s/t LP - WINTERSPRING (Damon D-12903)

Original 1970 U.S. stereo LP. Private Hammond organ-led lounge album (w/ some soft pop & lite psych moves thrown in) from Missouri that has gotten a bit of attention in the past couple of years. Featuring cool female vocal on most of the tracks, sometimes sultry, othertimes ethereal. As noted elsewhere, it is indeed true that only 100 copies were pressed. Plus, the understated, cool cover was handmade, silk screen, meaning every cover is unique. This one features a blank back (most of the covers have 2-sided artwork, BUT NOT ALL OF THEM - I've seen at least 2 besides this one that are only 1-sided). This particular copy came from the female singer & is autographed by her on the label. Unfortunately, it has an aural issue right at the beginning, but everything that follows is pretty much peachy keen, soundwise.

Disc = VG- (would actually grade about VG+, but downgraded due to a concentric scratch at the beginning of track 1 on side 1; it causes a loud pop for about 10 revolutions & it skipped once on my turntable; it's possible that this is something that might be able to be worked out, if someone was to make the effort; otherwise, remainder of disc has lite hairlines & some very soft, faint scuffing, NOT AFFECTING PLAY - sounds quite alright, w/ only lite background noise + scattered background clicks/pops, nothing seriously obtrusive; beyond that one major flaw, this is a satisfying listen)

Cover = see pix; tiny wear + tiny, lite diagonal cracks in corners; small, lite chipping + a tiny tear along front right edge; very faint/soft diagonal crack near front lower right corner; names written in front upper left corner; some lite blue spots on blank back; chip in top left seam corner; cracking in middle of top seam (NOT a split, but close); chip in top spine corner; cracking in spine; any questions?, please ask

Labels = see pix; lite wear + faint spindle marks by center hole; tiny chip by center hole on side 2 only; writing (autograph - Peggy, who was the vocalist on this record) on side 2 (Love, Peggy)
