Description
Please note:
All items sent as packages receive an automatic tracking number. This will be sent to you or put on the shipping page. Please make sure your postal delivery site is safe and your item is not left in the open, on a doorstep or sticking out of a mailbox on a fence. I can prove I sent it but if it gets lost then you will have to use PayPal/Ebay’s protection cover. Don’t expect me to refund on lost items UNLESS it is my fault.
All albums are visually graded unless otherwise stated.
The scan forms part of the description.
Email any queries before bidding.
All albums sent outside the covers and in a standard album mailer. If insurance is desired (suggested) it usually kicks the postage about $3-5, depending on the level of insurance.
POSTAGE for one album is usually $8.50, doubles $12-$14.00 depending on location and weight as some doubles have heavier covers or inserts. "X"# of LPs or mixed vinyl to 5kg total weight is $19.00. If heavier packing is requested it may inflate the postage due to the extra packing weight. If you are not sure let me know ahead of time and I'll weigh it up before sending you the invoice.
If you are bidding on more than one or more items please let me know so I can hold them for a single invoice. Holding items is limited to a 10 day period.
All postal rates quoted are domestic. International buyers please email for quotes or wait for your invoice. Don’t pay until you get the adjusted invoice.
I always put "Good" or "Very Good" at the top of the listing BUT read the more detailed description in the Item Description below. Ebay's definitions don't suit most vinyl gradings.
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys Puppet Cover-1970Aussie Polydor LP cover variant
Label: Australian Polydor Stereo 2406 002
Year: 1970ish
Labels: Exc both sides ("Band Of Gpysies" on the labels, "Band of Gypsys" on the cover
Vinyl: Strong vg+ on both sides, gloss, shine all there, slight topical marks but nothing etches the grooves. Looks very nice.
Cover: Exc both sides
I know of two distinct variations of the back cover of the "puppet" LP covers. One variation has normal spacing between the first paragraph below the guitar head with "Distributed in Australia by...." followed by normal spacing with the "This stereo record can be played......paragraph, then the Polydor logo & price code spill.
This version has a obvious large spacing between the two paragraphs below the guitar head but omits the "distributed in Australia....paragraph, has the "This stereo record can be played.....paragraph but not spaced as far as the above mentioned variant, is the Polydor logo without any price code spill and only the catalogue number and STEREO printed. There is also an Miss/under print slightly visible through the cover "PRINTED AND MADE BY MacNEIL Press Ltd LONDON SE1 (or SR1)
Puppets are Jimi, Brian Jones, John Peel and Bob Dylan. This now iconic mega rare "puppet sleeve" sold in limited qantities before being withdrawn to be replaced with the much much more common live shot of Jim. Issued in the UK, Australia and a few others.
Below is the other Australian LP back cover variation
Note differences to one listed here for sale.
On 16-Jan-17 at 16:47:36 AEDST, seller added the following information:
PLEASE NOTE: I have played this LP per request and it visually looks Exc- with the lightest of topical slide marks but barely visible. All shine is still there and very nice.
Sound wise: Side 1 has some auduble ticks and crackles until the band kicks in and then it is pure loud Jimi from then on, no noticeable noise except between tracks and in the quiet parts, common for vinyl this old, regardless of how it looks visually. Side 2 has only the slightest of minimal vinyl noise and hardly noticeable at all, except for the quiet parts or between tracks.
PLEASE REGRADE YOUR BIDDING TO A VG+ RECORD, JUST TO BE FAIR. THE COVER AND ALL OTHER ISSUES ARE EXC.
IF ANY BIDDER WISHES TO RETRACT THEIR BIDS THAT IS FINE.
