Description
THE MANDRAKE MEMORIAL: same (Poppy PY40,002/1968)
Very rare mono promo copy of the debut album from these Philadelphia psychsters. You see at least 10 stereo copies for each mono, which was promo only. In fact, the label didn't even bother making a separate cover, but rather just affixed two stickers ('mono', 'DJ') to the front covers of stereo copies (as seen in the photo). The labels are the same design as stock copies, but with "Disc Jockey Record NOT FOR SALE" imprinted on each side.
The cover is in Ex condition (some ringwear on back). The record looks VG+ (a couple of patches of tiny marks on each side that cannot be felt with one's finger if rubbing it across the vinyl), play Ex (a couple of spots with very light crackling).

GENERAL INFO
SHIPPING: Shipping costs will be quoted based on cost for estimated weight plus $1.00 to cover most of the cost of packing materials. If you win more than one record, one cost will be calculated based on total weight; you will not be charged individual shipping for each one. If you win an auction, but see another current auction of mine you plan to bid on, notify me if you'd like to wait to pay for them together and have them shipped together to save on shipping.
All records are packed in in between two cardboard filler pads and shipped in professional cardboard mailing boxes. All unsealed 12" records are taken out of their covers to prevent seam splitting. If there is a custom inner sleeve, the record will be put in a separate white inner. If a 7" record comes in a picture sleeve, the same procedure is followed.
GRADING: I grade records both visually and audibly. As grading is so imprecise and subjective, I don't have a set grading description like you see listed in many auction and collector magazines. My grades for records and covers are based on the overall conditions I describe in each auction; I will note any visual defects and (for the vinyl) any non-musical sounds (pops, clicks, skips, etc.).
