Description

Up for bid is this mega rare copy of >>> THE FRANK DERRICK TOTAL EXPERIENCE, YOU BETCHA !, LIVE AT FIDDLERS <<<

P.S. Records Stereo P.S. 1320 I am selling this LP as I found it, it seems as though it includes some extras, but I will describe everything as best I can starting with:

LP = VG+: and at the very top of that grade. I cannot grade NM because it does have just a few (4) VERY LITE sleeve marks. I played this LP thru twice to get a strong sense of it's grade. None of those forementioned sleeve marks create any noise. I found it to play 99% perfect. To me that means that I could only hear about 10 very lite tics in it's entire playback (some possibly from dust), and just a few short spots that have lite "static". There are no deep scuffs, no heavy tics / pops, no heavy "crackle". There is some lite dust on the LP and I will be doing my best to have it professionally cleaned befor it ships out (but no promises). I can assume that playback will even improve after cleaning. Labels are nice and clean, and matrix #'s are P.S.1320 A & P.S.1320 B I consider this LP as close to NM as you can get without being NM.

Jacket = VG: The jacket takes a hit on grading because it has writing with red ink on both the front and back. The writing on the front reads " Lou Darling 8-10-74" The writing on the back reads " Lou Darling 8-10-74 Derrick Enterprises Via Creating World" I have no idea who this writing is from, why it is there, or wether or not it takes away from value. All edges show some minor wear, but show easily because it contrasts with the black cover. All 4 corners show some lite wear also, nothing serious at all! This jacket is still VERY TIGHT, and isn't even close to having a seam split. In other words, this jacket doesn't show any signs of falling apart anytime soon, it is solid throughout. If it wasn't for the writing, it would be VG+.

Tracks Are; Socialite Suburbanite, You Betcha!, Inspiration, Good Evenin', Jazz Scene, No Jive, Poor Man's Blues, Variations in Jazz

All things considered, this is still a "TOP QUALITY" example of this super rare, highly sought after LP........but wait!, there's more!.....

Inside this LP I found a folder titled " The Frank Derrick Total Experience", inside, I found 3 copies of - The 3 copies are: Spring 1974, Summer '74, & Special Supplement. There is also a photo of the band. I am not 100% sure, but I believe this photo is a re-print of an original?...like something maybe they sent out to fans in these newsletters?

?I have a reserve set on this auction. I will not respond to questions asking me what the reserve price is. I will say that I have researched this LP and could only find four (4) that had been sold in the last few years......my reserve is set lower than any of these that I had found. Zero (0) feedback bids will be cancelled. Payment or buyer contact will be greatly appreciated within 48 hours of auction close. Good luck if you decide to bid, this is a TRUE gem! Ask questions if needed.
