Description
Hello, I am a long-time eBay seller - since October, 1999. I have a 100% feedback record, so bid and buy with confidence. I have collected records for many years and every record I offer comes from my personal collection. The grade I specify for the vinyl is based upon a playback as well as a visual inspection. The grade I assign for the cover and inserts (if any) is based upon a close visual inspection. My grading standards are conservative - I believe that it does no one any good to inflate the grade of the record only to have the buyer be disappointed upon receipt and wish to return it. I offer a full, no-questions-asked return policy on every record I sell except in very rare circumstances. In those rare cases, I clearly state the condition of the record and explain why I cannot accept a return on it.
For sale today is Iron Butterfly's Live album issued in 1970. What makes this album very special is that it is a white label promo issued in the very rare mono format for AM radio station play. This album was never issued as a mono for commercial sale. These mono promo albums are extremely hard to find and make a very cool, highly collectible item. Because they are so very rare, they became a collecting challenge for me that I have had fun with over the years.
As to condition of this item, the vinyl looks VG+ but plays Near Mint. Only the occasional pop or tick, nothing major, and hard to believe it is 49 years old. No warps, no skips, no sticks. It honestly sounds really great!
The outer cover is in VG++ condition. Colors are full and vibrant, front and back. All corners are sharp and square. Spine is full and complete.
As to the labels, the white labels are in fine shape - no marks of any kind (see photos).
The record does not come with an original inner sleeve (not sure one was ever issued being it was a promotional release). But, I have stored the vinyl in an archival inner sleeve, which I then placed in a separate outer cardboard cover to protect both the vinyl as well as the outer cover (see photo).
All in all, a terrific package of this extremely rare white label mono promo by a fantastic rock band (plus, it has a really great version of the group's signature hit - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!) Thanks for looking.
