Description
Mighty Ryeders - Help Us Spread the Message (Criteria Recording Studios acetate). OK, by the spindle marks on the photo on Popsike, this appears to be the copy that sold for $865 in 2005, but I can't be sure. I didn't pay nearly that price, and the condition is not VG. When I bought this, there was a small chunk of the lacquer missing from the first track "The Mighty Riders" and the lacquer had a sort of minor "bubbling" look on the edges of both sides. There is another small piece of lacquer that chipped off the disc at the very edge of Side 2. The majority of the album appears playable, but due to the fragile nature of acetates, and this one in particular, I only play my Luv n' Haight copy, which is a better sound anyway. I played "Evil Vibrations" once when I first received this, and it plays through fine. But I want to stress that this record probably should not be played, especially deejayed with. Acetates are extremely fragile, and this is more of a work of art and a piece of soul history than a record. I guess it's sort of a holy grail version of a holy grail record and probably belongs framed on a wall more than spinning on a turntable. I'm almost scared to ship it. This one's all about bragging rights, I suppose. You probably will never see this again unless you win it. This may be the only copy in existence? No reserve on this one.
About me: I've been collecting records for a long time, over 20 years, but more heavily beginning in the early 90s. I'm not a professional dealer. The items I'm auctioning are coming from my collection. I remember the feeling of listening to some of these records for the first time; hopefully now I will be passing that feeling on to some of you. I'm also familiar with the feeling of receiving a record in worse condition than described and feeling cheated; I have no desire to have any transaction end that way here. Every record here is visually inspected and play-graded and will be shipped in sturdy record mailers. I'm selling off some of my records because I sadly need the money, but it's also my aim that the record brings you happiness and not regret. I'm putting up some killer rarities so please check my other auctions for more soul, funk, jazz, Latin, Brazilian, African goodness. My scale goes: S/S (still sealed), M-, VG+, VG, VG-, G, F.
Payment:?
Paypal preferred. Personal checks only from US buyers with feedback rating over 100; item will not be shipped until check clears. Payment to be made within seven days of auction's close. I will send you an invoice at the end of the auction. If you have won multiple items please wait for my invoice because eBay checkout will probably give you an incorrect shipping total. Buyers with less than 20 feedbacks should contact me before bidding for approval or your bid may be canceled!??
