BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY with JANIS JOPLIN

"CHEAP THRILLS RARE 1968 US MONO COLUMBIA KCL-2900

EXTREMELY SCARCE 1968 US STOCK COPY 'MONO' BIG BROTHER DEBUT!

THIS COPY NEARLY ESCAPED OUR ATTENTION IN THE REMNANTS OF AN OLD RADIO STATION LIBRARY, BUT WE RESCUED IT, PLAYED IT, AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRIME FOR THIS TO HAVE GONE INTO THE DUMPSTER. IT'S CERTAINLY NOT MINT, AND THE COVER HAS TYPICAL RADIO STATION & POOR STORAGE WEAR & TEAR, BUT THE RECORD PLAYS AND IT IS SUCH A MAJOR RARITY WE ARE OFFERING IT HERE DESPITE IT'S  CONDITION ISSUES.

TRACKS:

• COMBINATION OF THE TWO
• I NEED A MAN TO LOVE
• SUMMERTIME
• PIECE OF MY HEART
• BALL AND CHAIN
• OH SWEET MARY
• TURTLE BLUES

CONDITION DETAILS:

• COVER HAS SHELF WEAR TO SEAMS, OVERALL SHELF WEAR, WEAR RING & SOIL
• TOP SEAM HAS OBVIOUS SHELF WEAR, CORNER WEAR, & 4" TOP RIGHT SEAM SPLIT, WAS PROBABLY SHELVED UPSIDE DOWN  
• SPINE WEAR, LIGHT INNER GATEFOLD WEAR
• ATLANTIC LABEL DISCOGRAPHY INNER SLEEVE
• LABELS ARE NICE & CLEAN
• PLAYING SURFACES HAVE GENERAL PLAY WEAR, SUPERFICIAL MARKS & SCUFFS, HAIRLINES, LIGHT SCRATCHES & OBVIOUS  MARKS
• WE DISCOVERED 2 ISSUES THAT CAUSED ME TO RE-EVALUATE THIS LP.  PLAYING IT AT 1.5 GRAMS OVERALL IT PLAYED OK THROUGH MOST OF IT WITH GENERAL BACKGROUND NOISE & SURFACE NOISE WITH POPS & TICKS, MOST NOTICEABLE AT THE QUIET BITS AT THE BEGINNING OF BOTH SIDES. MUCH OF THIS IS BECAUSE IT NEEDS A GOOD VPI CLEANING TO GET DECADES OF DUST OUT OF THE GROOVES. I TOOK LITTLE FLECKS OF DIRT OFF THE SURFACE TO GET RID OF POPS OR SKIPS IN PLACES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE 2 STUBBORN PROBLEMS I CAN'T GET RID OF -  "TURTLE BLUES' HAS A FEW SPOTS THAT SOMETIMES SKIP AND SOMETIMES DON'T. I DON'T SEE ANY OBVIOUS REASONS FOR THESE. THERE IS AN ANGULAR LITTLE FLURRY OF MARKS THAT CAUSE "BALL & CHAIN" TO STICK JUST AS JANIS STARTS SHOUTING "HEY" BEFORE THE FIRST BIG BUILD-UP.  THESE DEFECTS ARE BEYOND MY PATIENCE TO FIX. IF YOU HAVE PATIENCE & A METHOD, PERHAPS YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT MORE SUCCESSFULLY THAN I DID.
• IN MONO THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE IS QUITE DIFFERENT WITH THE MIX MUCH MORE BALLSY OVERALL. PLUS, THIS IS ACTUALLY A PROPER MONO STUDIO MIX AS OPPOSED TO A RE-E-Q'D FOLD DOWN A+B=C, WHICH MANY MONO LP'S FROM 1968-73 ACTUALLY ARE.

 OVERALL VG- COVER & G MONO LP

THIS IS NOT MINT AND IS SOLD STRICTLY AS-IS

EXPECT A WINNER'S NOTICE DIRECTLY FROM US VIA EMAIL WITH ALL CORRECT SHIPPING OPTIONS & COST FOR THIS ITEM. 

ATTENTION! NO PAY PAL! SEE OUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH AND/OR SELLER'S PAYMENT INTRUCTIONS FOR ACCEPTABLE PAYMENT METHODS. IMMEDIATE PAYMENT REQUIRED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH & GOOD LUCK!
