THE SERAPHIMS CONSCIOUSNESS OF HAPPENING RARE MARK PRIVATE XIAN FOLK PSYCH LP

$

257

This is one ultra rare LP that never seems to show up. Amazing Private Press Xian Folk Psych Girl Group! Released in a very small run on the Mark custom label. Ken Scott rightfully gives it high praising in the "Archivist", which is an excellent guide book I recommend folks pick up if they're into this cool niche. Personally as a collector of this exact sort of stuff, this is one of those rare Private Press Xian records that lives up to the hype and then some, I encourage those unfamiliar to check out the clips on the discogs page! The title track is sublime. 
Vinyl Condition: VG - VG+ (I know this immediately seems misleading, but that is the inverse of my intent with this hyphenated grade. It does have some paper scuffs, nothing feel-able, no deep gouges, the main deal is a lot ingrained dust, a VPI could do wonders for this. I know that it is a very enjoyable play, loud press, so surface noise isn't really an issue at all. It's one of those strange cases where the visual is definitely a VG, but the sound is absolutely VG+, and the visual could be improved with a VPI.... so that is my lengthy explanation, meant to elucidate, and be thorough, I can say you won't be disappointed!) 
Cover Condition: NM (still in shrink!) 
Label: Mark
Year: 1968

WHY TO ADD ME AS A FAVORITE SELLER: 
1. Being a fairly longtime collector, I know grading/handling is paramount. I always strive to grade using rigorous standards. 99% of the time people are incredibly pleased, which brings me to...
2. If for any reason you are not 100% satisfied, send me a message, all items are guaranteed to match their grading. 
3. I Don't use odd grades like "Mint" (which I think is philosophically impossible from a subjective stance), or VG++ (What the heck is that anyway?). I am straight up, NM is my highest grade (Still Sealed is in a class of it's own), EX is a fantastic copy, and my VG+ is most people's VG++. 
4. I usually list a curated set once per week on Sundays (7 day auctions), I always have stuff from various genre's, and it will keep on a coming. There's a good chance I'll have something you want. 
5. I don't list ultra common records you can find anywhere, I list rare, interesting, scarce, ungoogable, and highly collectible LP's, 45's, and on occasion a 78 or two. 
6. I'm a super nice approachable guy, if there are any issues with needing extra time to pay, different shipping, special requests, etc. I am more then happy to oblige. 
7. I check my inbox at a minimum of once per day (usually more) 
8. My packing game is on point, I use industry standard mailers, and records always come with a plastic sleeve. You will never have to worry about a bad packing job. 
9. I ship quickly!
10. Well that's about the spiel, I am customer/people centric person, and I hope to be a positive ongoing part of your eBay experience!
