interesting. Also included is a darkroom print / headshot in glossy black and white. There is also a typed letter giving his rates, which has some corrections in the prices that were penned in afterwards! I am no expert, but from the feel of this letter I think he was probably struggling with money a bit. I added 2 images at the end that have all the articles photoshopped together because the listing only allowed 12 images, sorry I am not a very good photoshopper.
An especially rare item because Basho died at 45 from a freak accident getting adjusted at the chiropractor.
Vinyl is G+ because it has warp although some parts play VG or VG+, is it still very shiny black. The warp is more on the outside, B side actually plays without jumps or skips but probably some parts dont sound like they should, but the A side only plays the 2nd half without jumps from the warp. maybe you can fix it, it is a series of arches, not a sharp bend, from the "tan" marks on the inner sleeve paper it looks like they left it out in the sun! it might have gotten wet and they left it out to dry and they forgot it.
Sleeve is VG+ and the letter and other stuff is also VG+ , you can see in the photos for details.
$4 media mail shipping. $12 priority mail within the USA. I can combine shipping on multiple items, just add 1 for each additional record
