Description

Happy holiday season to all from Psych & Pstuff. Welcome back for a holiday blowout sale of some very rare Psych and Hard Rock LPs. This go round I will be listing all Buy It Now listings that will be up for 7 days only. I am dropping prices as low as I can possibly go, just to be sure I do not lose money. It's holiday time and I am in a giving spirit. All LPs are 1st press original LPs. I do not sell reissues or bootlegs. There will be a few Holy Grail pieces listed so don't let them get away. Let's start out with something very rare and in like new condition at a sweet price.  All records listed will be in VG++ and NM condition.

My grading is listed as LP/Cover.

The Chocolate Watchband were on of the best psych bands on the scene. Hailing from San Francisco area this LP, No Way Out being the band's first release is a psych anthem with some of the best psych tunes I have ever heard. If you want any CWB album it's this one. A killer from start to finish. This is a conservative grade. So overall the package grades out at VG++/EX. Certainly sounds better than a VG+ LP. Guaranteed or your money back.

LP - Has some visible signs of and plays with some static between songs. Once the music starts the static goes away. It has only one real fault and that is very light. At the beginning of track2, Side 2 there is a small scratch about 1/8" long and makes a very light click sound through several revolutions, but it is very light. Otherwise the LP does show a few hairlines and paper marks but still rates an VG++ grade because nothing but a few clicks interfere with the music.

Cover is really nice and clean. If it were not for just a very small amount of ring wear starting on the top of the front it would be NM. No splits, writing, holes or damage of any kind and the spine is perfect. You can see in the photos how light the ring wear is. It is barely noticeable.

Label shows some spindle marks. The labels are clean, but you can tell this LP was played but taken very good care of.

Get it while it's hot. Hard to find LP at a hard to find price. I have sold this LP several times before in NM condition for up to $680, so this is a great price for the buyer who doesn't mind a bit of static between tracks.

Please ask any questions and check my seller feedback. Prices are derived from past sales on Ebay, via Ebay, Popsike and Collector frenzy.  I also wanted to mention that my VG+ ratings are still nice playable LPs. There may be a few ticks or static between songs but still a very nice listen. The cover may also show a bit more wear or have a small seam opening, but still looks nice and clean. Since record grading is so subjectible to the sellers opinion, I wanted to give you my VG+ grading and what goes into calling it VG+. Thank you.

My grading system is M(only used on sealed LPs), NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG- and Good. LPs rated good will only be sold if they are very rare. I have been collecting and grading LPs for nearly 5 decades. I was a seller of guitars for many years on Ebay and now decided to put some of my LP collection up for sale. I have many Psych, Hard Rock, Blues, Jazz, Prog and more from the 1960s and 1970s. Many are still sealed. I will offer auction style and Buy It Now listings.

Shipping - I will ship media mail to anywhere in the US for $5.00 I will also offer Priority shipping for $12.00. I ship in LP mailers with the LPs outside of the sleeve to avoid seam splits. Sealed LPs will not be opened. I will also ship to Europe and Japan via USPS international First Class mail for $25 for the first LP. I will combine shipping. I will ship within 3 business days of receiving cleared payment.

Payment - I accept Paypal payments only and items must be paid within 3 days of listing's close. Please pay on time.

Thank you all and come back often. Please ask any questions you may have and check that feedback.

Please be sure to check my other items for great holiday savings. There will be 2 Chocolate Watchband LPs, Orphan Egg, Them Original UK 1st press, The Red Crayola, Ambrose Slade - Ballzy and more. Thank you.
