Sagittarius – Present Tense – NM Psych Rock-Psych Pop Debut Vinyl LP

$

125

This studio only group was created by songwriter and produce Gary Usher, who was also renowned for similar work with the group The Millennium.  These are two of the classic psych rock/pop bands of the late 60’s.  Sagittarius recorded two albums, and this is their brilliant debut.  It is a thrilling experience that produced one huge hit, the stunning “My World Fell Down”.   Every track is beautifully arranged and crafted.  It’s a scintillating, albeit hard to find, piece of pscyh rock history.  The album was released on Columbia in 1968, number CS 9644.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in pristine condition with its bright original luster and no scratches or scuffs.  It plays with virtually no background noise.  The vinyl grades NM.  The album cover shows a tiny hint of ring wear on the back and very light corner and edge wear.  All seams are sharp, tight, and intact.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

The album will be shipped in a specially designed album hard cardboard mailer with two cardboard inserts and bubble wrap to prevent damage during shipment and upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by PayPal is preferred.
