ALEXANDER SKIP SPENCE Oar ORIGINAL 360 Vinyl LP NM Moby

$

160

Thanks for looking at my auction, which is for the very hard to find original pressing of Skip Spence's masterpiece "Oar" on vinyl. This is the original Columbia pressing, with the "360 Sound" label. This was practically unplayed when I got it, and I only played it a couple of times. Why settle for the reissue when you can have the real thing, and a super clean copy as well? You can get the tracklisting and read a review of the album here, courtesy of All Music Guide (www.allmusic.com):

(Please note that the original album stops at "Grey/Afro" when viewing the songs titles in the review).

The jacket is overall excellent condition for it's age. There is light wear along the spines, but hardly any on the front and back. There is about a 3 inch seam split in the bottom left corner, and about a 1/4 inch one in the bottom right corner. There is a small clip in the top left corner, signifying this was a close-out item. I would rate it VG+ only because of the seam splits, but it really is in great shape. Also included is the original Columbia inner sleeve.

The disc probably hasn't been played more than 4-5 times and plays beautifully with minimal noise. There are a couple of very light sleeve marks which do not affect play, and I would rate it Near Mint minus, only because of the sleeve marks. You can't go wrong if you are buying this album to play. It is hard to find an original in this condition.

There is a 99 cent opening bid and no reserve on this item.

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions, through E-bay or at Kindtaper@aol.com.

OTHER SHIPPING AND PAYMENT INFO

All LPs are shipped well packed in specially made boxes manufactured exclusively for shipping LPs. Records are carefully packaged between pre-cut cardboard filler pads to prevent them from getting bent or damaged during transit. All LPs, new or used, are sent in brand new polypropylene protective sleeves to protect and enhance the beauty of your investment. I also clean and vacuum any LP that is not sealed on a VPI professional record vacuum, so the LP will have the best possible sound when it arrives to you. I ship all LPs in the above manner, no matter the final bid outcome. If the LP you win is not sealed, I will ship the record or records in their inner sleeves on the outside of and next to the jacket to avoid seam splitting.
