About This Record.  Here's another really cool item from my record collection by The Chocolate Watch Band (aka Chocolate Watchband) entitled The Inner Mystique on USA Tower Records from 1968 in super rare Mono format and in keeper shape.  This is a seriously rare LP that never turns up, and this is your chance.  Condition/details? Why? This is the first and only pressing in mono, while the stereo had two different labels, as did the mono and stereo copies of their No Way Out LP, and their Stereo Inner Mystique. But not this one, unless you have a counterfeit or a bootleg or a reissue.  AND the MONO sounds simply incredible!

Please see more detailed grading comments below and please do CHECK my Feedback which shows you my grading Cover/Vinyl of other LPs I have recently sold and what the lucky people who are now taking care of my vinyl thought about our experience. [SORRY about my reserve which is what I paid precisely 23 years ago]

PLEASE see all my additional photos and details regarding condition of the cover and vinyl below.  The photos of the labels or cover list the songs and any possible details about the labels.  Sometimes I cancel my LPs for sale because I listen to them and decide I cannot sell them.  But I never unlist an LP that someone has bid for if they have reached my reserve bid (in case I have one which is rarely the case).

I offer full refund including shipping both ways (for USA and most foreign buyers who contact me with questions beforehand) in case for some wildly strange reason you might be unhappy with this purchase.  Comes hand-cleaned on my VPI 16.5 Record Cleaning machine (hate those automated 17's) and placed in a new dust-free sleeve for your grandchildren.  And two plastic sleeves for moisture protection (for you and me).

Please note that I work for eBay and this link is to the Code I have to abide by as an eBay employee:  http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/everyone-employee.html I have no clue who works in the Collectibles Division and am not involved in any policy or other decisions that go on; I just happen to like vinyl and happen to work at eBay

Cover Condition:  STRONG VG+ because of small drill hole in lower left corner from PROMO or deletion status, and light cover wear and light cover wear, including top and bottom seams that are beginning to "flake" but there are no spine or seam tears (except for very very very small ones around the corners) notwithstanding the light flaking on the seams and spine. Keeper copy! [Not that you will ever find another copy in your lifetime :) ]Please Read my feedback.

I always reserve the right to take my LPs off auction if nobody bids or if nobody reaches my reserve after a certain time so please bid now and don't just mark this in your watch list or your bidslammer list, or if you don't just don't complain later.  :)

Vinyl Condition: STRONG EX. Original pressing in Mono format.  This was never reissued in the later but contemporary label that changed the publishing credits on the Stereo versions.  This has the credits that feature Equinox and other credits that have not been deleted and also accompany the unwordly godly "BMI" credits. Keeper copy.  As all Tower pressings, light background noise (from pressing) evident during trail outs portions between tracks.  These never turn up so here is your chance.  My EX is really conservative IMHO given the defects in the original pressing, so please read my feedback and keep in mind that, as you know, this LP is Essential for anyone's collection and this is a keeper copy!

Inserts: Comes with original plain paper and now "browning" innersleeve, but also comes cleaned on my VPI Record Cleaning Machine and in a new protective plain paper innersleeve (so the old dust does not reattach!  OH my gosh!!. 

Labels:   EX+ labels (minor issues) (see photos of all labels).

Packaging.  I clean all vinyl on my V.P.I. Record Cleaning Machine and place it in a new innersleeve so the old dust does not reattach; but I also include the innersleeve that came with the LP if it is the original.  I separate the vinyl in its new sleeve after cleaning from the cover, and place the cover and the separately packed vinyl in at least one if not two plastic outer sleeves that help protect against moisture damage during this cool transition to your record collection.  I use sturdy cardboard containers with real corners and pack with at least one insert stiffener, and I place neon stickers on the front and back of the package indicating “Do Not Bend” and “Fragile” to help facilitate a safe passage.

Shipping and Payment.  PayPal only.  I ship promptly worldwide. The automatic eBay invoice cannot compute accurate shipping/postage charge if you buy more than one LP, so if you are unsure email me and ask for an invoice. I will ship by any method you want.  But if you do not pay for protecting your purchase by requesting insurance, or expensive International Priority Mail, then please understand the record will be shipped at your own risk and not mine.  I offer full refund on this record including shipping both ways.  CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS:  Please add sales tax!
