SPIRIT (Ode Z12 44003, MONO)

• Condition : Cover is VG+, tag tear / mark upper right front, timing strip lower front (very right edge of time strip is torn off), 1" horizontal structural rip lower right front cover edge is not too noticeable (nothing missing). Vinyl is NM except for a very small sticker tear on side one label (see scan), faint sleeve scuff or two on close inspection, this was out of a DJ collection and likely not played more that a few times. SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION (ends on Sunday)!
• Description : Very rare 1968 MONO promo. This also has the rarer black & white back cover slick. This LP itself is quite common, but in about 30 years I have seen exactly three mono copies (counting this one), and the other two were not even in playable condition, one having been badly warped and the other having been badly scratched! This one really just shows some minor cover flaws. Mixes are fairly different on some tracks. If this doesn't attract any bids at my minimum I will keep it, I was hoping to find a stone mint or sealed example for myself but there's a good chance that won't ever happen! Oh yeah, music is fantastic California psychedelic early jazz rock or early 'prog rock' in places, these guys were about 7 years too early to hit it big with this sound, one of the best CA groups of all time for sure...also listen to the instrumental "Taurus" on this LP then listen to the acoustic intro to Zep's "Stairway To Heaven"!

You cannot return a record simply because you don't like the music.
• Records are shipped in a cardboard record mailer with sufficient padding, and the disc is removed from the jacket to prevent seamsplits.
• I do not end auctions early. No offense, but if you ask, you will not receive a reply, sorry.
• Please do not ask me to email you with a list of every song on an LP. If you are looking for a specific song, inquire with the name of the song, I'll check ASAP to see if it's on the LP and reply promptly, but I don't have time to type out the names of every track, sorry to say. Also, sorry but requests from underbidders along the lines of "I didn't win, could you A) dub the record to CD for me B) ask the high bidder to dub the record to CD for me or C) give me the winner's email so I can ask" are ignored due to legal and privacy concerns.
