Description
DESCRIPTION
ARTIST: SAM & DAVE
TITLE: “SOUL MEN”
PRESSING: 1967 Original “FIRST” Pressing STEREO LP
CATALOG #: STAX S 725
Comments: Extremely RARE Sealed copy of this popular LP!!
CONDITION ( Please refer to Grading Standards below)
COVER: Strong NrMT
Comments: Super clean “pastedown” cover displays bright vivid colors with the “original” factory shrink wrap intact with the proper “breathe” holes on the front and back. There is ever so slight ring wear (see photograph) that may be on the shrink wrap rather than the cover itself. There are No marks or writing, No creases, No seam splits, and No cut out marks, discount holes, or No bar codes. Ever so slight barely noticeable corner wear and a tiny 1/2 inch separation of the shrink in the upper right corner are the only minor flaws and mentioned for accuracy. There is absolutely No other separation of the shrink along the opening side of the album! Doesn’t get too much better than this for an almost 50 year-old sealed original LP!!
VINYL: Presumed MINT (Sealed)
Comments: The album contains a “rigid” vinyl LP record associated with the First Pressing “Yellow” labels with STAX logo at the top, and NOT a “flimsy” vinyl re-issue with a different type of shrink wrap process. LP features many classic Sam & Dave songs including “May I Baby”, “Broke Down Piece Of Man”, “Don’t Knock It”, “Just Keep Holding On”, and of course one of their greatest hits ever and title track “Soul Man”!!
Please note: This album is being listed and sold as a “Sealed” collectible LP. If the buyer decides to break the seal on the opening side of the album, I will NOT accept the return of the LP. Please know this in advance.
I am very conservative with my grading. There is NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE for multiple LPs won in the same auction cycle. Payment is due within 72 hours of the end of the auction. e-mail if you have any questions prior to placing a bid. All of my LPs come with a protective poly album sleeve and will be shipped in a sturdy cardboard LP mailer, tightly wrapped in bubble wrap for added protection.
Shipping: $4.00 Media Mail. If you purchase multiple LPs in this auction cycle, please wait to make payment until I adjust the eBay invoice to reflect one shipping cost.
PLEASE NOTE: I ship to the United States only!! NO International bids will be accepted, no exceptions – I will NOT ship overseas.
