Description

About This Record.  This is yet another cool LP from my collection, one of the rarest and most sought after psychedelic rock gems of the late 1960's, The C.A. Quintet's LP entitled Trip Thru Hell on Candy Floss Records, a private label from Minnesota.  The CA Quintet put out this LP, a reunion LP in 1980 or thereabouts, and a few 45rpms.  The song "Cold Spider" appears on this LP, as well as Endless Journey Volume One, and must be heard to be believed.

I think Patrick Lundborg of the Acid Archives sums up this LP by explaining "Ah,yes, the Trip, an LP so packed with talent and originality it alone justifies the existence of the underground record collector circuit, who pulled this old Twi Cities head fave out of obscurity and turned it into a world-famous psychedelic Grail several decades ago."

Please see the detailed description below and all of my pictures…and watch for more cool LPs I will be advertising in a couple of days.

NOTE: This item will be mailed Monday Morning July 25; I would be grateful if you could wait until July 23 or July 24 before Paying--THANKS!)

PLEASE

CHECK my Feedback which shows you my grading, Cover/Vinyl, of other LPs I have recently sold and what the lucky people who bought them think of their purchase and our experience.

The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels. 

I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA and foreign buyers in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase.  Comes hand-cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning machine and placed in a new dust-free sleeve for your grandchildren.  And at least one plastic sleeves for moisture protection (for you and me).

Cover Condition:. Excellent Minus (EX-) cover.  Very nice heavy Textured cover with No Ring Wear on front or back cover and NO spine splits, No seam splits.  Minor corner rubs and a few chips on the seams.  Back cover has some very light age marks on the left side near the spine (at least I think they are age marks and not part of the cover design).  Awesome thick heavy textured cover that would be very difficult to upgrade; most copies now come with split seams and ring wear because of the heavy nature of the cover.  But I have stored this properly for decades, so that is not the case with this copy. Please see all the Photos I took. I didn't take them for fun and frolic.

Vinyl Condition: Very Good (VG) vinyl with light marks and scuffs, including a couple of long but light and meaningless scuffs.  No skips, no sticks, no jumps, no scratches that can be felt, although a few obvious visual light scuffs and some noticeable but light paper marks.  But like all copies, this plays with some noticeable background noise (some crackling, and a few random pops here and there, but the pops are not from scratches), more so on Side 1 than Side 2.  But the quality of the music is incredible, and the effects stunning (particularly the ceiling to floor phasing, instead of just left to right phasing!  The clarity of the music is stunning, but there is that darn background noise which even super clean copies of this LP have because of the private pressing.

Labels. Excellent (EX)  labels.  Light spindle marks around the hole.  Please see photos of all labels.

Inserts: Comes with original plain white (now brown) paper inner sleeve, but no worries, this comes cleaned on my KL Audio Ultrasonic record cleaning machine and in a new rice paper equivalent sleeve so the old Dust does not reattach!  Oh My Gosh!

Packaging.  I clean all vinyl on my KL Audio Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new rice paper style innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original.  I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve after cleaning from the cover, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic innersleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool records transition to your record collection.  I use sturdy carboard containers with real corners and pack with at least two insert stiffeners, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and/or “Fragile” or something like that to help facilitate a safe passage.

Shipping and Payment.  PayPal only.  I ship promptly worldwide; sometimes the automatic eBay invoice does not have accurate shipping if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. . . .  I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways, unless you live outside North America in which case I will refund you shipping one way unless I made a mistake which I sometimes do because I am only human..  CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  Please add sales tax!

Shipment and Mailing:


Sorry for my Silly mistake about mailing this on July 25.  This will be mailed first thing Monday Morning August 1, not first thing Monday Morning July 25, because on July 25 I will still not know who the lucky winner of this LP might be.  Because it will still be on auction.
To confirm a couple email questions for those lucky folks who live nearby in the SF area, yes, local pick up is an option, but not until Monday August 1 or maybe Sunday.
Thanks for looking.
