WILSON PICKETT-THE EXCITING-ORIG 1966 EX MONO ATLANTIC SOUL LP ALBUM

$

27

This is a very clean rare original mono pressing of the third and probably best album by Wilson Pickett. The Exciting, released by Atlantic Records in 1966. The LP includes several of the artist's biggest hits, including In The Midnight Hour, Land of 1000 Dances, 634-5789 and Ninety-Nine And A Half Just Won't Do, several co written by Pickett with the brilliant guitarist Steve Cropper. Most importantly, there were never stereo masters recorded of this album only mono. So all so called stereo pressings are actually inferior electronic rechanneled fake stereo which makes clean mono pressings of this classic, if you can find them, all the more rare. 

The LP visually is in excellent condition with just few light inaudible lines. The LP plays very nicely. The cover is in very good plus condition. Three of the four corners are quite sharp with some light wear showing on bottom mouth corner. The seams are strong with no splits with minor rub wear on top seam and little more wear near lower spine and mouth corners. The spine is strong with no splits. The front and back cover are very clean with minimal wear. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine 

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened. 

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a  person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available
