ALBUM NOTES: - Original 1968 Mono pressing on Elektra (not a re-issue).  - Gate-fold Cover.  - Tan Labels.  - Original Elektra printed inner sleeve.
CONDITION DETAILS: VINYL: Record still looks fairly glossy, but does have a good amount of light surface scuffs/scratches that aren't seen very well in the photos. It plays all the way through with no skips or major distractions, but there is some light audible background noise (more noticeable between songs and on quieter spots).  LABELS: Labels look nice overall.  Side-B label shows very light ring wear,  mostly just along a few of the inner grooves beneath the label. COVER: There is some damage to the lower right corner of the front cover where some of the glossy outer layer has been peeled off. Please see this in photos. Aside from that, the gatefold cover is in pretty good shape overall and still retains most of it's gloss. There is light seam wear (dings/rubbing/very light creases), but there are no areas that have worn through or split. Overall, the  rest of the cover has light general wear... minor dings/dents/blemishes/rub spots. Faint discoloring where price stickers were once attached on front cover. Light ring wear on back cover, and on gatefold's upper center section. Zoom in on pictures to see most of the issues listed above. INNER SLEEVE: Original printed inner sleeve with Elektra logo is in very nice shape. There's a very light crease on bottom left corner (from where the edge of the record pressed against it). Also, there is a tiny tear on the top, back side of the sleeve. It's only about 1/4" long, and not very noticeable. Record has been stored in a different inner sleeve. INSERTS: None.

ABOUT MY AUCTIONS:   - I try to provide as much information as I can about every item I list. I also make every attempt to point out any known flaws by writing detailed item descriptions (and by including many high quality photos). All items are guaranteed to arrive in the condition described in the listing (or in some cases better). Please read the Shipping and Return Policies carefully and feel free to contact me with any questions, preferably prior to bidding. Thanks for looking and good luck!

*****************************************************
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTES: - All records are shipped in either a 7" or 12" cardboard LP/EP mailer and packed with a cardboard pad to help ensure safe arrival. - I generally pack records, along with their sleeves, outside of their jacket to help prevent ring wear. Of course, there are some circumstances when this may not be possible, but they will always be packed in the most protective manner, and with lots of love.
COMBINED DOMESTIC SHIPPING:  - In order to continue offering a choice of shipping options, the cost for combining additional items depends on your choice of shipping method. Options are Media Mail or Priority Mail... and the cost for additional items is listed below.
- For each additional 10" or 12" record purchased within 3 days of winning the first item, shipping will cost an additional $1.00 for media mail or $2.00 for Priority Mail. - For each additional 7" record purchased, add $0.50 for media mail or $0.75 for Priority Mail. - The base shipping cost (when combining multiple items) is equal to the cost of the item with highest listed shipping rate.  EXAMPLE: Two auction wins are being combined. One item has a $3.00 shipping cost, the other item has an $8.00 shipping cost. The base cost for combined shipping is going to be $8.00, and the discount would be applied to the item with the $3.00 shipping cost.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: - I currently do not ship outside of the lower 48. I hope to be able to offer worldwide shipping very soon. It's been a while since I have sold anything on Ebay, and I am in the process of researching the best way to provide safe, reliable, and affordable shipping to areas outside of the US.
