VG++/VG+(+)

US 1980

Larkspur Music - LP 1001

From Soquel, California, a suburb of Santa Cruz, this band put together one homemade LP and released it on their own private record label. Playing The Civic Auditorium and the iconic rock venue The Catalyst, it's certain they made their mark locally.

Musically, this LP is infectious with hard rock and guitar. Jonathon Hutchings was behind the band, writing all the songs, but his voice is one of the stranger ones I've heard.

Cover has some shelf, edge and corner wear. Record plays VG++ or better. Generic inner sleeve. Signatures dedicated to Lori on the backside.

I was Ina-Gadda-Da-Records.

Long time buyer from E-bay and other record websites since the 90's.

Please bear with me. I'm selling off my entire record collection (about 40,000 LPs) listing them one at a time.

A long and arduous task. Lots of gems and rare stuff.

Check out The Psychedelic Digest.

Auctions are listed for 10 days.  

All listed records up for bid start at $1 USD each.

All records are conservatively Graded to GOLDMINE Standards and are rated Vinyl / Cover. For double LPs Vinyl / Vinyl / Cover. I will visually grade both sides of vinyl and play grade if I see unusual flaws. Covers will be visually graded. Plenty of pictures for any records that are high end items.

LPs will be packaged in the proper corrugated cardboard box, we all know about, with extra cardboard pads. Each LP will have a clear plastic sleeve. The record itself will be removed and shipped within the sleeve separate from the cover to prevent any seam splits. The vinyl record will NOT be removed from a sealed LP purchase for shipping.

Payment is due within 7 days unless you let me know. If payment has NOT been received within the 7-day payment period and you have NOT contacted me, the record will be relisted.

I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE, BUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS DETERMINED BY THE WEIGHT OF THE PACKAGE. DO NOT MAKE PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE.

If you have won an auction and see another item that ends beyond the 7-day maximum payment period, let me know and I will hold your item until that bid period ends. This would be a special circumstance that would not extend beyond 10 days. I will invoice you for the full amount and expect payment at that point.

Typically, USA Media mail would be 1-2 LPs- $5.00 USD. Canada $23.00 USD. Europe $28.00 USD. Additional LPs as per total weight. I will send an invoice with total postage cost.

I can combine the shipping but will only send a maximum of 10 records per package. Additional postage will be determined by total weight of the package. An invoice will be sent to you.

Priority Mail, Insurance, etc. is available at additional costs. Let me know and I will send an invoice.

I will Refund for any item purchased and received that was not fully as described. Grading is the usual cause of concern here. We're talking used and 30-50 years old. There are no perfect records, even sealed records can have flaws. If there is a concern, please contact me. 

I've purchased records in the past, and one time I received a record that was literally broken in half. As if an engine was thrown on top of it. I didn't buy insurance. Not the seller's fault. I contacted him and let him know, but I took the loss. Just know sometimes through USPS things can happen.

Any returns will be posted at the buyer's cost. If necessary, I will only refund the original purchase price.

Please message me thru E-Bay to discuss any problem.

Positive Feedback is happily accepted and reciprocated.
