Autographed: "To Karen, I am so stoned right now, that anything I wrote would sound like junk. Get the point? Love Damon" (See Pics)
Overview One of the rarest and most sought after psychedelic rock records in existence. Only 100 of these records were privately pressed by Ankh. Furthermore, this copy is autographed by Damon himself!!! The vinyl has the marking ANKH-968 and has the address of the record label printed on the label.
This treasure was rescued from the basement of its previous owner, where it was subjected to less than ideal conditions. The cover bears the worst of the damage, having split along both sides and developed mildew spots. It also has writing indentations across it. Despite this, the record itself has miraculously stayed in good condition. The surface of the record shows wear and has some light scuffs and scratches throughout, but playback remains largely unaffected Please see the video where I attempt to display the surface in detail.
Listening Experience I listened through the entire record without any skipping and found the sound quality to be very good in light of the covers condition.There is light crackling that is audible in between tracks. Throughout the listening, I noted a handful of light clicks or pops, but they did note detract from the listening experience. None of these occurred in a looping manner.
The most notable noise is present on Side 2 during the first track. In this moment there was scratchiness that preceded the track and two louder pops during it. After this the quality was back to that described above, a handful of rather imperceptible clicks over the course of the whole side. I am giving the listening experience a VG grade.
Grade: Record: VG Cover: Poor
Shipping (US Only) The record had no inner or outer sleeve when I found it, but I have added these. The record will be packed with the utmost care, sandwiched between multiple layers of cardboard and placed in box designed specifically for vinyl. I will ship Priority Mail instead of Media Mail, in order minimize travel time and potential damages. The package will be insured and I require a signature, unless you prefer otherwise.
I do not offer returns, so please look through all of the pictures and make an informed purchase.
