Tim Dawe – Penrod – Debut Psych Rock-Psych Folk Vinyl LP

$

31

Tim Dawe was just beginning to gain well-earned notoriety with his hit single, Junkie John, in 1968.  However, radio stations stopped playing it when they were encouraged to do so by the FCC.  Apparently there were issues with drug-related messages coming over the airwaves.  Dawe, whose real name is Jerry Penrod, responded with this, his first album, and included the controversial single.  Dawe had previously played with Iron Butterfly.  This is a brilliant collection of folk based psychedelia.  Frank Zappa was the executive producer on this collection, and his influence is heard throughout.  The album was released on Zappa’s Straight label in 1969, number STS1058.  This is the original release of the album.  The vinyl is in exceptional condition with its bright original luster and just a few very light surface scratches, none of which significantly impact play.  It plays beautifully with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG.  The gatefold album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear.  The top seam is completely split.  There is a three inch split in the middle of the bottom seam.  The other seams show wear but are sharp, tight, and intact.  There is a name and a note written on the front of the cover.  The original Straight label inner sleeve is included, though it has several seam splits.  A generic sleeve will be included. The cover grades G.

Grading Information

I 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 also 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 $5 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 $23 and each subsequent is just an additional $6.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage 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.
