Hello Friends, This is Holy Grail week where I will be listing a few of my holy grail LPs all in NM condition or sealed. I will not use a Buy It Now price, but all listings will have Reserve prices. I would suggest that if you buy one of these ultra rare LPs that you consider Priority shipping, insurance. Thank you
This is the US promo version of the Zombies, Odessey & Oracle, in my opinion the best of the few Zombies' albums. It is the earliest pressing with the little "A" on the back cover as seen in the photos. Everyone knows the hit "Time Of The Season", but this LP is loaded with great songs very typical of the Zombies. The album was first released in 1968 which was a fantastic year for music. To find one of these very rare promo issues in this condition is a job indeed. They show up now and then but you would be very hard pressed to find one in this condition.
LP: There is not a mark on either side of the LP's sufaces. It plays with Zero noise. In fact by the looks of it, I think it was only played a handful of times.
Labels: The labels are a very beautiful green Date labels showing no wear except 2 very light spindle marks on either side of the label. This was barely played.
Cover: There is just a tiny bit of wear at the back bottom of the cover, the rest is clean. There are no seam splits and the spine is perfect. Even the top and bottom of the sleeve show no wear. There are no holes, cuts, writing, stickers, names or any kind of markings what so ever. It is a beautiful copy but I am rating it as EX rather than NM because of the small bit of wear at the bottom back.
You really couldn't ask for a cleaner copy of this promo and it may be some time before another comes along. Please ask any questions and good luck. Again, this is a reserve listing. Thank you.
Please ask any questions. This is a reserve auction price based upon previous past sales mainly on Ebay.
My grading system is M(only used on sealed LPs), NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG- and Good. LPs rated good will only be sold if they are very rare. I have been collecting and grading LPs for nearly 5 decades. I was a seller of guitars for many years on Ebay and now decided to put some of my LP collection up for sale. I have many Psych, Hard Rock, Blues, Jazz, Prog and more from the 1960s and 1970s. Many are still sealed. I will offer auction style and Buy It Now listings.
Shipping - I will ship media mail to anywhere in the US for $4.00 I will also offer Priority shipping for $12.00. Prices include insurance in the US. I ship in LP mailers with the LPs outside of the sleeve to avoid seam splits. Sealed LPs will not be opened. I will also ship to Europe and Japan via USPS international First Class mail for $24 for the first LP. I will combine shipping. I will ship within 3 business days of receiving cleared payment.
Payment - I accept Paypal payments only and items must be paid within 3 days of listing's close. Please pay on time.
I have been adding more LPs for sale so please check my other items as well. Thank you all and come back often. Please ask any questions you may have.
