Description

The Lowdown:
Super rare LP from Dryewater on the J.T.B. label circa 1974. Only 500 LPs were pressed (The cover was actually pressed in far fewer quantities, for some reason). Of the 500 pressed, many were destroyed by the band when they failed to sell. So, not many of these are around.

 

Rarity aside, this is a killer 70's rock album. Check the audio clips - I included 5 of them.

 

Condition:
Vinyl – VG+. Two scratches on side 1 - One that lets out a click for about a minute during the second track. The other scratch occurs towards the end of the 4th track, and it clicks for about 30 seconds. There are a couple other small clicks on side one, but side 2 is clean. Listen to the audio clips - they haven't been cleaned up in any way - what you hear, is what you'll get.

Cover - Good. The top and bottom seam are completely split. The spine has seen better days, but it's pretty much in tact. There's ringwear that's more prevalent on the front. The opening and corners are worn. I guess this ain't too bad, when you consider that most copies don't have a cover at all,

My story...After years of nerding-out about everything related to vinyl and DJ'ing, I decided to leave corporate America and sell wax for a living. I am aware that this was not an intelligent decision, but what are you gonna do?  So, I opened up an Ebay store - The Swap Heat - Please visit it often 'cause I'm hungry and tired of eating Top Ramen. My store operates on a barter system. Everything in it is 'Buy It Now or Best Offer'.

More nonsense...I post hot records daily, and pride myself on customer service. For each posting, I provide very detailed information describing the condition, producers, backing bands, where/when it was recorded - everything that I can find out about it. It usually takes me much more time to post records in this fashion, but it's a labor of love. Always feel free to holler at me if you have any questions, comments or corrections to a posting (Sometimes I mess up - it happens...).

Grading System:
Near Mint / Near Mint Minus / Very Good +++ / Very Good ++ / Very Good + / Very Good / Very Good Minus / Good

If anything is unclear, or you have any questions regarding this item, shipping, etc. - just ask me. Essentially, I want to ensure that you are satisfied with the entire process.
