Description
USA approximately 1980 mega rare LP (volume 1 went for 125 the other day) comes with a sticker with "187" on it not on label but vinyl trail off numbers (RA-2A / RA-2B). No track listing enclosed (or even song separation) & I'm not a big fan so I really don't know their rare stuff. I think the track listing is in the back of one of their fan collectible books I had for sale years ago. I've had no luck with Google on this one.
SONGS:
A: Mickey, Davy, Mike, Peter solo stuff by each it sounds like 60's & 70's.B: Listen To The Band, Wind Up Doll from 33 1/3 revolutions per Monkee it sounds like & then more solo sounding stuff by the members.
CONDITION: The record is VG+ overall, some pops on side from the pressing quality, no wear or scratches on this. The cover is near mint & it's the old style grey color inside that gets ringwear fast but this one is still in the original shrinkwrap. Just two portions of price tags on it.
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 inner sleeves 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.
