Welcome to Rock2FunkYourSoul's Rare Vinyl Auction! 150 records with particular focus this week on: Rock, Country, Folk, Psych, Bluegrass, Prog, Experimental, spanning mainly from the 1960's, 70's, and 80's! All pressings are original, I do not sell bootlegs, or reissues :)

• Vinyl Condition: NM (pristine!)

• Cover Condition: EX (extremely light imperceptible wear, tiny crease mark in upper left hand area)

• Year of Release: 1976

• Record Label / Catalogue #: Private Press, AMDS-101

• Additional Attributes: n/a

• Commentary (Something like the Beatles, Rush, etc. speak for themselves! This is a space for more obscure items, to provide a loving collector's notes, no dealer hype, just because a Xian private press has 5 seconds of fuzz guitar for example doesn't make it a psych grail out of acid archives or Pokora!)

Review: Gary Looper (mandolin, fiddle) played with Bluegrass Generation, Ricky Burch (5-string banjo) played with Sonny James, and was recorded on a best of Dobro 1994 Sugar Hill Records CD. Robin Looper (bass), and Sandy Dimon (guitar, autoharp) are amazing, this is there only recording, all contribute vocals. A beautiful rendering of Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors", and another standout for me was Billy Ed Wheeler "Coal Tattoo" cover. The whole thing comes together, with a lot of really spirited playing, you can tell Gary & Ricky are not holding back for no one! These 4 people coming together, jelling so naturally, they nailed it. Apparently a well-off local Atlanta patron was going to cover the pressing costs to print, but the copies never arrived. It turns out only one box was fulfilled, most thrown out, but one of the engineer's managed to save a couple copies. Eventually they got donated, tossed, and this seems to be the first, and only to turn up in the wild (I have no other copies, nor have any of my contacts found any other copies, as far as I am aware, this is the only known copy of it!). Rare as hen's teeth, and packs a mighty fiddle, this one is the kind you bring out and play it many times instead of remaining filed in the back rows of the archives!

My grading system comes from being a longtime collector myself, meaning conservative grading, and transparency :). NM EX VG+ VG VG- G+ 
Some terminology abbreviations: *DNAP = Does Not Affect Play *OIS = Original Inner Sleeve *WLP = White Label Promo
If a record is sealed, I will state "sealed" and presumed "mint", making sure it is flat, and such. Should a buyer win a sealed item, I am happy to unseal it for them upon request. 
Packing is done using LP mailers, record outside of jacket in polysleeve. All records that reach $30+ in final bidding will have a MoFi or similar high quality inner sleeve along with OIS (If OIS is applicable!) 
I have been collecting for about 20 years, and integrity is important to me; I want you to be proud and happy with your purchase, satisfied with accurate grading, and knowing you can have confidence in the record when bidding and purchasing.
At Rock2FunkYourJazzSoul we hope to have the honor of your business, and repeat business if another desired item comes up :)
Although the idea, practices is to absolutely avoid this for your satisfaction, if it happens, returns are accepted, money back, and for domestic purchasers in the US, the return shipping is on us. Everything possible is done to instead have an item you're completely satisfied with, but apart of integrity is standing by the customer, you. 
Please feel free to message with any questions, comments, concerns, and I will be happy to return a thorough, comprehensive response :)
*NOTE: PLEASE ALLOW FOR 5 DAY HANDLING TIME, I WILL ALWAYS INCLUDE TRACKING #*
If You Win Multiple Items Please Wait For My Invoice As I Will Combine Shipping To Be The Lowest Possible Cost For You :)

*NOTE ON CURRENT FEEDBACK: I have 1 negative feedback from a "buy it now" rare first edition book, from a partial refund troll, who refused full refund because they didn't want to return a book they admitted in the messaging was a great deal. eBay is currently adjudicating the matter, otherwise I have only positive feedback, check the one's left from my last vinyl sales for a good idea :)* - It's sad that this has happened, between Discogs, eBay, and selling at record conventions, I've never encountered this before. As someone who values integrity, I believe 99.9% of people are great, and will do good by others.
