Case – “Taking Time”
Hit Records International HRI 5060 – Original US Pressing
One of the scarcest private-press psych records of the era — only 12 copies known on Discogs and 191 collectors have it on their wantlist! This obscure Fort Lauderdale, Florida gem features tight harmonies, garage-psych edge, and classic early-70s lo-fi underground vibes. Featured in collector guides and highly rated by the few who own it (average 4.29/5).

CONDITION (Goldmine Grading – ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE EXACT ITEM):
• Jacket: VG / VG+ — Iconic sundial/clock artwork on front. Light edge and corner wear, some surface scuffs and natural age-toning on the back (typical of 55-year-old private press). All text and band photos fully legible. No splits, writing, or major damage.
• Vinyl: VG+ — Clean black vinyl with bright yellow Hit Records labels. Grooves look excellent — no deep scratches, scuffs, or visible warps. Labels are crisp and intact. Plays strong based on visual inspection (I will clean and play-test before shipping).
• Inner Sleeve: Original plain paper with minor aging.
This is a complete, authentic, ready-to-play original — a true underground holy grail from Florida’s 1970 psych scene that almost never appears for sale.
