Original USA 1972 Warner Brothers Records white label promo LP soundtrack from the Children's television program "The Electric Company"..........It features the songs I  remember as a kid with guest artist features by Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman, Mel Brooks, Rita Moreno, Lee Chamberlain, Victor Borge, Tom Lehrer, Ken Roberts, and more!!! (including a pre "Fame" Irene Cara as part of the "Short Circus"). This is complete with die cut gatefold cover, sort of like a unipak style sleeve but when you open it up the inside right part can completely fold down + 24 page really nice comic book with the nice day-glo colors of Peter Max inspired artwork, "crypto spectometer" (attaches on the inside) & Warner innersleeve (BS 2636). This is classic "Children's, Funk / Soul" music from the era. 2 LP shipping rate on this (heavier with booklet & gatefold cover).

CONDITION: The record, cryptometer, & booklet are in near mint condition. The cover is excellent (this was completely factory sealed when I got this about a year ago, I didn't know promo records came shrinkwrapped back then but it it was a re-shrinkwrap it must have been done immediately because it was in superb shape when I opened it) it has light wear on the bottom left corner tip (slightly got dented there) & some edgewear on the bottom right edge on the corner for 1" otherwise no wear since it was in shrinkwrap for 40+ years, I only played side one to bring back some memories of my childhood & the original shrink wrap bag is included.

LP SHIPPING + PACKING & VARIOUS INFO:
I use real coated cardboard LP mailers when I ship vinyl & these are very durable. I usually take the records with the inner sleeves out of the covers (unless factory sealed of course) so they don't split the seams of the cover in shipment. Then I put them in a 2 or 3 mil plastic sleeve & then wrap a plastic bag or two around them to keep them from flopping around in the mailer, this method seems to work best since it adds air & almost works like bubble wrap (keeps the LP's usually under a pound & saves a lot on shipping rates worldwide compared to using cardboard inserts), breakage rate has been way less than 1 in 1000 using this method, if I added cardboard it also would make the weight of it more prone to the corners getting dented in transit if dropped. 10" records & 12" singles count as 1 LP for shipping, single laserdiscs count as 2 LP's for shipping (& I pack 2+ records differently & I have oversized boxes for larger packages...don't worry I've been sending out stuff about 5 days a week for over 20 years now & know exactly what I'm doing over here). I also add plain white inner sleeves so custom innersleeves don't get spit in shipping also (if either company or specialty sleeves came with the record).

All records are BLACK VINYL unless noted & inserts/gatefold covers/posters/custom inner sleeves will be noted in the description if they are included plus promo & cutout marks stated if they are there also. I don't believe in hiding stuff & try to note most everything that should matter to buyers. All 12" vinyl on ebay is automatically listed as 33 1/3 rpm & 7" vinyl as 45 rpm (to save time on listing all this stuff) if you need to confirm speed on a specific item please ask & I can go check.
