Dragonfly - Original 1968 psych LP on Megaphone - NM

$

280

This week I will be offering some midsummer deals. I will start everything at 5.00 but don't let it fool you. Some have a fairly decent value, some not. One thing you can be sure of is that they will be described accurately. Later this week I will toss a high end record or two into the mix. So keep an eye on my listings.

Here is an original Dragonfly LP from 1968 in NM condition. Very little is known about this So. California band, yet it has  certainly become a highly sought after item. This record has all the elements of 60s psychedelic, with screaming fuzz leads, backward mixes, psych-outs and carefree garage vocals and more than half the tracks are band originals. This is one of those rare psych albums that really rocks! But no sooner after you get buzzed by heaviness, they take you to a strange move of studio mind bending.
  Yes, I might be crazy offering this gem at this time of year, but I got bills to pay. 100% satisfaction guaranteed here. Don't let me down. You know the value. Try finding one in better condition. This cover, one famous for ringwear, has none. An the disk is spotless and plays CLEAN.

Artist/Band: Dragonfly
Title: (self-titled)
Label: Megaphone Records MS-1202
Year: 1968
Format: Stereo
Disk: NM
Cover: The cover is a strong EX for this title. It has no ringwear, split seams, writing, tears or damage. Since it is a unipac cover, the thin front flap of the unipac gatefold has VERY slight wear at the opening corners. That's it. The inner gatefold has a little age yellowing which can only be expected.
Comments:  I think even the fussiest collectors would be pleased with this very sweet example of this title. Please ask questions if you have them. I will take extra care shipping it to assure it arrives the way it leaves my house.

My Record Grading

NM - Has no marks or surface noise, full gloss and clean labels. Covers will have no addressable wear, crisp seams and corners.
EX - Very close to NM but might have only LIGHT surface marks only visable under bright light. Covers show only the slightest shelfwear
VG+ - Disk might have superficial marks that do NOT affect play, has NO audible scratches. Might have rare occasional dust ticks audible between tracks. It is a well kept record that shows normal but careful use. Cover shows it's age but has no serious ringwear or splits.
VG - Means VERY GOOD. The record is in realistic condition, but has NO deep scratches, skips or annoying surface noise. Might have light surface sound between tracks and quiet areas. But plays very good for an old record. Covers might have ringwear, minor splits and even writing, but is still presentable or even restorable.
G - Is an old used record that still plays good without skips. This is the condition of most 50s and 60s records and are usually not found for sale unless they are very rare. The cover still holds the record.

I ship records in a professional way. The disk will be sent out of the cover, packing assures safety to the cover. Shipping rates are only .60 over actual rate to cover box and new poly sleeve. Media Mail includes delivery confirmation. West Coast buyers will have Priority Mail rate adjusted with invoice @ .75 less. Canada buyers use lower rate of 6.50. I do combine shipping. Up to 3 LPs for same Media Mail rate. Add .50 after 3. Add 1.00 each added via Priority. Europe add 3.00 up to 3 albums. After that, it goes to more expensive Air Mail Parcel Post.

 NOTICE TO BUYERS OUTSIDE OF USA: The shipping rate is for normal professional packing of vinyl records. I can NOT be responsible for damage, lost or stolen items. Once the package leaves my hands, I have no control over handling and routing. To those who are concerned, I offer REGISTERED Mail for 20.00. For an oversized package, add 3.00 to the 13.00 rate. This would be a package within a package for safety of the cover. Countries with 'less than dependable' postal services take heed. These countries include Russia, Mexico and Eastern Europe. Also, certain countries known for rough handling of packages also take note. These include So. Korea, Sweden, Canada and Norway.
  I add this notice on certain items that are in unusually good condition for their age and would hate to see lost or damaged in the mail.
  If you have 0 to 5 feedbacks only, contact me before bidding. If you have excessive negative feedback DO NOT bid on this item. I will reserve the right to cancel undesirable bidders and offer the item to the preceding bidder.
