WHALEFEATHERS – “Declare” (1969) Nasco-9003 super rare original pressing of killer psych LP – VG+/Strong VG+ (cover/record)

Here’s a very sought-after dark psych album from the southern United States on the rare Nasco label. This is the first of only two albums they recorded. These never turn up.

This is an original pressing. The cover has some light ring wear and some seam wear, but the seams are intact and strong. The vinyl is clean with only some very light surface scuffs - it plays great. It’s been treated with LAST Record Protectant that provides 200 plays with no wear and improves sound. I grade this conservatively VG+/Strong VG+ (cover/record). You should be very happy with this one.

Winner pays postage. Domestic U.S. shipping is $3.50 media rate or $8 for priority mail (insurance additional and quoted at cost). International first class shipping (7-10 day delivery) varies by postal zone. Please see the listing for specific costs.

I package all LPs securely in record mailers and remove the vinyl from the covers to prevent seam splits during mailing. I do not just stick your record in a priority mailer box from the post office or between two thin pieces of cardboard with no additional packaging materials like so many others!!!

Domestic Bidders – Personal checks are cool for payment but must clear (10 business days). Money orders get next day shipping. Overseas Bidders – we’ll work this out – I’m really flexible. I accept IMOs, bank checks drawn in U.S. dollars and sent to me from the bank’s U.S. branch (must have magnetic ink U.S. routing numbers printed along bottom), and other methods of payment we can discuss after the auction closes. I am not able to accept Paypal or any other credit card payment. Please don’t bid and then say you can only pay by paypal – Paypal is not an option for me, and I will leave you negative feedback if you do not complete the transaction by one of the methods noted above.

Why don’t I accept Paypal? I once was a credit card merchant, operating BreakDownRecords dot com, and processing customers credit cards online using the security software provided to me through the credit card company. When someone paid by credit card, they were actually on the CREDIT CARD COMPANY'S OWN merchant processing site. Someone hacked into the credit card company's site, used my particular merchant account to process thousands of stolen credit card numbers to verify the numbers in conjunction with various expiration dates, and I was held liable for the $3,000 in transaction fees as a result of the hacker. That's when I learned that as a credit card merchant, you have absolutely no redress with the credit card companies, even if it's from their end that the theft occurs. That's how they're able to offer you, the credit card user, unlimited protection. So, as a result, I'll buy things with a credit card, but no way in hell will I ever accept them again as a seller. The reward is not worth the risk.

Thanks for looking, and good luck!

All the best from New Orleans,
